Hello, New guy from ON CND... Never owned an RX-7 but I plan on it with in the next 2-4 weeks. I have always been a Nissan guy but clean S13's are few and far between and I have always admired the RX-7. ....Anyway's getting to the point, I'm searching for the perfect donor car for my RB25 swap and any information I can get/gather about this, as I'm sure some one has been down this road and did it right, would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Brandon.

 

Welcome, Brandon!

There have been a few RB25 swaps done on here, but they aren't too common. Based on your sig, it looks like you are planning on using an FC for the swap, correct?

thanks and yes ill be using the FC as they are easier to find as a roller in good shape.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Cool. I look forward to seeing how the Nissan power plant works with the FC chassi. . . The one main drawback I could think of is what your weight distribution will be like with that heavy I6.

 

Welcome. The FD sure is an eye catcher!

 

going to set the motor further back into the chassis and modify the firewall to help correct weight issue better along with a good suspension set up with a 4 corner balance and alignment should be enough to make up for the minor inconvenience. alot of hard work and broken knuckles will be worth it i hope. and on a side note i found a jdm FD with very low compression and a decent price so i may end up grabbing it. going to see it this friday.

 

I want to say that i saw a 2nd gen at Daytona Chumpcar that has a L28 Nissan straight six in it, and it ran alright...

 

Hey New Guy Brandon...
I'm new girl Liz, also from Ontario. Did you get that RX7??
p.s. what's an FC and why do you need it for your RB25 swap?

 

fc is the chassis 2nd generation and rb25 is a inline 6 turbo motor nissan makes.
