My nightmare...

[skillzilla]

Hey peeps, getting really close to complete on my build and thought Id share some details here. Its an '89 TII, redtop SR swap, mid FMIC, some other small mods. Should be a fun lil whip when (if?) I ever get it done, work is slow right now but its coming together.

This thread is full of fail....:lmfao: :lmfao:

And to make an arrogant comment towards QD...:eek: :screwy:

[Deke]

Hmm, cool stuff man. I wouldn't worry about the people that don't like it. They aren't the ones driving it. And it's not like it's an eyesore or anything. Reps for being different (and more reliable :)) :goodjob:

*shakes head*

Have fun... guess its different... been done before though...

[skillzilla]

Thanks everyone, ya it should be pretty fun. Still a lot of work left to do but the majority of the hard stuff is over.

And why not do it? Its not like the 13B is powerhouse, or fun to work on, or trouble free, or great on gas, or really anything special. Of course thats my opinion, I know some people would disagree whole-heartedly.

[yungdz]

looks good man. Shoulda just used a NA rx7 rather than killing off a turbo 2 but I can't wait to see it done regardless. How much more do you have to do?

[quickdodge®]

And why not do it?

It's just a matter of opinion to folks. A lot of people think you're ruining a bad ass car by brand swapping. I know I'm one of those. Doesn't mean I think YOU are an idiot. Just your ideas on this car. Big difference. Later, QD.

I hear ya, it was definitely a fun car to own until the motor let go. The body was too nice to let go of, though, aside from the blue interior :( I love the styling on these cars so much!

[skillzilla]

Oh ya, whats left to do. Basically a bunch of small shit on top of essentials like the IC piping, radiator brackets, PS lines and ressy, tach signal, and a few other things.

[eraser4g63]

I hope you are kidding about more reliable. I had a ton more problems out of my SR20 that i had ever had out of my 13BT, I also flog on my FC harder that i ever did on my SR.

13B is a powerhouse.. sr is definatly not..lol

i respect the move and work... car looks to be in good shape.... id still prefer to see a flying M in the bay instead of that red thing..

[HypnoToad]

umm idk bout that,should have least put a LT1 or LS1 in it............o,well GL

[cactusEG]

Thats some interesting shit ! but still kinda cool...

[skillzilla]

Thanks guys, could be on the road this weekend possibly!!

[YoshiFD3S]

I admit, I'm kinda disappointed that you're ditching the rotary.

As long as you do the SR RIGHT and don't turn that clean FC into an S13 in an FC shell, it'll be aiight.

I plan on going 2JZ when I re-enlist in <2 years, so I can't hate on you TOO much for going piston.


^_^

[skillzilla]

lol its a bone stock SR, not a lot of right and wrong coming into play so far :) The rest of the car is getting standard FC treatment pretty much.

[Sport1.3]

It's different for sure, you will definitely get better gas mileage, and Sounds better (imo). I've always been a fan of "anything but a rotary" swaps (unless its an old toyota lol) hope it works out for you.

[skillzilla]

Got the radiator and intercooler buttoned up today, think I might have a hard time finding a top hose. Cold pipe is a work in progress.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/candykane101/SRFC/New/HPIM2683.jpg

[green91]

I actually think its a great swap. Sr20 are cheap and very strong. They aren't plagued by the same problems as the rotaries. GL with the project!

[YoshiFD3S]

You should talk to Kyle @ Lethal.

He is the piping and welding guru.

Example:

All custom-done by Kyle.

[EmminoDaGreat]

aside from my dislike of an sr20, it a different swap, which is cool...
Shoulda just put a 2j in there :) tight fit, but it works....

I saw the piping on your car when it was being built, looked pretty good.

hahaha no thx on the 2J, great motors but not what i was going for here.

[SampaGuy]

I would drive that, and I would not drive a rotary FC. Its almost like you cured cancer!

[eraser4g63]

Its almost like you cured cancer!

And Gave it AIDS

[chava_rx7]

Jajajajaja!!!
True, not the best swap when it comes to a verry clean S5 TII

[skillzilla]

Naturally, I disagree ;)

Besides, its still an S5 TII, just more badass.

[eraser4g63]

I will always respectfully disagree with people swapping motors that are A. of Different make in to a car or B. Inferior in my opinion. But thats just me.

