hey everyone i am looking into doing this conversion ino my S4 rx7..

on FC3S.org they mentioned that the front sway bar could not be used.. is this true and what do I do???

how does the car handle with the extra weight of the 20B in the front???

I'm very interested to know.. moreso as a reference as the car is prodominantly setup for Street and strip work...

hope you guys can help me... as Here in Australia it isn't a very common conversion at all...

 

I recall reading someones post a while back that stated that after doing some weight reduction there car weighed very close to what it did with its stock motor in it.

You have to get a custom anti-sway bar made

And this isnt a very common conversion anywhere..

 

what sort of places do custom swaybars??

I'm doing the weight reduction anyway so I think i'm on the right path..

 

The stock bar won't clear the motor.

With a custom bar, Ground Control coilovers, Tokico Illuminas, and 17 x 10 wheels on the back, the car handles beautifully. No understeer, no oversteer--just go where you want to go as fast as you can.

My car is set up for street and road course (no drag racing).

I don't know about Australia. IIRC, Peter Farrell's brother, in New Zealand, has done at least one conversion.

 

my s4 fc wieghs 2860lbs with the 20b in it. no ac no ps but its othwe wise stock

you can use the stock antiswaybar if you:

A) Make custom mounting tabs for it and move it forward about 6 inches

B) Use a custom oil pan with a relocated oil pickup.

C) Go dry sump and remove the oil pan (replace it with a blockoff plate)
