He can't talk about built V8's that aren't good for the street but you can talk about 6 second rotaries that are basically the same? I love the little engines that could, but you're not talking about any small amount of $ when it comes to making sub 10 second passes on ANY engine. For those speeds you will save a bit of cash by using a V8 though. You also fail to mention that any of those small displacement engines that are running that fast are not run with those track settings on a daily basis, nor would that be done with any small amount of forced induction. That would be because the motor won't last too long when tuned to the edge. Meanwhile, a half *** tune on an LS1 will get you those times, and then you drive it away the same way it went down the track.

I don't own any V8's because they are too simple to get power out of, but that's my personal preference. I like to tune small motors to compete with the big boys, but you can't deny that they are the ones that set the standards for stock power. You claim how slow they are, but you're comparing modded to stock. Power-to-cost the LS1 will own you. Put equal cash into an LS1 as you would the small motor you are trying to get to compete with it and it will still win.

damnit, audiobot7 when are you going to paint that car?

audiobot7

Not a priority on my list. Way too much fun to drive since the V8 conversion.

vietnamese?

now your getting it!
now sell me your FD so i can do a 13Brew swap on it

that car would look so sexy one color

my next project is going to be a turbo lt1 fc

rotaries, 4 cylinders, and 6 cylinders just cant compete. i love anything and everythign that is fast, but at the risk of offending most of the people on this site... the rotary engine just does not belong in a chassis as refined as rx7 imo.. its an interesting concept but just too flawed for use in fast street car.

i can drop in and turbo a v8 for the same cost as building a badass rotary, but it will be reliable, make more power and torque, and probably even get better mileage ha.. as if that were a concern

to each their own, i dont hate on rotary rx7's, its nice when people return the courtesy on swapped 7's

rx7legend

to each their own bro, i just don't see the ls1 a good swapped in a 7, maybe youll find a 3rotor fb in the street and then you're gonna get you're *** handed to you. rotaries rule

BlkS5TII

Because there are just oodles of three rotor FB's driven around. I hope the 3 rotor is highly modded, but since the cost of just the 3 rotor is higher than a turbo LT1 I don't think he'll have had enough money leftover.

rx7legend

lol ok bro i respect that you like ls1 and lt1 swapps etc. but let me ask you, would you rather have a turbo 2 whit a ls1 or a fb whit a 3 rotor??? for me thats not a difficult choise lol.

later

BlkS5TII

That's a very difficult decision. It would all depend on my financial situation, and how much money I can afford to put into buying 9 apex seals instead of none. Why can't I have the FC or even an FD with the 3 rotor? Then it wouldn't be a decision, but it wouldn't be for the crappy handling; it would be for the novelty.

EDIT: The more I think about it the more it bothers me. I love both setups, and so I wouldn't know which one to pick. I'll take both.

audiobot7

none, fd rules.

peachykeenwight

rx7legend.. you're dumb.

LSx swaps are perfect for 7s. If you say otherwise, you're simply ignorant. Who wouldn't want the power potential of a big, sturdy V8 in an awesome chassis like the 7's?

I love my rotary... but... seriously, don't be an idiot. You just give rotary fans a bad name when you act like rotaries are the best engines ever. They're not at all.

Rotaries can make big numbers, and when they do it's alot more impressive than seeing a V8 making big numbers, but.. logically, economically, and environmentally speaking.. LSx > rotary. You can't deny that.

PS: Thanks for making a jackass of myself and every other rotary owner. I'm ashamed for you.

cool_as_crap

ok, i may be ignorant
but
your still gay

i just ate a sandwich

rx7legend

whatever bro, its not my problem that it bothers you, and you now what, the jackaas is yourself cause even blks5TII that is the guy im discussing the ls1 swapp isn't pissed man, grow up. lol you like v8s i like rotarys, you like red i like blue so wth is the problem. and you know what, right now if someone came and change my TII for a fd that has an ls1 swapp on it i tell him no. you like ls swapps good for you man, i like rotarys more than ls swapps then thats my problem dude. do whateever pleased you but next time go cry and talk dumb things in another place jackass.

ps- the only one that make a jackass of hymself is you, i respect every rotary owner that can talk peacefully, you my friend welll go and do you're ls swapp in your car wth.

rx7legend

lol, im with you man

audiobot7

fawk 4 bangers, V8's, and rotaries. Its all about hydbrids

NeedFD

is this better? (see sig) close to its current state
