engine swap advice - 4 cyl. in a 3rd gen rx7
#26
yeah man.....the strongest rotary i can drive on my P's is a 12A...... anything higher than 1146cc im not allowed to drive.... i guess they just see if your car looks like its got some power in it n they pull u ova n chek your engine..... but yeah it does suck.....
well ive heard alot about v8 and v6 conversions in a 3rd gen.... so its either get a 1st gen with a 12A and spend alot of time and money fix'n it.... or get a rolling shell of a 3rd gen and put a piston engine in it (because with piston engines i can drive what i want unless its a v8 or has a turbo.....
so at the moment im thinking of getting the 3rd gen and putting a v6 in it.....unless i cant find out how to put a 4 cyl. into it n save money on fuel.....
but any advice about how to do this would be great....

whats a Turbo V?
from what i understand you can have a turbo deisel right i smell TD performance. there are plenty of turbo deisel motors that will woop on turbo gas motors. try and find a nice turbo deisel motor and make it fit and once you reach 25 years old start realy uping the power.

whats a FD?
not tryin sound negative, but there is a reason why there is "R" in RX7. and even if you could fit a twin overhead cam inline 4, good lucky finding one that matches the potential of a FD. (if you put anything with "honda" in a 3rd gen i'm sorry, but please don't buy an FD)

If you don't know what it is, don't worry you shouldn't own one anyway.
As for the P plate rules, it's so common and annoying when someone posts up the same thing on Australian forums trying to get around it. You shouldn't be coming onto US forums and annoying them with it especially since they have no idea what the rules are over here to begin with.
