1984 RX7 with automatic 2.8 V6 engine
hi, im a new user from the UK, i currently own a subaru impreza Turbo but am looking at starting a project on a 1984 RX7.
The car has a custom kit and a 2.8V6 engine with auto gearbox. Any idea's as to what top speed and 0-60 im likely to achive with this set up, i what if any disadvantages/advantages are with the 2.8V6.
i did try doing a search with no joy
cheers
Paul.

I'm sure you've got a lot of SD1 rover V8 engines lying around over there, it'd go a lot better with one of those in it.

If I am thinking right a vauxhall DOHC 4cly motor bolts up to that trans, and the mounts are close. I cant remember what model the engine is though, it was from the late 70s and ran dual webbers stock.

love the braaaap
A little search on Wikipedia shows that it is in fact the Cologne V6. Pretty much the same engine found in the 2.8 powered Bronco's and Rangers here in the US, although with a higher rated HP in the UK. in the US, its rated at about 90HP, while in the UK its anywhere between 130-160hp. Not a bad engine really.
