Sr20det

So I have searched a little and was unable to find anything. I read on one thread that there was one or more KA swaps done to a FC but I haven't heard of a SR20 in a FB before. I have been trying to decide what to do with my FB whether it was stay orginal go TII or do something completely different. Any ideas on how well this would work out?

Granted it is a piston engine in a RX-7 I'd just like it to be diffrent.

it has been done and covered, not a lot though. i researched it a lot for a while. it can be done rather easily. you can swap the 240 crossmember into the FB easily. then you have to fab a tranny mount. youll have to do some wiring and mod the fuel system.

the problems i saw with the swap is that the exhaust system is on the wrong side. so it would have to be brought over under the tranny. which will cause it to be rather low.

i have researched this and the 4G63 into a first gen a good bit. after much debate with a friend and thinking about it ive decided to try a 13bt before i do a piston swap. i just love the sound of the wankel

Couldn't agree more I love the sound of a rotary and I understand the whole rotary to piston blasphamey but I think it would be diffrent and people wouldnt expect to see red top in the 7.
