Ok disagreeing is one thing, but come on that entire reply was complete BS.
I dont think i would do the swap. If i wanted a piston engine car i would have bought one. I picked rotary for a reason. But none the less you are doing a good job and its what you want i personally wouldnt do it.

Here I go again... This Guy here building this Fd into a V8 is a pure looser. I feel upset over looser like you that cannot put together a reliable rotary engine. This V8 into a beautiful FD like that, is a pure insult to die hard rotary engine and Rx7 enthusiast like me and many others in this forum. The hole concept of the Rx7 is specifically that! Do you know what the X in Rx 7 stands for? it stands for Experimental. You take a very unique car and trash it with this V8 garbage. I don't care if you tell me is your car and theres different strokes for different folks. Your destroying the true meaning of the Rx7. I would suggest for you to take the time your putting into this mutation that your doing, and read up a little more into engine rebuilding and tunning. Your a looser and your always going to be a looser in my opinion. I dislike people like you. wanna BEEEss.. Piece of crap V8. there is no motor in the world that could make more horse power per cubic inch, then a freaking rotary engine. why would you insult people like us with this mutation? I hope you loose a freaking connecting rod and your motor blows to pieces.
RX-7, rotary experimental-7....
i do not get so upset with the idea, but i can understand* ito's disgust. he is purely a builder and tuner of the rotary, or to put it plainly, he lives them......
i like the sound of my friend ray's 432 stroked ws-6, and he runs 10.40's at 130~...not too bad, but a rotary is an exceptional weapon, and when harvested and reaped to its full potential, will yield the same results as a V-8.....
and just for the records, the ls-1 that is in all the 98-up f-bodies, trucks, and the like, have poor valve train configuration. my friend mike [big boy] just blew his 3rd motor in a 2k1 ws-6. ray is on motor 2 and my friends steven and reed AND sean are all rebuilding ss camaro motors due to some sort of bullshit valve train issue...
ilovemyrx7.....

And if I take it personal, well I take mutations like this personal. 94 touring your a sell out.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but before you share your "opinion" you should really know what you're talking about. My car *was* about maxed-out as far as the 13B-REW is concerned. You name the part, I had it. I was running arguably the best turbo setup on the market with all the best bolt-on parts. There really wasn't anywhere else to go with the car. Hence the decision to try something new, and God forbid, different.
Sadly, most of the "haters" who like to put down projects like this have never, and will never, have a car that is even worthy of discussion. I've been inside and out the rotary engine for all it's worth and the people who had the opportunity to buy some of my parts will benefit from them. I'm still yet to see one person who knows anything about performance automobiles, regardless of powerplant, have one negative thing to say about it. It's usually the teenagers who have been slobbering over an rx7 since they had a learner's permit but can't scrounge up enough tips to actually buy one, that have all the above-displayed close-minded "opinions" (if you even want to call them that).
But I asked for people to share their thoughts and I got what I asked for.
