Very True, A shop in Toronto has a 20B PP turbo motor in their FC and he drives it everyday, through the drive thru and everything. PP's are definatly streetable.

 

who are you god you are the end all info source

dude ive had a 255 hp na for 10 years
it has been to so many races i cant belive it
it did 142.23 at willow springs last week the motor is 9 years and 8 months old and has 30,000 miles of track time
but thats not very dependable i guess
and its a STREET PORT . blue printed ballanced and made to flow
and yes im the loudest car there



the only thing closed is a mind
why are you a member of this forum ?
13bs suck they dont make any power and no one wants to build a rx-7 or can build a rx-7 , and besides no one here cares what you think
unless its constructive , sit on your hands
im here to learn have fun and meet cool people
not be bashed for an old idea that might be a challange to work on
if youd like ill start a new thread 101 reasons why awd 7s are no good
there you can be happy and feel better

this thread says any awd 7 tips
not do you think its a good idea

 

I was just wondering if havign a awd rx7 is that much better then just rwd. cause everyone goes on about how the evo and sti r sooo sik cause there awd....i just wondering how much difference it makes from rwd. sorry if i sound dumb ^_^

 

i never had one
and im sure my friend hasent
an awd car is different and has pros and cons
and may not be faster
but i might like to see
i sure like the rod millen cars
but im a rwd man i like to slide out and drive with the gas

but we are talking a dirt car here not street
and its hard to keep my tires from spinning so
awd ?

 

Jeez, is this crap still going?A 4WD RX-7 does not take any open-mindedness or imagination because it's been done before. It's been done very successfully by professionals who had the skills, knowledge, experience and cash to make it happen. It has never been done by anyone who had to ask an internet forum how to do it, and I doubt it ever will be (that includes your mate).

 

Thank you NZ...

Go ahead Mr cooldude and build your AWD FC... Now that I'm in full "hater" mode, I'm officially calling your bluff... You successfully build one and I got $50 in Paypal with your name on it... But then again, if you got the funds to build such a car, $50 really isn't **** to you is it?

Quit running your mouth and prove it already...

 

ill agree to that

but you never know who you will be in a few years
when i got my second 7 a na base

it got it to put the motor in a truck

didnt hapen ( its the car in the avatar )

ten years later i put a TII in a B2200 for fun
and i asked in forums like this for a while and
just like this
everyone said "what a joke " "wont work "
but it had been done prior
and it was by a pro

so i did it

i dont want a awd car
but i defent the right for someone to dream explore and learn
and make a future for themself
im sure you do too

 

nz is not defending you
he stated reality

you need to go back and read the thread
i dont want to spend money on a awd car
but id like to see one built
id like to know how it was done

and your right
sorry your a hater now

 

I never said he was defending anyone. Just stating the reality, which apparently you aren't familiar with. If you or your friend had the skills to undertake such a project, you wouldn't be here asking people a damn thing. I'm always down to experience something new, but if someone comes in asking about AWD FC's as if they had no clue to their existance, how am I supposed to believe they have what it takes to do it? That's why I said prove it. You don't want anyone's opinions. You just want someone to tell you how to build one, which doesn't prove a damn thing to me regarding your skills or determination. Figure it out genius, since you wanna act like one...

 

Good for you, but dropping a 13BT into a B2200 is child's play compared to creating a 4WD FC. If someone started a thread about doing that engine swap I'd be a lot more inclined to believe it might actually happen one day compared to this thread. That's the big difference.

 

So where exactly can we find a dyno graph of this alleged 255hp N/A with only a street port?

 

the problem it oppisite
and unfortunate

i know all about the history of these cars
i know rod millens cars used a 626 for front drive parts
but
the problem is
i want more info
and you dont know

right

other posters gave good info and links
did the best they could
left me to do the research
i found what i wanted here about rally springs and ride height
but you just found out i think hate is unconstructive
if this is such a problem for any one
ask the mods to post a awd fact so it can be found and learnd from

intelligence is the ability to learn
not be all knowing


so ill go elsewhere for info because as nz said

only pros with time and money can do such work
and they dont hang out here

 

You don't know the history that well... The only 626 parts used where the front uprights. In case you forgot, FWD 626's used tranverse engines. There would be no front-drive parts suitable for a 4WD conversion even if there were strong enough, which I doubt.

 

hey a awd mazda rx7 are fun to drive

 

Hey look at Rob Dahm. With a willingness to learn and deep pockets anything is possible, I guess. He was told the 4 rotor would never run IIRC.

 

Holy thread necromancy.

It was exciting at the time, yet appropriately to this thread, once the costs started adding up, the funds dried up. Car got to the point of a FC diff mounted and all of the floor cut out to accommodate the drivetrain. The whole bottom of the car was being rebuilt with a tube frame.
