Project rx7
 

This is going to be a project on building a fc rx7 with 850hp on on a budget. Will be some pictures included.

1. Pulled engine from junkyard $40
"the engine was in good shape but still doing a rebuild on it.

good luck...

must be people have different terms of on a budget.

umm yeah 850hp. better start looking at a 3 rotor 20b or some monster turbo with a crazy bridge ported 13b.

PP 13b REW or 20b ftw

bwahahaha, try again.

That is a lot of hp for a rotary. I have first hand seen what it takes to make 1000 hp on a 440 cubic inch engine, and it isn't easy. I know 850hp is a lot lower than 1000 but the engine is a heck of a lot smaller as well.

What exactly are your plans to reach your goal?

Well my plans for this engine is going to be going into a drift/street fc rx7. now I am thinking about going pp or jport or a bridgport, I still have next week to make up my mind on that. I do know it a lot of work but I have some good resources to make this happen.

You definitely don't need a wild setup for either of those. Street port and BNR hybrid turbo will do you just fine, about 300 hp. A P-Port or crazy bridge port will be a bitch on the street (2000 rpm idle and 4mpg FTL). Then again, a n/a P-port would be kind of cool in a drift car.

a budget?

Well the OP never specified a number, so for all we know he could be talking about a $100,000 budget, in which case 850 hp is certainly doable (an extra rotor or 2 and a turbo the size of a manhole cover should do the trick). :lol:

If you want to make 850HP with any sense of reliability for street use, then a 20B is your only reasonable option. You will spend far less money then if you had used a 13B when you consider all of the 13Bs and turbos you will blow trying to figure it out.

Have you ever sat in a 850hp car at any point in your life?

must be not. 850hp is definitely not a street car even if it is able to be street driven. i sat in a professional drag camaro one time while it was idling and that was AWESOME. 850hp should be left to the track.

I would have to agree i have been competitively drifting and auto-x my RX-7 sport na and while i do stand on the pedal its totally do-able with minimal hp, i am currently workin on a 6 port turbo, my point is you dont need massive hp to have a drift setup if im happy with 160 na youll be fine with 250-300hp turbo you dont need 850hp for your goal...

Let me show you what an 850hp car is. This is my uncles fox body it makes 850whp on spray it runs a 9.30 on this setup in the 1/4mi. Recently added another 100shot the car runs a 8.9 on the 3 speed trany.

If your thinking about building a 50,000$ car like this without the proper safety equipment required your an idiot.

yea they also drove their imports under trucks too!!! I would try that on my way home if my car was a 9 sec civic but its not. Its an 88 vert rx7.

lol
