Guys... seems like a decent amount of people are asking us to convert there FD's to Piston power. If your thinking about doing this swap give us a ring or stop by the shop and we can show you and discuss different options!
... heres a small video of a LS1 Powered FD that we did at the shop. sounds nice and we buillt it to 500HP. The video is not the greatest but you can get the idea! We will have more vids soon.
wooooot
that sounds like sex.... very nice job, if u guys ever take it to the drag, make sure to post ur quarter mile times, i would also like to c more vids. keep up the good work

Your #1 source for GT series turbos for your Rotary.
In house Dynojet services (1500hp with load control).
if we had all the parts, the engine, the car....what type of price would people be looking at for the conversion. im sure it would be competitive with hinsons right? 9k for the conversion seems outrageous to me. great looking and sounding car though! awesome job!
beautiful stuff.
nice to see your shop is supporting these swaps and using quality craftmanship.
props.

I've been for a ride in this car. Pretty impressive. The exhaust sound in the video doesn't quite do it justice. Its really loud! The whole car rattles with the exhaust note.
Anyone else thing that car is stupidly low lol? Is it not tucking at all? I don't know, maybe it's the kit that is giving me the illusion of it being really really low. By the way, what kit is that, I like it.
Love the video/sound of the car. What did you do to get the 500? What mods etc.
This morning I heard a car driving up Van Ness Ave in SF that sounded like TORQUE. It was an LS-series engine, so I turned to see what kind of Corvette it was. When I looked it was a Montego Blue FD.
The sound and thought of an LS1 in my FD stuck with me for the next hour at work.
And how the driver didn't have to rev the engine to accelerate up the street from a dead stop....
Having owned half-a-dozen Cadillacs - including two 500ci Coupe DeVilles - Im used to IMMEDIATE TORQUE, and I love my FD, but it's frustrating waiting til 3000 to feel like Im driving a fast car.
LS1 Rx-7s are tons of fun. (I just finished my swapped FC) I may be at the shop dynoing with some Neon friends this Saturday, do you have any Boingin' 7s at the shop right now to check out?
