MY 13B-RE Fd single turbo build(standing up for the Rotary) lots of pics
In the midst of a world of RX-7's with V8's, im standing my ground and keeping my swap Rotary. Thats the point of owning an RX-7, because of its unique motor and body design.
Although i have thought bout the V8 swap(ls2 swap), espcially after riding in my friends LS1 fc(making 468 to the wheels). I love rotaries to much to do that.
dont get me wrong, V8 RX's are fun and fast. but Rotary= PURE AWSOME.
so here we go.
My plan is build a Great FD that is track ready, yet streetable and looks great.
I plan on tracking the FD atleast 2 times a month. I want to prove to People that Rotaries are as, if not more Reliable than piston motors.
Goal is to make 380hp at 11-13psi.
The Chasis: 93 FD3S Base model. Silver with black interior. no sun roof. 90k miles on the chasis. Tokico whites with neuspeed springs.
the Chasis has been sitting since 2000. close to 10yrs.....
I plan on painting the car a purple. still have not decided what shade to go with yet.
The break down of my Set up:
of what i have and what im going to get.
Fuel set up:
Turbo set up:
Exhaust Set up:
Oil cooling:
i plan on running upgraded oilcoolers, SS lines with the proper ducting,
still not sure what brand to get.
Intercooler set up:
Managements Ecu, boost:
Chasis:
Wheels and suspension:
im still not sure what coilover set i should get...
wheels i plan on getting
SSR Proffesor sp1's
17x10.5 front
17x11.5 rear
still unsure on the off set and tire size..
Interior:
I know im still missing a lot of stuff, but heres some pics.. enjoy.
Any and all criticism is welcome.
dropping off the parts to get cleaned and assembled by Lucky 7 Racing in Duarte CA.
Painted motor
Lapped Iron
Painted rotor housings
Painted block
