i'll move to mexico!

 

I don't agree with that at all. These LS1 conversions are potent cars and most of these guys are simply attracted to the simplicity of the final product matched with lots of *****. n/a is simply much simpler and cheaper to maintain. Nothing wrong with that in my book.

Mark, Mark, Mark...I've blown it up more than that
Weren't you just complaining to me about how you are tired of working on your car and wish you could just drive it without having to work on it.
btw, how is that idle and drivabilty issue treating you? Have you retuned it yet because I know that mileage has to be killing you? Oh, I forgot, you need someone else to tune it for you.

We figured out why it was only making 377 rwhp. Besides, there was only a 60 hp difference iirc as your car only made a hair over 430 rwhp. I'll make that up and then some on pump gas after the problem is corrected.

I'll concede $15k ahead of me is realistic, though I'm about the worst case scenario you could come up with.

Really, changing gaskets is all you've had to do? I know WAY better than that.
Just what you need, more torque to break and crack **** than you already do.
I'm not replacing another sub-frame for you.
How is the one-legger rear-end treating you these days? Perhaps you should buy S4 diffs in bulk.
Besides, that extra torque would probably make it harder to drive on a road course and lower your times more than they alreay are, that is if you could get a clean lap without begining to overheat.
But if you're only concerned about *** times, more power to you.

As previously mentioned, I'm about the worst case scenario from the rotary community but there are more than enough "rotards" out there to negate that argument.
Besides, anyone who knows me at all knows I'm a mental case.
rotary>piston and rotaries are the best things since sliced bread.

Pure and simple bullshit.

 

yes sir, sociology major. i can sure wipe my *** w/ that type of degree. no wonder you became a cop.

 

If I were you, I would wipe your *** with toilet paper. A degree would leave it raw. Your choice though.

 

The best part of this thread is it started are a joke( I hope, who needs more than 500 hp?), and it has been a funny one at that! If you truely do need LS-7 hop up parts try gm performance parts online. BTW do they make a LS7 crate motor?

 

speak for yourself, fullchitchu.

 

Haha yea what are you smoking man??

 

upgrades when done properly can make a reliable engine, and wtf does how much power my car makes have to do with this? i have built cars faster than my own, why? because i have been through stroked V8s and i build these cars because i like the challenge that comes with them in that they are not your run of the mill engine. i built my car as just a fun car to daily drive not get fast and the furious at the strip or racing ricers or bragging rights because i could build one for fun with lots of power but i'm not into sinking money into a project right now just to make me feel like i have big *****.

by reliable i mean within reason, higher HP will break things, we all know this to be true but a well built and propely modded and tuned rotary engine on say 350RWHP should see 80k miles if maintenance is done regularly the tuning rechecked and adjusted on a regular basis. i dont mean babying the engine either, i mean redlining it several times a day as if drag racing.

i said what i mean in that a piston engine requires less overlooking to be sure everything is just right as it is a larger displacement motor and requires less of a fine line when pushing the threshold of performance from the engine.

what is this forum for? there is plenty of piston forums out there, many people bought their rotary powered vehicle for what? the "rotary engine". why am i ranting? because i'm tired of v8 conversion guys talking ****.

now go play with your pistons, i don'ty feel i need to explain myself further.

 

personally i dont have a problem with it either but i get tired of people thinking that rotaries are junk motors just because they have had a bad experience or seen plenty of others have those experiences as well.

i didn't know **** about rotaries just over a year ago, if people do homework they can modify these engines safely but most people simply just get ahead of themselves or try to push themselves or their wallet too fast.

i'm done now, thanks for reading.

 

man you must really hate his *** huhrlaugh

 

Haha, youre a little coward. Talking **** about me in other threads. I guess I hit your little soft spot. haha, what a bitch.

 

i think you did bee

 

I know i did.

 

Bring it Mark

 

Nice reply Dave .... I about pissed myself reading it. That was just the reaction I wanted ha ha ha

You did help to open my eyes to ditching drag racing and going road racing. 1/4 stuff is pretty lame after sitting around an hour or so to make a pass that only last a handful of seconds.

This year I'll finally make some radiator ducting as I have nothing aside from the top plate (can't wait to have you help), put some vents in one of the extra hoods I have, I did have to install a replacement subframe that didn't have the welds ground down (the genius fabricator sacrificed strength for appearance), a torque arm that actually has good weld penetration, more exhaust collector gaskets that like to blow out, and finally a rebuild on my 130K mile S4 T2 LSD unit that was behind a 400hp GN powered RX-7 for 20K miles (thanks for the rebuild parts Carl).

Karack- I think why the V8 RX-7 guys hang out on this forum is because we recognize that Mazda builds cars that handle well and are light. The engineers paid extra attention to this in the RX-7 and made one hell of a chassis no matter what power plant is powering it. The FB was the first RX-7..... then came the FC which is a great car for the buck.... but then along came the FD and that's when it got to supercar status. .99-1.01g's on all season radials in a stock FD off the showroom floor should open up anyone's eyes that wants to own a car that is an excellent corner carver.

The point where rotary enthusiasts and V8 RX-7 guys don't see eye to eye is when you want to make 350rwhp+ for a long time... and haven't experienced a rotary letting go for no real reason... and then getting the feeling of a hand grenade going off in your pocket as you realize the $$$ you know have to put forth time and time again.

Some of the V8 RX-7 guys could own a Vette... but most of us don't want to be like 99% of the asshats that drive them and have a common car I see every damn day on the road.

I can honestly say I like my $25K supercar that can mop up ones that cost in excess of $100K and drive it to work in near sleeper status.

 

bee should change his name to norcalrotor
