fd long block and drivetrain

SHU

k seriously dude. search.

https://www.rx7club.com/search.php?searchid=4817157

read through those that is a good start

FB_drifter_X 02-23-08 08:54 PM

yea thanx i shoulda done that but i didnt... the first write up is extremely helpful but would all the wiring be necessary if i have a single turbo conversion with a pfc??

djessence 02-23-08 08:59 PM

sorry im not a turbo guy (yet or for a bit) soooo whats pfc and then i might be able to help lol.

Are you saying ATM you have a single turbo annd wanna upgrade to twin turbo or if you just wanted to do single turbo and not the REW? Cuz the 13B T (TII) still chucks out some good power.

Alot of the things with the rew and even to some extent with the T2, is that you will need to upgrade suspension, brakes, potentially drivetrain/rear end, so price keeps climbing

FB_drifter_X 02-23-08 09:12 PM

pfc= power f.c and i was wondering about the complete fd rear end suspension set up and all... but that is a lil far fetched i might jus try and put a tII in it because there seems to be alot of people doing it so odds are there is alot of info... i am looking for about 400 horses to the ground... as reliable as possible

djessence 02-23-08 09:17 PM

I would think a TII swap would be easier, cheaper, potentially more reliable

Ive got a buddy, all he did was stand alone engine management (haltek i think) and hes got 252 HP(at 10psi) . Edit on a TII engine with racing beat exhaust

So you do an aftermarket turbo, with the stand alone, front mount IC run maybe 15 psi boost and you are probably getting decently close to 350 ish?.

if you have to ask, that swap is not for you

z-beater 02-23-08 09:55 PM

Keep your stock motor in it, upgrade the suspension/brakes/body/wheels first.

djessence 02-23-08 10:00 PM

xlr8planet, you may have a point

djessence 02-23-08 10:02 PM

And maybe its because ive been on forums all day and its frying my brain from reading some seriously stupid posts. But i am still missing wtf is a pfc/power f.c?

like fc with power options or.......?

Can someone spell it out for me cuz clearly i missed something.

Experiment.Seven 02-23-08 10:06 PM

Power FC is a engine management system.

I saw ONE fb with fd rear end. Not for the average joe

a stock FD is not exactly reliable, a 400 13b-rew .... do the math

Cīmon, stop day dreaming

As much as i hate to say it, reliability + ease of 400 = v8

These thread are useless until the person does their homework and already has their suspension, steering, and brakes upgraded as well. You want to go fast in a straight line? Buy a Ford Mudstain.

Then here is our statement to you:

Shape up, comments such as these are on the easy road to banning. No one here is a jackass, we get questions/threads like these ALL THE TIME. This is the main reason everyone puts their modifications in their sig, but I put SEARCH BUTTON. Any/all questions can/will be answered by the search button.

You are just a stupid kid behind a keyboard wasting everyones time with questions about something you will NEVER do. Just check your screen name. You are just another dumbass who thinks "hey, I got RWD, I`m a super drifter, I will get on the internet and make my dreams come true". Life is not an anime. You will probably end up in a light pole or a ditch. Lets hope the fiberglass is strong on that "widebody" kit you will never get. Yeah, you will probably never get it. Wanna know why? Because getting a widebody to fit properly is EXPENSIVE.

The same stupid question is asked at least twice a week "How can I get XXX (big numbers) HP out of my car??? Oh, and I dont have any money to invest"

If you have to ask, you dont even know how to search. If you dont even know how to search, a swap is not for you. Hell, maybe this forum is not for you.

"I guess there are no stupid questions, just stupid people"

If we were face to face you would never dare to call me a jack ass.

FB_drifter_X 02-25-08 09:15 AM

um well to you xlr8planet you can suck my ass till my throat caves in... you have no idea who i am and fyi we have a completely clear parking lot no light poles or anything owned by my family that is used for drifting i am not another dumbass who gets out and drifts the open road so basically u are a jackass for assuming such stupid shit... as for not calling you a jackass in person you are completely wrong as i would call you a jackass in person... so yea i would dare to call you a jackass in person... and yea i probably wont get that widebody for my fb being that i dont have it anymore and have moved up to a TII... as for the searching part i will admit that yea i should have done my homework and searched a little bit my bad... but that still is no reason for people to be jackasses k bye

-xlr8planet- 02-25-08 09:23 AM

MAD TIGHT JDM YO, DRIFTZZZ!!!!!

ChEcK oUt My SuPeR JdM Fb!

Keep writing Junior, you look more and more stupid every day.

We are all "macho" behind a keyboard. Dare to call me jackass in person this year at Sevenstock and see what happens.

GTFO, you are a waste of bandwith

-xlr8planet- 02-25-08 09:35 AM

Now that you moved to the Second Gen forum (you are now their problem), I want to show the rest of the First Gen guys "why you are so special"
