thank you all mike

1) Put on your flame suit.
2) go to http://www.grannysspeedshop.com/

Note the complete kit is $1795 + labor + engine.

Believe me.... I promise that its a bit more involved than just finding the tach wire.... lol.... your putting a archaic engine from a different side of the planet in you car!! motor mounts are going to be the least of your issues.

I haven't done the v8 swap, because I have a moral line I will never cross. You can do what you want with your car, of course. Do a search for granny's speed shop and v8 RX-7 swap on google. They specialize in this particular monstrosity.

doing a V8 swap is:
a) harder than getting a 13b working
b) not cool

c. retarded
i run a low 13 and have spent about 2 grand on my motor (including the motor itself)

the thing is i no not very much about a rotory

which is why you're on this sight with all these lovely rotorheads. be it a personal preference, it should be far easier installing a 13b.

Oh boy! Its the monthly V8/Rotary swap debate. I was feeling so lonely without it!

mikeyb2003:
This forum has some good guys on it, and there is a lot of RX-7 help here.
BUT...These guys have a secret rotor religion and you offend them greatly.
I have done several swaps and absolutely love the results.
Come over to
www.torquecentral.com
and don't get the roto-religious police after you.

i wonder if anyone that did a swap w/ a different motor can beat me for the same price I put into mine.......if so i would love to see it.

chris: I probably could. ;) Free car... I've got a 327 from a corvette sitting on my floor with transmission... that was free as well.... All I'd need to do is get some mounts and fab it all up. I bet I could do it for under $2,000 ;)

Sorry buddy but if you think you can do an entire engine swap just by locating the tach wire.. you dont know very much about anything :ret: holy shit that is an awesome smiley :hah:
Sorry.. not trying to flame. But i think you might want a pro to do this...
Grannysspeedshop.com.. look there :p:

:wtf1:

exactly kep0ne
"so if you have what do i do cuz i am like wtf do i do on the can what wires do i need to find" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

guys give him a break, hes just a little set back after trying to drink antifreeze :evilgrin:

Can you find me a T2 for under 2k???

off to alt engines

mmm... Well... see if you can fit the VW W16 engine in there!! Probably the only piston engine i wouldnt balk at in the 7.

'87 Sport
Jspec TII engine
full 3 inch exhaust
hks intake w/ 3 inch tid
hks ssq bov
MRT FCD
S5 intake manifold
8mm Accel Wires/NGK platinums
boost/temp/a/f gauges
ported wg w/ mbc
fmic
weight reduction
walbro fuel pump
16in rims w/ 225 series tires
hks type-1 turbo timer
e-fan Yea all for 2 grand. Maybe you can spend a buck or two for some calculator batteries, as i think your math may be off a bit. Or possibly hook us all up with your super discount "store"

For $2000?? You're not serous right? the tires probably are $500. You could easily spend the rest just on rims. There wouldn't be any of the engine parts etc...

He's got a car with no engine. The engine alone would cost $2,000 (for a rebuilt N/A) and then is has no goodies. He'd still need an intake and accesories etc. Could go with a Jspec (only turbos available) but then need the ECU, knock sensor etc, Cars a N/A so wouldn't go with the N/A drive line.

Only way to recover this Rx-7 is to take another car and mix it together. The other car could be and Rx-7 or something else but it will be the only cost effective way to go.

Not me, ask chris stampe above how he pulled that rabbit out of his hat for 2g's

What to do first.
 

With all do respect. If I were you I'd go back to school and learn how to spell.

with all do respect why post on a thread from 3 1/2 years ago?
