Ok....
let me ask you this. Are you going to put 100k on a 500 rwhp fd?
No i dont have 500 rwhp. A 20b with a large turbo (t66) would make 500 easily on lower boost levels. Look at pettit's Banzai.
I just have beef with you (eip) because you dont even have the car yet...and are blabbing all over the internet how rotarys suck, and you want a 500 rwhp "beater". this is exactly how you make it sound! IF you want 500 rwhp and decent reliability, go get a damn supra. Dont cut up a perfectly good FD because you read somewhere on the internet that they can have trouble. As long as you take every precaution...you could make the power and still have the "reliability" factor.
Look at all the people with high powered FD's on the forum. They all have beaters. I dont see any reason why you would put that much time and money into the car, just to beat on it all the time.

Why do you really care if anyone cuts an FD up, just look at it this, it makes your car that much more rare.

It just makes me sad that the best (imo
I have no beef with guys swapping in FC's. You see FC's all the time, and its cool to have something a little different.

OK, if someone hacked up an R100 and didn't put a rotary back in it, THEN I would be pissed. But a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen really wouldn't faze me as long as it was faster, and better than stock in at least 1-2 ways.
I just wisk someone would make like a 6 liter rotary

wouldnt a 400hp FD be as fast as 500hp piston car, or close to it with better handling?
i dunno supras, what car is the 7m out off? a friend is starting an AE86 project and we are looking at different engines.

I have always thought that if you just had to swap a piston engine into an RX-7 (like if the world supply of apex seals was exhausted ), the engine of choice would be the WRX STi engine, I don't follow Subaru that much so I don't remember the code (thereby losing me cool points - ouch) - but that is a really short engine with a low centre of gravity, and a lot of power potential. As a bonus, it also has a unique sound.
