How long would a 450 WHP rx7 last with regular driving / daily driving.
Driving it hard a few nights a week, with proper maintanence, ie flush all fluids and oil change every 1500 kilometers or so???

Can it still last a good year or two
or when you have that much power can you only drive it ONCE and a while... then after a few months it blows and you have to do it all over again.
so many people here have highly modified vehicles, however won't they go at any time??

 

You will have a VERY hard time Daily driving 450rwhp.

Trust me with 350 rwhp you have enough to keep you happy until you are old enough to have reasonable insurance premiums.

 

Get something less powerful for DD?

 

Yah if you have money to make a 450whp FD(reliably), then you may as well get a DD. :/

 

^

Only 18 year old who I know of with 450 rwhp who lived was Fernando Alonso.....

 

I'm not implying I will drive it daily.
I'm using that as an example as to reguards of how long that kind of power would last in a rotary??

I am not giong to modify any vehicle that much.
However As it stands would one last for a while??
can a rotary even safely handle that much??


It seems they can hardle handle 255 hp in a 1.3 litre form
but 500???

 

honestly if you drive it sensibly and stay out of boost for the most part, i don't see why it couldn't last for a long time?

still, i wouldn't be wanting to put miles on something i had so much money invested in.

 

You're confusing rwhp and engine hp.

You can always get the stroker kit and run it in 1.5 litre form

 

LOL... is that with the kit From Tomei that has wide rotors and housings?

 

if your racing it! why would you m ake ur car 500 hp if you dont floor it from time to time.

I'm just thinking that the second you floor it to redline the engine will blow
can someone plz explain this isn't true to take my ease off.

 

463 whp driven every weekend since last october snd still running!

 

With proper tuning AND FUEL, it should last quite a while. Use the SEARCH function! CLOSED.
