If your horsepower numbers are accurate, then your peak torque is well over 600. Pretty freakin awesome.

Thats pretty cool to know, that verifies what I said previously in this thread, that in order to match the broad power band of an LS1, you would need to "throw a 20b in and mod the **** out of it." lol It seems that your car has just as broad a power band as a similar powered LS1. I guess thats why everyone who swaps in a 20b raves about all the torque available.

I am excited though, I have a larger turbo on the car now. Innovative Turbo believes the newer / larger turbo should net 75hp or so more than the T72 at the various PSI boost ranges. What also amazes me about this car, is that this dyno was done at a lower PSI. 13.6 average (according to the Microtech unit) through the run. But as you can see on the dyno, we were choking the turbo. It had amazing boost response (because the engine flows so well), but lacked the upper-end continous power. Not that I ever really saw that range anyways....

How aggressive is the porting on the engine? There is a local guy in the process of building his 20b and is going with a garret 76 turbo. Just curious as to how aggressive the port needs to be in order to get those kind of numbers out of it.

i hate people who do v8 swaps. I dont care what anyone says, thats what i think. If you want a LS1 buy a ******* corvette. Leave our 7's alone. If mazda intended for a v8 to be put in it, they would have put one in.
I think if anyone puts a V8 into a Rx-7 i think they should loose all rights to call it a Rx-7. simply for the fact its nolonger a rotary.
When my fc is finished it will be able to eat up both of those V8's and still shake its *** in glory

WOW! Brilliance strikes again! Man you argue your case so well, its hard to rebuttle but I'll try...
I'm sure they feel the same for close-minded idiots like you.
Or, you could mind your own business
Correction. I think what you meant to say was: "Leave MY 7 alone. Others should be able to do with their 7s as they please."
I think you should STFU and worry about your own shyte.
You = moron. Get a bone stock LS1, let alone a H/C LS1 and swap it into a FD with no other modifications and run 11s. So I think what you meant to say here was: "IF my fc ever gets finished it will still lose to a basic swap LS1 into FD in all areas of performance."
Right on man, keep it real...

It's amazing how just posting the address to a few pictures and a cool little 20-120 race video could generate such a sh**storm in such a small amount of time. For the record I bought the car as you see it in my signature a few months ago. I was just looking to replace my daily driver and thought this would be fun. It has been that and so much more. It actually gets the same interstate highway mileage (30) as my 1990 Honda Accord EX 5-speed that it replaced. I guess I don't have to tell you how much more fun it is to drive. I commute 300 miles one way each week from Pensacola Florida to Patterson Louisiana, working a seven day on, seven day off schedule. So fuel mileage was an important consideration, as well as rock solid reliability. This package, no matter how maligned by the "rotary purists", delivers in spades. I absolutely love this car......

The ONLY cool V8 swap is the LS1. Why? Because it follows the technology / lightness ideoligy of the mazda rx7. The LS1 is a lightweight and highly develped V8 (despite its pushrod design). If you want to bash V8 Rx7s, then bash all the NON LS1 versions for their crappy heavy design and non-modern technology. Did you see that Non-LS1 FC get owned? Exactly.....
To sum up:
LS1 = good v8 swap choice, follows mazdas "lightness" ideology, reliable and modern
Non-LS1 = Ghey heavy technology, F*s up weigh distribution, deserving of rotard sh*t talking.

i gotta admit, one of the reasons i bought my FC is coz from certain front angles, it looks like a lotus esprit and from certain back angles, it looks like a 944.
the shape of an FC or FD have this presence that no 300ZX, 240 or MK3/4 supra can match - you know when its an RX-7.
but smart people should be brave enough to admit our beloved rotary's flaws which a V8 makes up for (lack or tq, reliable power, no finicky turbos...etc.)
im considering buying a 2000 GT for the sake of a newer car......but everytime i look at my FC, i always think twice. hey a V8 swap would give me the best of both worlds - a sexy rare-looking car with the everyday power of a V8.

You are allowed to have your opinion, but as already pointed out by making ignorant blanket statements, in the proverbial sense we're all standing in the corner laughing our proverbial asses off at you.
"YOU'RE" the dipshit for bashing the threadstarter and anyone else on this forum who covets a V8 swapped RX-7 over the rotary and any others who "STATE" (not station my friend) their opinion.
And you're right, being in a free country allows me to call an ace an ace
Hence my post directed towards you. If you don't like it then STFU and hit the X in the upper right hand corner. Also, if you don't like V8 swapped RX-7s and their increasing popularity as of recent, get the **** off the forum Now STFU and sit down
P.S. the fact still remains that after your FC is done, it'll still get SMOKED by a basic LS-1 swapped FD in every performance category you can dream up, and still be more reliable

Why don't all you knuckle-dragging v8 lovers move out to the boondocks of west virginia and get yourself some camaros? I don't hate v8s all that much, I just don't like big engines, I got nothing to make up for I guess. I think it's your attitudes that **** people off. Why is it that a V8 and a douche are always in the same car? Coincidence? </opine>

Haha ricer mentality. You want an example of what I hate? A vette C6 with 6 liters and 400 horsepower. ****, a 2JZ can whip that out without breaking a sweat. Why use 6 when you can do it with 3? Why, thats just un-American! I'll take a 13B REW over a LS1 any day, if I wanted low end torque I'd drive a ******* tractor.

You claim to be a student; I didn't anticipate this thread could attract a dreadful meth ***** as you.
You're pissed because you don't have what we have to do what we do - money and know-how. Do all of us a favor and take a ride over a cliff in one of your dreadful girly ****-mobiles, Loser-n00B.
