Kinda playing with my curiousity and I have seen it done before. Are there any links with info on this or has anyone done it that can give me their opinion?

Thanks
Jeff

 

i made another post earlier with pictures and a link to an article on it.. SP engineering can do it, but it will cost you an arm and a leg.

 

Turbo magazine Dec issue has a RX-7 with a Supra TT motor in it. It looks to be price but if you have the money I would do it.

 

Anybody that does that conversion would end up with the second most difficult car in the world to take in for servicing. Nobody would know what the hell to do with it. The only thing worse I could think of would be putting a rotary engine into the Supra.

 

if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

 

Just wait a while, maybe Jim Labreck will do one.:p

 

LMAO! yeah, hell buy the supra engine and subframe, then change his mind and sell all the parts 3 days after he buys 'em.

LOL!

 

The supra motor in a FD is so lame!! C'mon guys, the newest thing is to have a whole skyline drivetrain installed in your FD!! I love the old "hot rod" inginuity of engine swaps, and I can see maybe going to a 3 rotor or something, but c'mon guys when will it end. Not to start a flame war(because I know the whole engine swap/v8 thing always does) and I love my FD, but that is alot of money to through in a FD. You aren't exactly going to do it for 2 g's..

 

BLASPHEMY! go beat yourself with a sack full of doorknobs just for pondering that horrible, horrible thought.

 

Doing the Supra swap will more than likely ruin the handeling also, right?

 

Why on earth would you ever want to swap a piston for your Rotor?

 

yeah, I would think that the Supra engine is not only physically larger, but a good deal heavier.

say good-bye to that beautiful 50/50 weight distribution that the RX-7 was blessed with.

as someone else mentioned, it would ruin the handling...well, maybe not ruin it, but with more weight on the fronts, you may be more likely to loose the *** much more often.

 

About the steering thing, probably wouldnt matter too much if you were just doing a straight line. It seems that the people that built it only want to do stright lines for they put drag shocks in the back.
