hi new
why waist one of our precious cars by putting a different engine in it.....theres less and less of them everyday....why not put a v8 in something that theres way to much of......like a crappy honda or v-dub or something
Welcome to the club, but really you won't much content here pertaining to v8 swaps. Infact 90% of what you'll find are the above worthless posts. You're better off on www.v8rx7forum.com
You guys are idiots. Most Rx7's die by going to the junkyard after it blows and nobody will touch it. Putting v8's in rx7's KEEPS them around.
(Mine ran fine, I just wanted something with more torque.)

yea im a member of that forum alrdy i came here cause i saw an ad for a sweet fd in the forum near me so i thought i would join and chat
RX does stand for Rotary Experimental... but hey, its your car, do what you want to do with it.
V8 will be more reliable right away, but a if you take the time and effort to build a Rotary itll be just as reliable, and personally, i think the way it puts down power is much more unique than any of the V8's ive driven.
besides all that <.< >.> V8's are for quitters! xD

^^your right theres nothing wrong with rotaries and v8's......BUT.....really whats the point? why not get a camaro- firebird- trans am, grand national, mustang, charger, challenger, cuda,....yada yada yada......and just use that?
to be different? NOT!
call me what you want.....but there are tons and tons of people that want these cars WITH the engines they were supposed to come with so they can aswell say they have something different, something that stands alone.
on another note, a pistons a pistons a pistons a piston. they all have the same basis no matter what little changes they make. the last thing i saw that even made me a bit interested was displacement on demand....and even that wasnt so grand....how many engines that are mass produced for automobiles can say they dont need pistons or valves to work? thats different
but you know what it is a free country after all so do what you want......just dont expect everyone here to be giddy about the swap
and unlike some people we all wont call you idiots just because we dont agree with you
lastly, may i make just two suggestion, and if you would be so kind as to listen. can you at least drive the car(if you buy one that runs that is) with the stock engine and see what you think before you do the swap, you may find you like it. Lastly please dont trash the engine, sell it to somebody...its alot better off that the engine stays in circulation then meeting a cruel destruction before its time.
thanks

Hey Odin,
The rx7 is an amazing car....and if built properly the 13b can be just as reliable as anymotor out there.
i am new too....just got my FD....but I plan on keeping the 13b....one V8 swapped RWD car is enough.
