supra engine...

so how much is that swap....and how reliable is it, there is a sp engenering place by my house (already done the swap)

say i find a rx7 with blown engine for like...11 with a good body...ill have around 10,000 i can mod the car with, would that be enough for: supra engine, trans, couple bolt ons, labor...?

Ill have to loose ac and power steering ?

I think this would be original, and more realiable than the rx7 engine....plus that iron block can take crazy boost stock

and how would the balance be...would the car handle like ****?

Its a nice motor, but the 20b has rotors. And it ain't no real motor less its gotta rotor. Plus you will get made fun of less by rotorheads if you go for a 20b, plus its still mazda, it has only 1 less rotor then the le mans winning car (toyota can't win le mans or F1), and 2jz-gte's are way common, if not in an RX-7.

I'm putting a 7MGTE in my car for less that 1K, and that with buying the motor, and installing. But my brother and I are doing all the work.


Plus you will get made fun of less by rotorheads if you go for a 20b

Whhoooddyy Freakin doooo!!!

Let them say what they want, but the'll shut the hell up, when you sucessfully holding 1000 HP, and still able to drive it for more than half the year. Lets see a 20B do that.

Apparently you didn't want it that bad, or else you wouldn't have let other people's opinion's change your mind.
