Sunday i picked up a 87 Turbo II.It has 97K miles on it and is in good condition for the year of it.The engine smokes but i was told it is just the turbo.I am selling the Motor/trans so PM me if you are interested.I bought it to do a swap and put some real power under the hood .Heres a few pictures of the car:



Then heres the soul leaving.

Then heres whats going in to replace the rotory.

 

Real power huh? Let me know when your done, ill do some fun pulls with my "fake" power

 

damn that **** looks MINT from the pics. rx7's look best in white

 

What's that going in? (Sorry, I don't know motors at all.)

Looks good though!

 

nice looking FC...

but um..why not leave the turbo cars for the real enthusiests and swap a blown N/A or something? I mean really..don't expect to make many friends on this forum by 1: insulting the rotary and 2: buying a mint TII to do the swap...

get on torquecentral.com

 

missing molding--hold up,where did you get that car from.I sold a white 87tII with missing side molding about 5 years ago to a guy in Virginia--lol

 

since youre getting rid of the turbo set up, how about i trade you my white mint NA hood for your t2 hood? Ill even drive down and buy you a pizza or something. ~Mike

 

Exactly, not the best way to start on a "rotary friendly" forum.

 

I am not trying to insult the rotary.I think it amazing how much power you can get out of such a small engine.Buy the time i had everything straightend out with the rotary i would have almost as much money in it as the swap.In the end i will have a car that has 350 HP and gets 26MPG.I went with the TII for the better differential and brakes.If your worried about me killing a turbo car then buy the motor/trans from me and put it in a n/a car.The car is not mint.The RF fender has a dent in it.The hood needs to be repainted and there is a small spot of rust on the sunroof.I bought the car from a guy in Lancaster.The hood is staying on the car.
For those who asked the motor is a LS1 out of a 99 Firebird.

 

How much for the 13bt engine, ecu and tranny? Hmmm a LS-1 huh? Nice choice of powerplant. I would love to come and see the finished project when you are done.

 

Let me know your price for the engine tranny and etc....

 

Lancaster delaware or Lancaster PA? I will be upset if it was Lancaster PA because that's where I live and I never see any 7s for sale in the area. I did happen to find a mint black '90 GXL with 131k on her, picked it up for $800 georges. The funny thing about it was, I was asked to help move a car for a friend of a friend with my F250 and ended up buying it on the spot. His wife didn't want it sitting at their new house, since he has a '06 RX8 now to drive.

 

I got the car from Lancaster PA.It was in a small storage garage.The guy i bought it from owned it for 7 years.

As for the motor/trans out of the car i would like to get $700 OBO for the whole setup.I dont have any compression numbers but the guy i got the car from said he rebuilt it about 1500 miles ago.It has no power steering and not ac.I will be selling it without a flywheel or clutch setup.It is out of the car so it could be picked up anytime.PM me if interested.
