Another V8 RX7!!

Hey all,
My name is Jordan.

I had a 2004 Pontiac GTO, but I always wanted a FD. I sold the GTO, and decided to build a budget 5.3 swap. For this season, and probably the next, I will be running pretty much stock 5.3 with a pretty generous shot of nitrous. My goal is go to go single turbo 5.3.

1993 Mazda RX7 5.3/t56 swap.

I have a 1993 Mazda RX7 that I am going to put a stock 5.3 with t56, and just spray the **** out of the car. I will continue to post more pictures of the build up, and keep you guys informed!

What are you doing to the rear end to keep in from self destructing? Are you using one of the LS swap kits? Looks like an awesome project!

While I'm more of a 1st gen rotary guy, I know that's a damn good motor. My suburban has one. More power to ya.

Great swap! Looks like a clean FD. I can't wait to see what this thing will run on spray alone.

My Nozzle can only do up to 175hp, so that is what I am going to spray then.
