Hahahaha. This guy 90vert is funny. First off I'm not "swapping" anything I bought a SHELL meaning no drivetrain (engine/trans/driveshaft) so your argument in whole is really pointless because either way it would cost me about the same if not more to get a 13b turbo or not. Plus you obviously know nothing at all about modding a car because in order to get a 13b turbo to the same amour of power as my STOCK 5.0 I would have to upgrade the turbo and spend a sh*t load of money on a dyno tuning it to so itll last more than 2 passes. And still won't have anywhere near the reliability as my bone STOCK 5.0. So get off your dumbass high horse and go read a book or two about tuning before you try and comment on someone's thread. And please believe I know my piston motors as I am an ASE certified tech and also have worked with pro drift teams and actually have a few personal friends who are pro drifters. So of I don't know something they for sure doo. So just stop. Everytime you post you make yourself look even more dumb.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
Igot the motors and drivetrain. In this weekend. Now all that's left to get her running is wire everything up and get an exhaust fabbed up!!

Tell all the RX8 guys that, robust lol. My friend, along with many other RX8 guys are on their second engine..... under warranty! lol robust.
I've never had a "piston" engine in my FC and I'm on motor number 6 because I've been through 5 "robust" rotary engines. Yes, they're cool engines but even a complete retard like YOURSELF has to admit they have lots of issues which motors like, oh, I dunno, a 302 don't have.
This is RX7Club, not Rotary **** Lovers Club. If anyone should get out it's trolls like you which will obviously never happen. 302fc is doing a good swap into a good chassis to have some great fun and you can't seem to get the blown apex seal out of your *** and enjoy that fact. Fail.

I think you are way off and exaggerating on problems with the Renesis engine. I won't even comment on the rest. There is nothing wrong with wanting to keep the car as it was from the factory. Thousands of classic car owners do the same and keep the original engine and don't ruin the car with an LS1 or 5.0.

This guy is as bad as VW fab boys. First off have fun throwing an REW in an fc. Second off, the renesis engine with tranny would prolly be 3-4 times more costly than his 302 swap. It's a drift car, it's going to smash into things.
Yeah, rx7's are classics, but are far from rare. Mazda built like close to 500,000 of them for the US alone

150k of them being FC's, so they are not rare. So quit trying to prove an irrelevant point. He didn't ruin his car, an LSX, 302, SR20, 1Jz or RB swap will prolly walk the track, with your ragtop NA **** anyway.
Do you even really have a car, or are you some trailer junky fanboy who doesn't know shut from apple butter and gets all the info they know from wiki?

90vert wont acknowledge that. He's probably on his first fc and hasn't even slid the ****** with any kind of countersteer or knows how involved any kind of swap is. Even a 13bt. He's one of "those" guys. You know, the ones the drift section was created to keep out? Rx7club drift section=no rotards allowed.

There are some fc owners in st. louis who made motormounts and did v8 swap in their garage, and it works... ohhhh weeellddinggg!!
anyways, my opinion:
2 rotor until it blows up
v8 because its loud, torquey, inexpensive and loud
3 rotor because you've something to prove
If you want to drift and not worry, v8 doesnt matter the car, FD proves that :O

what im saying is that torue is good in a v8 too, but cheaper than a 3 rotor... and im saying that you can easily make your own motormounts and swap in a v8 in your garage, its really easiy to do the v8 swap in fc (obviously you can also buy motormounts)..

any updates on this build??? pics please! let's keep this on topic>>> 302FC's BUILD.. no hate thread...
look, i'm definitely one for keeping a rotary... but everyone has their take... if you want to talk **** on someone's thread, do it to their face.. anyone can sit behind their keyboard, e-thuggin' all they want.. be a man and do it in person, but keep that **** out of my forum or you'll be banned.. i promise!! >>especially you 90VERT, since you started the stank<< yo, all my cars have rotaries.. but v8 is a logical solution for some people.. especially if there aren't any good rotary tuners local.. which is the case in about 80% of the US!! ahahaa
to each their own.. so keep your negative comments to yourself, otherwise i'll just delete your post, cuz that ***** not gonna slide..

this is a drifting sub-forum.. it's about drifting.. not being a purist.. we appreciate your enthusiasm for Rx7's but please keep it on topic..

LOL...you guys are too funny. Yes this is my first Rx7 and only has the stock h.p. which I will work on but I will stay rotary instead of ruining the car. Unlike yours mine will not only be an FC but an Rx7 so once again I am still wondering what you are doing on an Rx7 forum. If it were my forum I would delete your posts drifting or not.
Back to the build at hand, 302FC, I didn't catch it off hand, but are you using the later FI setup for this? Or the earlier speed density style? Also, I'm not quite sure of the differences.

i ended up pulling the wiring harness apart to try and find the short.. after a lot of testing and whatnot i found the problem to be within the pcm or EEC as ford calls it.. spent a week trying to find another one and finally got one yesterday.. hopefully ill get some time to work on the car tonight or tomorrow
