ok a buddy of mine was asking me and i had no idea what to tell him. he wants to know if anyone has swapped a sr20dett in there FC? i haven't found anyone that has done it yet let me know if anyone knows, and if so where do get the stuff for it

 

sr20dett? TT? twin turbo 2 liter 4 cylinder? no.

assuming that was a typo, and you just meant sr20det, yes its been done, no there isnt a kit, and yes it is stupid.

13bt will be easier/cheaper to install and the sr20 has no real advantage to make this swap worth your time or money.

 

its been done but not TT its just an sr20det, I believe one of the guys from drift alliance did it to his black FC

 

sorry for the typeo..lol he is getting pissed off with his FC because he just rebuilt his 13b and it sat for a few weeks before he installed it and now there is something inside the motor. he said if he has to open it back up because of something in the motor he is not going to replace the seals and stuff all over again he is going to go pistons tell me what you think

 

well, for an fc i would choose a different powerplant. but if he is set on this engine then cool. i just think it will be alot of money for such little payoff..... in an FC that is.

now an fb? HELL YEA!

 

Yup, gotta look for it though. I think his name is Brian or something.

 

It'd be much easier to swap in a 4g63, and you'd wind up with a better engine.

 

a 4G63 in an FC? so that would be "RX7 Evo" )

 

Your clueless.

Andrew

 

lol yes very clueless i wonder if he knows that the sr20det is a rwd motor...lol i told him about putting something bigger and better but he said he wants to stay JDM so i even told him about putting the what is it vet30 or what ever it is called from the 300z but he has his heart set on the sr20 which don't get me wrong is a good motor....in a silvia

 

why does he want to stay 'jdm' so bad? does he realize how fast his car would be with an ls1? while also remaining lightweight?

 

VG30DETT? Instead of swapping a 300zx or 240sx motor into an RX-7.... why not just GET a 300zx or 240sx?? I don't get it... Putting a completely wrong engine into it is pretty bad. I feel bad just having 240sx wheels on my car let alone if I had a 240sx engine. Unless the I-4, V6 or V8 is out of a Mazda than it's not right.

 

well i understand your point but when you build a 13b and it breaks on you in 22k like mine did and for my boy maybe 1 mile you can understand his/my anger. so your saying if he puts a miata motor in there it will be better?

 

its because he doesn't want to be like me...shhhhh you didn't hear that!

 

Yes, you're absolutely right, "my clueless."

lol omg i wonder if u kno that the 4g63 is also rwd... lol

Obviously not. Not only that, but the 4g63 will actually bolt up to the TII tranny, only one of the reasons I suggested it.

The other reasons being the iron block, proven performance capabilites, and most importantly, the greater deck height that allows you to stroke the engine without the rod angle taking a giant ****.

YEAH GUYS, I'M THE CLUELESS ONE!

 

pat yourself on the back we are proud of you

 

Wasn't it a wideblock only, non 4g63 that could bolt to the TII tranny? Then could be rebuilt to '63 like specs?

..sounds simple...

 

i think that if you have an fc, a big part of why the car is so cool is the rotary, going away from a rotary would defeat the purpos of the car, i say if you want a diferent engine, go to a 13bre.

 

back to the topic people i don't care about your opinion on the 13b i just want to know about the sr20 in a FC. again this is not my swap i already have my swap for my FC

 

SR20 in an FC is stupid and a waste if time and money, what else do you want to know?

 

umm...how in the hell does a 4g "bolt right up" to a TII trans?

 

there is a member (OC_ i think?) who has swapped an s2k motor in his fd, that might not be a bad choice. though might be pretty pricey.

 

yeah i saw that and i let my boy see it but he is dead set on the sr20. also i would like to know how the 4g bolts right up as well

 

****, you're right. Here the whole time I thought I bought the car for my own personal enjoyment. Turns out it was for the rotary. Thank you for enlightening me.

Oh, and would you like to race?
