Screw the rest of this thread. It falls into the "whatever" catagory. What I'm interested in is below...
Please go into more detail on how you eliminated the rad with your electric cooling system. Where did all the heat go? Did you store it in a reservoir of some kind of phase change material? If so, how much heat capacity did it have (ie. how long could you drive the car)? Was the heat rejected using evaporative cooling? If so, what did you keep in the reservoir and what was it's capacity and liquid flow rate? Did you convert the engine to air cooled? If so, how did you get enough airflow through such a cramped engine bay? Did you add a huge oil cooler and use only oil cooling? If so, then how did you cool the upper cylinder area?
I'm very interested in this. It sound revolutionary and could completely change the entire auto industry.
i used to own a z32 no one said i can ever single turbo it. but i heard it can be done cus of its v style motor and the room int he engine bay, i wanted to be uniqie even tho spendin more then 20,000 i done it. t78 turbo eliminating the rad and goin with electirc cooling system.

well wpg rx7 if u do have money and want to something unique that'll be hard to catch down that little stretch of road in your city and also represent the rx7 there..
buy a 20B engine subframe for your FD, a jdm turbo 20B cosmo engine, and find a shop that some experience doing a swap like that to jimmy it in your FD.
if you're frugal, you could prob do it for 10k with a subframe that doesn't move the engine back too deep.
however, making that thing a running single turbo will cost a bit more.
if you got the funds, a 20B would be:
-unique
-a more reliable high horse power conversion with more bottom end grunt
-still staying true (staying rotary)
-you could still say that you got only a 2 litre under the hood (how many of u 2L friends nissans making 600 to the wheels AND have the low down grunt along with it?)

i dont think i got 14"subs in the back all i have back there are 2 seats. lol. well my goal for my fd is a daily driver car that rips 10-11 1/4 times that i drive to the track not in a trailer that looks sexy unique stock looking body (shine wide body)
that turns like **** around the corner and when half to come visit the local drift session and drift soso around the course. basically what i want is to beat like you said vettes mustangs, muscle cars and leave them askin what i have done under the hood and reply a 1.3L.... and then lol go to car shows open up my hood see stainless steel cross braided lines polish intake, single turbo fmic. etc etc...
all i want to do is rep. rx7 becuase they have a bad name. i want to show that a lil' tlc, rx7s can be like hondas and reliable and get all the negitives and turn them into possitives by jus knowing what to maintaining them (cooling issues).
i used to own a z32 no one said i can ever single turbo it. but i heard it can be done cus of its v style motor and the room int he engine bay, i wanted to be uniqie even tho spendin more then 20,000 i done it. t78 turbo eliminating the rad and goin with electirc cooling system. i got about 1.5 foot on the front of the engine bay. i placed my t68 on the front and got my friend to weld m y exhaust mani to the front combined the turbos and did meth injected the whole works bigger fuel pump, upgraded ignition, fuel lines. fuel pressure reg so on so on.
car went like ****. no power on the bottom end but top end it was a feelin like no other. with stock enternals i push the motor to far and got blow by and motor went toast so right now im rebuilding the vg30dett motor with a big block forged piston cams port and polish, whole works. these are my 2 babies my z32 and my fd3s

hey, in fairness, it's possible. just not for very long.
I also have a z32 twin turbo and a couple years back i blew off my res lid cold staring because my coolant was too much water not enough antifreeze and the water pump pumped out all the water because a coolant line was froze up before the block.
anyways, i drove the for a whole hour (horrible for the water pump i know) driving 5-10 min at a time then parking the car.
VG30TT engine are a whole different thing than 13B rotary engines. The can take A LOT of heat soak before overheating. i have experience overheating both engines.
i have overheated my rx7 letting it idle with coolant. i also have ran in boost at stop light traffic on no coolant and did not overheat my 300zx twin turbo.
