Renesis or 20B in my FC???
 

I had a thread on the 20B forum and to make a long story short, the 20B swap costs roughly $10,000 to complete. I was wondering, would a Renesis swap be any cheaper/easier???

That's a pretty easy answer since you can't even buy a crate Renesis yet. Even when they become available, I would imagine they will cost upwards of $7k.

What rynberg said. The engine itself will be costly. IMO, you might as well as go with the 20B:devil:

What about the FD's 13B REW? Would that be a pricey swap?

Damn. Everything about N/A FC's is starting to piss me off. What about the TII swap? It should be alot easier right? If its not, or if its too damn expensive, I'm selling my car and buying a CIVIC!!!!

RevvinFC- a 20B swap will cost you more than $10K.... a lot more unless you do pretty much all the work yourself.

13B-REW would be pretty awesome but lots of work as well. Much more common so having a motor built will be easy. rx7.com is down in TX so you luck out there.

I have a '93 complete FD motor with everything (intake/turbos/intercooler/sensors) but needs a rebuild. $1K plus shipping

That would get you started in the rotary direction.

If you want more reliable power and are on a $10K budget..... install an LS1 with T56 6speed for 450rwhp/425rwtq for well under $10K. This would include AFR 205cc heads, big cam, HD clutch, PCM repgrogramming and mounts/radiator/driveshaft etc.

Your car would be a madman.

WOW!! $1,000 +shipping on the 13B REW!!! Thats not bad at all. I'm really wanting to keep it rotary, I mean thats why I bought a 7. Rotaries fascinate me because I know damn near all there is to know about piston engines. I like the sounds that a rotary makes at about 8,000 rpms, that mixed with screaming tires and my favorite techno music just makes me all tingly feeling. I like power, but I think I like rotaries a little bit too much to compromise.


BTW: Are you in a hurry to sell that engine? If not PLEASE hold on to it and I PROMISE I will buy it from you for $1,100 + shipping when I can get the money. I'm jobless at the moment but give me a few months and I'll DEFINATELY take you up on it.

Here in Japan you can get the mounts for around 30,000Y to drop an fd motor into an fc. Not sure about in the states though.

Wire the money to sillbeer and have him pick you up a set 30,000 yen is roughly $237.50.

NICE BUMP CHUMP:icon_tup:

Right day, Right month, Wrong year.

(speaking like an auctioneer)

Six! Do I have six? Six years anyone?

if someone knew or can get the program to flash the renesis i would do the swap like what the guys do for the gm motors

^ it needs to be rebuilt, that usualy is around 3-5k$ :)

Are you serious?

3-5k to rebuild an rew?

Please ship me whatever it is your smoking in bc please.

^^ probly some good shit, it is canada.

Holy thread bump! Jesus christ! I don't even HAVE that FC anymore, not to mention I don't listen to techno anymore O_o
