Okay, so on the way to work last week this total dipshit in front of me (on a one way access road and around a sharp curve by the way) decides he should make a "u-turn" in the middle of the frickin road. I tried to switch lanes, braked, but it was too late and as he proceeded to acheive the world's slowest u-turn I nail him in the his rear driver-side Q-panel (his fault thank God). Long story short, my car is jacked up front but the motor and tranny are untouched. As we all know the work/money situation is tight when you are in college and on your own two feet so I opted to buy this (help me out here) GXL/GTU(?) no motor/tranny for sixty bucks, straight body, never wrecked and with less rolling miles than my comatosed-*** FC. So two questions: (1) I am more than sure there is nothing special I have to do for this swap besides swap my motor/tranny, ecu, diff, driveshaft, new hi-flow fuel pump. I also plan to put all the "better peices" from my old FC on the new FC. Anything at all I should look into that I may be not thinking about? and question (2) What is my new FC? It has four pots up front, non-ABS, five lug, two seat, manual rack, (this is the part that gets me) electronic sports suspension- which will be tossed for world famous racing beat/AGX combo. But seriously none of that points me in the right direction. Help me out!

P.S.- I am not stupid enough to put a good motor with less than 20K into another rx7 without porting that mother first. A friend is doing a good sized street port for dirt cheap and I am excited at what my rx7 comrades are telling me to look forward to. I can't wait, but, how different does it feel? Where does the power start/stop? How much power should I expect? I'm hearing with the my mods it should be between 45-65 hp, is that true? I thought only 20% (50 hp or so) at the most. And besides a new hi-flow fuel pump, is it necessary to upgrade to bigger secondaries? When I do my T04E upgrade (.52/1.0) I'm doing injectors but whats the best? Help me out, and you will have done a good thing. Thank you endlessly.

 

as far as swaping as long as you have the doner car that everything came off of, you should be good.if it doesnt have abs its a s4, and if yours is allso a s4(86-88) its all good.just swap everything over....o am doing the same thing with my buddies car, its not all that hard just time concuming, be careful of the harness cuz its old and brittle, as well as fuel and coolent lines, the diff is fun, the easyest way i have fouind to do that is drop the entire sub frame, if get some buddies to help that damn thing aint light or compact, but yes its all verry posible and easy, in a sense....any other questions.....pm me.
