I was wondering would a s2000 engine fit in my 94 RX-7? ive had enough of this wankel nonsence... constant trouble with the engine...

it rotates wrong.



kevin.

you could always buy an s2k?



oh and if a v8 will fit in there im thinking that an i4 will too

and it still rotates the wrong way.

That could be a problem... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png so stupid of me to ask! sorry

It's only the older hondas that rotate the other direction - the new ones all rotate the right way - makes no difference, the counter-rotating gigadrive-differential location means this swap is absolutely impossible.

And thank god it does, bastardized engine swaps make me sick!

is this true bc it sounds like complete bs! but i think if anyone would know you would bc im sure you looked at putting one in your locoblade

The older engines actually did rotate counter-clockwise, but all the new i-vtech generation and the RWD Hondas all rotate the right way - same goes for the bike engines obviously https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683745.gif

yes yes, quite impossible.....

do you actually have something to contribute to the topic in question? or are you just some kid with an unhealthy obsession with one kind of car/engine. My opinion is that every post, including this one, that does not deal with putting an s2000 motor in an rx7 and its possiblity/impossiblity should be deleted.

Stop being so defensive and post more pics and or details of this S2000 engine RX7. Or MX7?



I think it looks pretty sweet, looks professionally done, DETAILS!

i've got a whole about 500mb of media from the buildup, what do you want to see specifically?

to be honest, i wouldnt waste my time or my money. unless money is no issue for you and you are extremely mechanicaly inclined i wouldnt even touch the topic.

id like to see close ups of the engine bay.

Post some highlights of it, or e-mail them to me... AIM me at colinrx7







Considering this is asking about an S2K motor in an RX7, I think pics and details are in order for public viewing and archivial purposes





HA

I think it is kind of silly that you swapped the S2k engine into an RX-7. But it is your choice. Why not swap a LS1?



But it is your car, whatever. It is silly, and kind of interesting at the same time. Damn you!!

First off, it isnt his car. Read.



Second off, if you have a FC with no drivetrain, and have a S2k motor and trans...Why not?



this guy has the skills and time, so **** it.

Mucho respect to anyone who can do a clean complete driveline swap





nobody realizes what level of fabrication and skill it takes to attain that CLEAN of an install





Piston into a rotary car ooohhh the devil big deal.









If you took a 1982 diesel jetta engine, dressed it up, and stuffed it into your RX7, I'd give you props if you did a clean job





What people should hate is backyard v8 swaps by hack mechanics that look like garbage and have no clue what it means to have a penetrating weld

LOOK AT THAT CAR ITS MINT





HOW COULD YOU HATE IT JUST LOOK AT IT





lol

I don't hate it at all. It is just different and interesting. More pics!

I think its a waste of an RX7? He could have just put in a rotary that was easily capable of the same power.



But I see the dillema. If you have an S2K motor laying around, what are you gonna put it in. A heavy Supra?

People should be honoured the RX7 chassis is so well designed that it's considered an excellent canidate for any "monster" swap







So If I swapped a 13B-REW into my protege, is it a waste of a protege?

It's a double standard. It's okay to put rotaries in anything, it's just not right to take them OUT and replace them with a piston motor.

Isnt it funny how these things work?

couple pics

I would at least try and put a V6 honda engine in there.... Shessshhhh... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

So, if I took a Porsche Carrera, and swapped in a VW Beetle engine. I would like to see your guys "double standard" in effect!

the whole double standard is that all of these retards rejoice when they see a rotary going in a car originally equipped with a piston engine, but scream sacrilege when a piston engine is put in a rotary powered car.



your argument is like taking a fd, and putting in a 12a.

[quote name='RussellTT94' date='Jul 15 2005, 09:41 PM']your argument is like taking a fd, and putting in a 12a.


[/quote]



id do it



if i had a 12a available and a welder to fab mounts, and an fd with a blown engine









people look at the car and assume they really had to go out of their way to make something, some people have connections here and there and they can build something that seems drastic without hardly spending a dime

I just had a brief chat with the owner of this car



He had connections at his local honda supplier, he got the engine and transmission for an excellent cost, and he was building a race car



the engine does spin in the proper direction, he fabricated transmission and engine mounts, and had a custom driveshaft designed and balanced.



it uses OEM engine controls, and handles like a dream, and gives newer and more powerful vehicles than the S4 TII FC3S a run for their money.



All while being N/A.



If you can't respect the clean install and functionality of this swap, then you need some time to think outside the box and experience what it takes to do design and fab with a goal in mind.

There's no huge secret to sticking a different engine in a car, the main objection I see people having is if they think the new engine is better that what was there - the question is what makes a better engine than a rotary?

Really? Even if the 12a makes more power than the stock FD? Even if the beetle made more power than than the Carrera?



Your proving my point..



[quote name='ColinRX7']people look at the car and assume they really had to go out of their way to make something, some people have connections here and there and they can build something that seems drastic without hardly spending a dime[/quote] Like i said earlier, you got an S2K engine, it would be hard to find a better car to put it in. But to go out of your way to find a motor and trans to put in an RX is a waste of money, time, and resources.

There is a difference between respecting the quality of the work, and liking the end result.
