ok i found a fd for sale in my town. The guy is asking 6,800$ for the car,i called him up and went to look a t the car. the body is in good shape,good paint and such. But i was wondering why it was only 6800. Well it has a 4cylender turbo in it.....and if im correct witch i am thats not the right engine.....i have a 89 gtu if i bought the 93rx7 could i put my engine in it..insted of the 4cylender or will it be alot of trouble.........just wondering

and how much would the 13btt be to put that engine back in the car

Wtf?

damn, and i thought i heard it all

damn and this is why i stay the fuck away from this bord becuse i ask a q and get flamed right off the start well thank u. and later.......

ahhaha

dude you got 82 posts .. are you serious?

A 4cylender turbo? In a 7? Unless that person is a COMPLETE moron I would say that is wrong. Oh and you might as well leave the forum, you are about to get :flamed:

yes it is a 93rx7 that has been recked ond redone i was just wondering about the engine price........god damn do u people get off putting others down

Spellcheck anyone? :bigthumb:

i am just wondering on the price of and engine drop in like how much it will cost to do a full swap

Alright calm down. I would answer your question but since I have never seen a 4 banger in a 7 I can't answer you.

i do

PS post pics of it. im interested in this

ok the car is recked and redone not orignal......

yes, you should leave the fourm and stay far away from a -7- ;) j/k..


post pics!!

i did not get picks of the car as i only seen it 4 about5-6min at lunch to day as i said it is not the orginal engine and the guy said that

Well, not knowing you or how car saavy you are, I'd have to questions like: (not meant to insult..)
- Are you certain that it was a 4 cylinder? If you just counted plug wires, rotaries have 4 also.
- Did you see another manufacturer's name on the engine somewhere like valve cover? What engine is it?

If it IS in fact some 4 cylinder, it's probably got a different transmission in it also. Even if it didn't, no you couldn't put your 2nd gen engine in it. The computer wouldn't work correctly, the engine mounts differently and you wouldn't be heading in the right direction.

I have to believe that someone probably didn't go through the trouble to swap engines like that and install a POS. I've seen a few nice looking 4-cyl swaps posted to the board here.. and they wound up making ~350-400 rwhp..

You need to get (or post) more information.

Stay away from it.

Wrecked and redone sounds bad to me unless he can show you some of the documentation of the repairs, like pics.

I have seen a 4cyl turbo in a FD, many people on this board have, SR20DET I believe. I wouldn't think that was a really good idea either. Go V8 or stick with the stock motor.

Your 89 GTU motor is much different that the stock 13b-rew, with modification it would fit but you'll have a ~160hp vs the original ~255hp motor. Mods help the 13b-rew much more than mods help your 89 NA motor, they aren't in the same ball park HP wise.

There, that was a good reply right?

oooo and my fc has a 350 in it with supercharger/blower im a red neck and my cars name is tulooooooolala

so you saw the car for 5-6 min and didnt bother to look at the engine bay? if you did, is it hard enough to determine between a piston and a rotary engine?

ok lets say you didnt get a chance to look at the engine, you quickly walked around the car. the guy says it has a 4cly engine, that right there shows what a moron he is.. even if its true, why the hell would you put a "4" cyl engine in there?

idk, this car/owner seems all rashed like a disease..

yes and thank u turbojeff

i did see the engine and it was a 4cylender

god i have a rx7 and it has a rotery

ok and how much would it costt to get the 13b-rew back in the car

dude learn to spell. its ROTARY. and CYLINDER.

so then why make this thread if you know rx7s have rotarys?

it seems like you're almost doubting yourself in your question. well making this thread shows that you are unsure about what engine goes into where.

so you did see the engine, what is it? which one?

and yeah you can drop your 13b in there, you can do pretty much anything, you do see a 4cyl in an fd right? there you go..

im not trying to be a dick, its just common sense over here..
