i think a rotary gsx would be cool, dunno if it's money efficient, but sounds cool

Jeff20B 12-21-2003 04:09 AM

A subaru swap has been done by a few people. I guess it depends on if you like the GL Wagon or Brat or whatever else you can find that needs an engine. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

i was thinking gsx because my friend has one with a blown engine for 500 bucks, since my rx-7's frame is f**ked i thought it would be cool.

There was a rotary powered RX for sale a while back. I'd like one of those!

rx-7Drifter 12-22-2003 09:43 PM

UniqueTII 12-23-2003 04:19 AM

It's a Subaru coupe.



Here's the one with the 13B in it:

Just get a 86-93 B2600 and swap the motor and bellhousing out.Then you can use a NA FC bellhousing on the stock tranny and use the stock truck parts.The only bad thing is that this will not work with a T2 swap.Oh well just put a S5 bridgeported motor in it with a 150hp shot of NOS.That should hold your power urges over for awhile. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

The N/A has a removable bell housing? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png Are you guys talking about an Eclipse GSX? If so the eclipse engine is mounted sideways, but the subaru engines are mounted belts forward.

Racer X 12-25-2003 01:24 AM

I was talking about the mazda pickup from back in the day.I've been told that the FC has a removable bellhousing by a very reliable source.

The turbo FC does. Im pretty sure the N/A doesnt have a removable bellhousing.

rx-7Drifter 12-25-2003 01:04 PM

yes i was talking about a eclipse gsx. i know it is sideways, but it can be done. im prettysure.

Jeff20B 12-25-2003 03:57 PM

I would love to put my RX-2 engine into an AWD car. Failing AWD, than some sort of wrong wheel drive car (just to see the look on my face when I get it done lol).
