the guy lives in FL. an sr20det in an fd would make the ultimate car! i sweat this guys project. a reliable motor in an rx7 is a novel idea at least, right? what do y'all think? |
damn! sorry.
hopefully the photo will be up soon... |
I thought the "Photo Not Available due to Maintenance"
was the Joke!! HAHAAAA! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png |
ok thats a lot of work, to lose hp....
mike |
|
i know you guys love your rotors, but don't you even kind of like the idea.
this guys not losing any hp. he has mad chedda' a few months ago i also saw pics of a guy that had a 13b turbo in a 92 240. it was cool. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png |
oh so he's just exchangin motors? thats cool
mike |
no sorry. these guys do not know each other.
i was just saying that i could appreciate a 13b in a 240 and was wondering why this pic meets with such close-minded anger... |
http://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.ph...&highlight=sr20
Here's the whole story including pic's of how he's doing it.. |
no anger in my point of view s13..
just disappointed... rotaries are just a different breed imho and requires some preservation... an rx spells out rotary... if the industry is saturated with rotaries...my opinion will vary... |

and imo..
as your subject title implies.... i surely doubt an rx7 guy sees the light... if the light equates to removing its unique powerplant... |
what a waste of time and money, i wonder what that tall motor does to the CG?
|
im the one who bought his old mtor. Thats Shaun Torrente of NRG Perforance in tallahasse.. cool guy.. he is a true speed addict.. pretty car..
Josh |
More like: "An Rx7 guy, sees the light and looses his sight!!!" WTF was he thinking, Sorry S13, you're my bro and all, but that's just wrong. When you take away the Doritos, an FD looses it's heart.
Can I get a moment of silence for that UN-BREAKABLE, and TOTALY RELIABLE FD. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif |
topic should read:
"guy with nissan motor realizes his nissan is ugly and finds the most beautiful car to slap his piston punching engine into, doing so kills the beauty of said car, children and adults mourn the loss of yet another true FD" kevin. |
that project is about as stupid as drag racing is https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif
******* moron....the time and money spent could have built a 20B with 400hp...very reliable |
whatever floats his boat. But why spend all that money for 400hp? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif stock engine could easily see that.

hey thats my boys car. his name is shaun and he owns a performance shop here in tallahassee called NRG or Upgrade depending on who you ask.. i just got back on my midtour from korea and took a look . all i can say is NICE. he is fitting the turbo right now and should have it running in about a week or two. i looked at his motor mounts and hes going solid mounts. i bet that fuckers gonna shake his fillings loose. he is going to do my 7 in a few weeks. No im not going with the nissan motor but am getting a rebuild done by crisspeed in miami and a single turbo w/ a haltech. all i can say is that this **** is gonna be cool because who else in the usa or **** in the world owns an rx-7 with a nissan motor in it?? i have never seen it. just on a side note i cant stand it when people get all retarded over the rotoray engine. im come on to say that its no longer and rx-7 because the engines changed is ******* narrow minded and from some one who lacks vision. maybe people should stop hating and take it for what it is. a unique car that no one else has.
|
i just noticed the why spend all that money question. well i know that he sold his old set up for a certin amount of money and now he has this one. all i can say is that he still hasnt spent half the cash he made on his old motor. it cost a lot less than you think. not only that he is a great mechanic and does all the work himself so labor is free and so is the construction of the motor mounts and any other custom things he needs to make it work. when you own your own shop and have the resources to do it. why wouldnt you?
|
I swear, I have alot of patience but when it comes to Rx7 mutations like this I loose my kool. Steve what the **** is your point in posting some garbage like this? If you don't like Rx7's or rotaries get the **** out of this forum. I apologize to the forum members and the owner of this website for my behavior, but I just cant stand **** like this.

If your asking why not do something like this when a person could do it. It's very simple Rx7's and the ROTARY ENGINE walk hand in hand. If your friend did not have the now how to build a reliable engine thats his freaking problem, he is a total looser in my opinion. I build rotary engines all day and guess what? they make crazy power and are super reliable. How does a 700rwhp 13B that gets abused all year at that horsepower level and its super reliable. I really hate people that jump on the band wagon. And if your going to tell me that your friend knows how to work on rotaries. Im going to say your full of ****. because if he did, he would be able to put together a reliable engine. Man I hate this ****....

For some reason I don't mind a project like this compared to Marvin Leckuthai 's "widebody super-show car" FD....
I think part of it is that an sr20det is still pretty rare here in the states. Somw of the mystique will be lost w/o the rotary, but I do like the idea of running higher boost https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Maybe it won't be as high as the supra-engine swap, but I'd like to see some performance #'s before calling it a waste.... I just hope that this project wasn't done so a shop can get some attention *cough* sp engineering *cough*... |
We've got FD's here running 19 psi on 89 octane gas...so that whole "high" boost thing is crap. However, I appreciate the work he's doing, even though I do not like the idea. I wouldn't spend money on putting an engine/transmission in that creates LESS horsepower than a rotary. Look at Ray Wilson's FD if you don't believe me....9.XXX in an FD with a/c and power steering with full interior...why take the heart of the RX-7 out and insert a pace maker?

No rotor no motor!!! :rant:

More like we get mad because the rx7 is unique due to its rotary engine. He took the uniqueness out of it and made it a regular old piston pusher.

ALL i can say is WEAK DUDE, SUPER WEAK. :squint: . biotch :rant: ..

i think its kinda cool...looks nicely done https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
just not something I would do... everyone who owns a rotary a non-conformist. trust me i see the "light"...but also have a strong enough belief in our own cars to stand up for them. |

i hope that piece of **** is dry sump, i have seen how tall sr20's are .....i also hope that it throws a rod on its first dyno run...i totally agree with Ito, Dragon & jspecracer7:
stupid people do stupid **** |
you might as well have Hewland makre a reverse rotation tranny ans put a honda in it, as for that supra7 conversion....they should be ******* lynched
P.S. Ito...for those comments, when i have the money you WILL get my business |
Damn sully, there's so much **** here from you, I really don't feel like reading it all.
Keep it short and simple, that way, people will care. |
sorry bro, my bad.
