Anyone ever just deicided to go 13b NA on their FD.
Seems like you could solve a lot of the reliability problems if you dropped in a ported NA 13b and did away with all the turbos intercoolers, etc. Of course power would be a lot less but you'd have a reliable car that handled well and would go 200k easily if cared for.
|
But being turbocharged is what makes the FD fun!
|
Not a common thing. We like horsepower. ;)
|
do it, tell us how it is.
|
it's funny how most NA rx7s sound like they have v8's in them... they're not that slow for an NA rotary either, but they are rather reliable and get decent gas milage...
still though, they always sound like v8s! |
seriously, people who even think about doing this are complete morons. GO BUY A HONDA!!!!!!!!!
|
I thought it was a cool idea. Get a jacked FD and have a carb'd 13B setup. As long as its rotary, its all good in my book.
|
why dont you just go 3rotor n/a?

https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=71775 Look how clean it looks! It would probably run forever! It wouldn't be all that hard to get some decent power out of it. |
N/A are pretty hard to get decent power out of. The most you are going to get from a 13B N/A is ~300 and thats witha PP, which probably wouldn't be very streetable and absolute shit gas mileage.

Maybe a renesis would be a good option, with an open exhaust and an ECU they are making decent power. Also no N/A rotary motors would drop into an FD. It would take some custom work because no one does this. |
how bout an N/A 4 rotor? Scoots is very nice... :)

This thread is ridiculous.
Van, your new sig kicks ass :bigthumb: |
i hate threads like this. do more research before you say such silly things.
i have a streetport, when my piping popped off and i had no boost, it was the slowest mother in the world for those 2 minutes. you'd need a monster port, monster gas eater to get an n/a to go fast. 3 rotor may not be too bad.... but, why the hell would you want a slow, reliable, 2 seater? doesnt that defeat the purpose??? |

This thread is obviously made from a NON-owner's POV and a result of "rotary scare tactics" that keep most away.
My car's not a bomb waiting to go Off. I'd rather enjoy a stock or modified FD for 70-whatever thousand miles than 200k as a sloth. Goodness. |
ive had a FD with the turbos not working, and it felt too slow for that chassis. civic swaps beat na FD's. some would argue that if you had over 250whp NA pp or a 3 rotor, its fine..
the NA FD was my dream car at one point. if its legal where u live, do it...high comp, 4 port NA's are the best! if not then just buy a FC. the FD is over engineered for sub 240 hp. the FC is pretty over engineered for 180-210hp. go for it, but don't expect most fd owners to agree. theyre a breed unto their own. the rx8 is a NA rotary with FDish suspension. cheap as dirt, too. |
Why the hell would you bump a TEN YEAR OLD THREAD for such an ultimately useless post?

I too love those videos. But the main talking point of this thread was to build a realiable good on gas NA FD. Not an all out balls to the wall PP NA FD. :lol:
IF someone was so inclined to go the NA route... its possible to still have a fun car . But well ... I like my tiny snails .. so I'll pass . |

That's also not really what I would call a "RX7". It's a tube frame car with a RX7 looking top on it. That's completely different than making a street RX7 NA.
