Hey all, Im a newbie to this website. My name is Leo and I have a 94 fd. I am currently building a ls1 swap. Please no hate here people. I do love rotaries and have a great passion for them. I just want some torque, and reliability. Anyways hi to all and shoot me a message if ever any questions

 

 

thanks 7 rocket. i feel very welcomed already

 

People are often asking how many FD's are left on the road. A subset of that question is how many of them have been converted to V8's? That number seems to be increasing. I'm guessing it's around 5% and growing.

 

Welcome to the site but i would welcome yourself in the rotary performance section under "other engine conversions" Yeah im not a big fan of v8 swaps in the FD's at all, in fact i hate them.

 

welcome, sorry about the ls1 though.

 

Welcome, you will find a lot of info on the other conversion threads, I used to dislike LS1 swaps but after getting a ride in one, I have respect for them, it will be one fun ride..Goodluck with your project...

 

Guys there is no reason to apologize to me for doing the ls1 swap. Please keep note I didnt come on here to get bad-mouthed, nor will I bad-mouth anyone else. I could probably say that I have in my personal collection more rx7 memoribilia or toys of that nature that has to do with rotarys than anyone else. I am a huge rotary nut weather its 12a 13b 20b n/a turbo or single turbo I love them all. About 2 years ago I went to a mazda car show and a guy pulled up with a 94 ls1. I bowed my head and almost cried. Than I talked to the guy and learned alot. about 1 month later I purchased his rotary motor and that same nite I thought what the hell ill go for a ride. From that point I WAS HOOKED! I have a friend that has a 94 single greddy 66 with a streetport done at mazsport in tampa bay fl. Yes his car was quick, but that ls1 said Goodbye to that single turbo. In fact not even a close race from 0-60, 60-140, or even on high boost. I was going to do a turbonetics t78 but thought would that be rite? to only get 30-60,000 miles and than go boom. Nope. I donty have the money that you folks probably do to consistantly fix my seals. My rx isnt a daily driver but I want to make sure that when I do want to drive it, it will start up. Again I love wankles and would bet on anyone in a race vs another import, just not a real hp car.

 

Another enlightened one!....i'm following the same path soon.
