RB25det Transplant in FD
#26
You will be disappointed if you have to sell it in the near future, it's almost impossible to even get close to what you put into it. Cool swap though, I miss the sound of a turbo at times.

I already know that I probably won't get what I put into it and that's one reason I won't put it up for sale but if someone ever offers me a price that make me smile and jump for joy then hell yea I'll sell haha

A few years ago when I first started this project it was a little difficult getting parts but now it's easier to find.

that is awesome... i love it when people bridge the gap on just making things work... i love it when someone takes something out of one thing and puts it in something else and making it a beast... great job

There is nothing wrong with an ls swap. It is the same thing as going with an rb. if your taking out the rotary to put a piston engine it dosent matter if its a I6 v8 or even an I4 still a piston engine. I love the rotary but im not a millionare to spend 2k in parts every time the rotary decides to get messed up. The rotary is great i had 3 engines in my second gen but anything over stock power and they dont last long. I had an n/a with 246k on it and ran strong till i boosted it. Im keeping my ls stock with 365tq dont need much else.

Hello everyone, My name is Raz. Firstly I would like to say that I bought my FD with intentions of building a fire breathing dragon lol. I love to sound of the rotary and would still have it in my car if I knew how to work with that motor. I did try working on it with the help of my brother and a friend but after two blown motors I decided to go to a professional. The quote I got was not reasonable and I decided on a transplant. The build is coming along fine but slowly.
Good luck with the build.
