very cool swap. a friend of mine has a mkII supra with a 7m in it. http://wsbf.net/cowgod/photos/2003/index.p...815-new-project

How else was I supposed to get it to fit?



There is no way that it would have sit in there with a radiator without cutting the fire wall.





Also it helped the weight balance by moveing it back.

Looks pretty good. But, why. Thats butchering a great car. We have a shop MK3 that reaches the 300hp mark and doesn't even compare to a RX7. My RX is probally around 210 and it is so much smoother, revs better, sounds awesome (nothing beats the sound of a rotary). Why didn't you do a 20b swap, or a 26b (soon i'll build it). I can understand the whole more torque thing, but the motor mounts in a RX weren't designed for torque. I would bet that the 7m would tear those things apart. But what the hell do I know. I'm a MR2 person that drives a T2 (and loves it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ).

That's why I'm useing mazdatrix compitition motor mounts.











I can't believe that!!!



My brother's MKIII NA, revs smoother than any engine I've ever heard, has such a mean growl at any RPM over 3,000, and has an awsome idle.



Now the last rotary I had on the other hand, reved very nicely (like every rotary), sounded like a jetsons car/weed eater, and has NO idle. But that was just my car.









I thought it was like breading new life into a good car to make it better. I think it will be SO MUCH BETTER than the stock TII. But who knows.

i say nice job, and don't feel like you have to explain yourself to everyone on here....

Looks nice, im glad your not like the local guy that v8 swapped his na fc, he'll bash rotaries any chance he gets.

fit under the hood?

The 7M-GTE is a pretty bad ass engine but watch for a blown headgasket. My friend and brother have been in to these engines for a while and have came across that problem.

What EMS will you run?

Yeah, I didn't really want the podunk, hilly billy, bastardized car. And I still like rotary's, I just wanted this a little more.











Acctually yes, but only with a **** hair of clearance, and that is after cutting some small piece's off of the hood. But this is also a TII hood, and the timeing belt, and timing belt pully's are acctually up in the scoop. So it worked out good.













Well for now, until I get the money to buy a stand alone ECU, I'm going to use the stock ECU, and all the stock electronics.

uhh, i give you props for doing it but i look down on you for just giving up on the rotory. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683607.gif



Anyways like I said, good work on it though.



I do have one concearn. Its not the weight, its where its at. Look at how high a lot of the weight on that thing is. Then go look at where a shortblock sits in one. You'll get the picture.



Good luck reguardless

I know what your saying, but the supra engine's are tall engine. And there is no way I could lower it anymore without makeing a whole new sub-frame for the front end, and relocateing the sway bar, and rack and pinion. Because the oil pan is about a finger's width away from the sway bar in the frontf, and then just a LITTLE bit farther away from the rack and pinion. And even if I made a new oil pan I could only lower it, 1/2-1 inch at the most.