[Boosted FC]

And Gave it AIDS

LMFAO @ Tyler.

OP, although I am a Rotary fan, swap looks clean :goodjob:. Not some hacked up crap.

[skillzilla]

Really? Cross-platform swap piss you off? To me its the best way to build exactly the type of car you want, whatever that may be. Shoot, a buddy of mine's pops was banned from open wheel sprint racing in Wisconsin because he built a rotary-powered car in the late 70's and raped everyone. I wouldnt hate on him, thats just ingenuity.

Thanks! I took a lot of time with the small things on this car, hopefully it pays off.

[SampaGuy]

x2 Its all just a bunch of metal anyways! And I bet if it was a LS1, nobody would be complaining.

[SpecV_Scott]

It's funny how many people hate on SRs. I wonder how many of them have actually owned an SR-powered car.

I put about 40,000mi on an SR, and only sold the car because the chassis was becoming too ragged out. The SR performed perfectly. I not only raced it (drag, autoX, mtn runs), but daily drove it, and made a bunch of road trips (I think I drove it to Orlando like 5-6 times).

Mad props for swapping in a reliable powerplant with great aftermarket support, that will actually maintain the dynamics of the vehicle.

[RotarySlave]

x2 Its all just a bunch of metal anyways! And I bet if it was a LS1, nobody would be complaining.

I would. The rotary is already a great powerhouse, its pointless for a brand swap. Don't get me wrong the SR,LS,2J's are great motors but imo its a lazy move. Then the funny thing is they still call them rx7's.

[green91]

Nevermind that a bone stock SR block can handle 350-400whp EASY with a simple MAF, turbo, injector & ecu flash. And do it reliably.

[skillzilla]

Don't get me wrong the SR,LS,2J's are great motors but imo its a lazy move.

lol

[eraser4g63]

To me nothing sounds better that a ported 13bt spooling up the turbo, and nothing pulls like one.

[skillzilla]

hahahahaha ok dude

[skillzilla]

Cold pipe done, vacuum lines done, catch can done.

[skillzilla]

I got my tach signal figured out, had to run it off the 180* signal from the CAS since Nissan decided to try and be special with the SR rpm setup. Once that was done I realized I didnt have any more wiring to do on the inside so I installed the ECU and kick panel and layed the carpet back down. It looks weird, hadnt seen floor on that side of the car for a few months :)

Also got the MAFS and O2 wires extended, loomed and tied away. Overall not a bad day at all, I got to rev above 2500 and test the BOV too.

[Epyon]

updates please?

[skillzilla]

Not a whole lot to update this week, doing clutch and brake bleeding this weekend and looping the heater hoses since I need to pull the motor to hook them up :(

[skillzilla]

I drove it this weekend, it was awesome. Drove it right across the shop and parked it :)

[skillzilla]

Took it to Import Alliance this weekend, first test drive! I almost shed a tear.

[JITB]

seen it in person.. it hurt.. but it looked/sounded great!

good job!

[DarwinsA32]

Bastardized Rx-7. not too many T2 shells out there and you're gonna downgrade to a 4 banger. I want to run you when my swap is complete, when i run a 9.5 and you're at a 12 you can tell me which is not a powerhouse.

[DarwinsA32]

What size Turbo did you put on that thing?

[skillzilla]

Dude its a fucking monster snail, youre in for some trouble!! Baller ass T25 running stock wastegate 7psi, dont fuck with this.


Seriously though, Im glad my car has affected you so much. And that chick in your sig is fat.

[skillzilla]

downgrade to a 4 banger.

This made me lol BTW. 4 > 0.

[eraser4g63]

Ill run as mine sits right now.

[DarwinsA32]

This made me lol BTW. 4 > 0.


a t25... monster.



My build is just waiting on my T2 block to come back from Porting.

Right now plans are

Turbonetics T3/T4 running 12 lbs, Nitrous Exress system spraying into Intercooler, Spearco 5-377 Intercooler, Turbosmart Megasonic BOV, Greddy Profec-E boost controller, all Racingbeat exhaust components 2.5" open all the way back... I'll be glad to let my 0 pissed-ons show you how inferior your swap is. :idb:

[eraser4g63]

I wanna run him with my stock turbo, It will be an even race then.

