So I was getting off work last night (friday) and Im a little tired and grouchy because being a salesman can get like that at times. So I get in my girls 91 mustang and start driving out of my parking lot and was getting onto the "strip" in which all the cars drive on and so Im in the process of making a right when all I hear is the ROARtry sound and turn my head real fast and saw a B-E-A-U-TIFUL Black Turbo2 S5 Rx7 (assumed s5 because of the tails) and my mouth dropped!

So Im trying to pull up next to him in this boat which was nearly impossible because he was flying! When I finally caught up to him, he assumed I wanted to race him and hes all down shifting and whatnot and Im trying to wave my hand for him to stop and he just nails it! When I say nails it, he nails it! At least I thought he did and the buster took off! Im like- "WOW my N/A is not gonna cut it unless I street port it and go all out!"

I finally get next to him and yell, "My motor blew month- I got a 87 GXL" he replies, "it happens!" and jetted off!

So I am getting my tax return this week and its hopefully going to be nice- nice enough to buy a motor! Im really interested in purchasing a T2 motor and go from there!

Im going to have about 1200 or so to play around with- should I rebuild and streetport my blown s4 motor? (coolant seal went out) Would I really be able to produce some numbers on the dyno with an N/A car as compared to a SEMI- modded T2?

I've jumping around but if there is a way to make 210 rwhp or more on a N/A- I will probably do that but if its gonna cost two arms and a leg? Is it really worth it?

Just felt like posting on here before I go to a friends house to watch UNC kick some BUTT!

Any comments- feel free Thanks People

 

dont think theres anyway your gonna make 210 hp with an na

best way is to go turbo but your budget might go a little over and thats if you do all your own work

 

gotcha- gotcha- even with a big street port? rb header with borla tips? emissions removed? lit

Well when it comes to the t2, it'll be my own work is my buddies shop, Mccurrys Performance, great friend huh?

 

i don't know if it's cheap or not, because i haven't looked into usual pricing on things, but at this site.
https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/can-i-turn-car-743158/page2/
they have a t2 motor with pretty much everything minus the ecu and wiring harness for $890 - s/h

it looked like a good deal.
or any of the tt motors for around $1200.

 

get a t2 motor... you spend a little more and the hp numbers really can be endless compared to a na

 

i was thinking that- grrrrr where should i get my t2 motor from? does anybody on here sell them with a rebuild and warranty?

neo drift- i did a search on them, not many good reviews!

 

well you can get a j spec motor from http://www.jdmtigerjapanese.com/inde...7rr7ogsfcn9f14 fairly cheap or in my opinion do it the right way starting fresh and get a rebuild from legit rotary shop like kevin from www.rotaryresurrection.com/ right in tennessee considering your in nc... food for thought...

 

haha damn dude i was lookin for this guy- someone told me about him and I lost the link to his site, thanks!

 

sorry, my bad, i meant to put up the jdm tiger link. ooops. or maybe you found that and checked it out.
if they are a bad place to go then i'll scratch my ideas of going there in the future for a t2 motor. cause i was planning on it eventually.

 

Neo- yeah man, the search feature on top is your best friend on the club! but check it out for yourself sometime, type in that name and see for yourself!

 

i didn't know info like that was on this site though. i never really thought about checking with other fc owners for good places to buy engines...
dang i'm a noob
it's nice to know now. noted for future reference
