a twin turbo rotory FC RX-7 that came that way from the factory?

 

not that i have ever hurd of

 

factory tt fc? not in north america.. highly doubt in japan either..

 

I don't think so...

 

why doesnt anyone ever put the fd engine in the fc and keep the stock twins in it too? i know you would have to use all the drivetrian as well from the fd, but why hasnt anyone tried it?to hard?

 

It's very expensive. See the "FAQ" post at the top of the forum.

 

expensive, yep

*straps up flame suit* i hear those FD engines are a bitch to maintain too..

 

There was never a twin-turbo FC sold to the public anywhere in the world.

But there was bound to have been a few FC's used by Mazda as test mules when developing the FD engine. I doubt they still exist though.

The FD RX-7 engine is a difficult swap into the FC. But the very similar 13B twin-turbo used in the JC Cosmo is much easier to fit. There's a few of those around.

 

actually from the factory Mazda made FC twin turbos, but they were all twin cam 16 valves per cylinder

 

Ha...?

 

Ha...? I don't think there were any FC's with non rotary engines from the factory :P

 

Then you're wrong. there WERE piston rx7's from the factory. in fact, check out www.pipercross.com. they have listings of applications for their air filters, and amongst those, are piston engines.

 

As Jason said, there were never production FCs with piston motors. Any company listing a filter for a FC in a piston application is incorrect, and simular to NOPI listing a timing belt for the FC.

However there were a couple of FC/747 test mules, built for both Mazda and Porsche with piston engines. These were never driven by the public though.

 

so does the TT exhaust manifold from a 13brew bolt on to a 13bt?

 

I would think so because they are the same size. unless the bolts are in a different place.

 

i was being a smartass.......

try one of these -> <- next time you do that..

 

Well I would guess, If your swapping in an engine why would you stay with Twins when you can just get a better single?
I understand the twins help with mid and high cause of diff size turbos,but why swap a whole engine for a couple more horse than what a Tii is putting out?

Dunno, My thoughts.

 

Because the twins come with the engine. A big single is big $$$. 250hp vs. 180-200hp is not a couple more... Plus it's a better base to build from. If you're going to buy another motor, why not buy the best you can?