[green91]

LOL at all the butt hurt rotary owners. Fact is you can make 300-400whp reliable on a sr20 without cracking the block. Plus the aftermarket support is awesome, and the engines are cheap and aren't as temperamental as the rotary.

[eraser4g63]

^^ My car is not temperamental ( it just hates my wife). I can make 300-400 hp reliable on my rotary all day long, and have you ever done any research on the aftermarket for a rotary. I could be at 500+ with a simple turbo upgrade and new injectors, I choose not to because I am happy with my 250 on a stock turbo.

[eraser4g63]

BTW I am not butt hurt just want to prove a point.

[DarwinsA32]

How do you crack a turbo rotary block? I mean shit, you gotta boost to 30psi with stock ports and hold it at 9k for about 2 minutes then your exhaust will melt. but cracking a properly ported block is an achievement. Plus i don't have to worry about fucking up a piston, sleeve, ring, head, bearing, rod, cam... etc.

You got your shit twisted, time to hit the books and get the real info on rotaries. Can you rebuild your piston engine for less than a grand without MAJOR mechanical work?

[SampaGuy]

Plus i don't have to worry about fucking up a piston, sleeve, ring, head, bearing, rod, cam... etc.




Actually you're the one that needs to worry about something fucking up.

[skillzilla]

Thanks for the props everyone!! Yes, 200whp if Im lucky, lets go drift around 285 and see who the real man is.


BTW a 13B rebuild kit by itself is over a grand you douche nozzle, and my rotor housings were toast. Do the math ;)

HAHAHAHA OK you said rebuild for under a G, but whatever. Guess what, the motor I pulled out was a JDM 13B, and it lasted all of a month. Thanks for the info on used Japanese engines though, I didnt know you could buy those!!! lolololol

Just curious, how much of your own work do you do? Im guessing not a lot at all, if any.

[SampaGuy]

Even if its less than $1k, you have to rebuild it every 60k miles or so, while with an sr20 you might maybe have to do it once or twice in the lifetime of the car. Whats cheaper?

[eraser4g63]

Once again another ignorant fuck steps up to the plate. A well taken care of rotary can last longer than 60k. Rotaries are the same as any other motor just with less stuff to break when it goes. With that being said the fd motor is another story.

Unfortunately I forgot I only had a zip-tie holding up my fuel lines and one of them caught fire on my way back from lunch today. Engine is toast (lol :( ), chassis is probably a total loss as well. Fire was coming in through the dash vents by the time a passer-by with a fire extinguisher stopped to help.

:2up::2up::2up::2up::2up::2up::2up::2up::2up::2up:

Just my fucking luck, on to bigger and better things I guess. Liability only FTL.

You've just had your foot shoved in your mouth via my responses with every stupid fuck comment you make, so yeah... get sarcastic and throw insults my way. I do everything on my car except fabrication and welding, now go fuck yourself, and cry about your piece of shit sr20 turning into a bonfire... also if you pay over 700 for a rebuild kit youre a worthless cocksucker with no friends.


As for the stupid brazillian faggot talking about rebuilds every 60k .... you're a god damn moron, my 87 N/A motor is at 107,763 and still running great, its a daily driver too.

[eraser4g63]

Now there is no need for all of that. Sure he did what most of us would call blaspheme and I know I personally did not care for the swap but c'mon man the man's car just became a Car'B'Q

Dude you are totally right, I never should have done this swap in the first place I should have kept the rotary power in there and none of this would have happened. Im going to rebuild my old motor and do it right this time, let me know where I can get a rebuild kit for $700 I need a really good deal on one right now. Also I could totally use your help with the rebuild, you seem to know a lot about rotaries and I want to learn real bad.

[Boosted FC]

i know i'm right, and thank god youre coming to your senses, never should have ;)

You can call 866) 480-6602http://www.rx7restoration.com/image/9.gif and ask him what he can hook you up with a rebuild kit for, he's a good dude and hooks it up well for me, probably because i blow my paycheck there every week.

... if you're selling your shell... i might buy it, or if it's not too bbq'd he might want it.

lol just a lil bit...

[eraser4g63]

I'll be honest man I personally did not care for the swap, but it was unique. I am sure it has been done before and I am sure it has some benefits for this specific applications. Then again the Rotary has benefits over the Sr20. SO I guess what I am trying to say is that it sucks that it caught fire and I will be curious to see what you do next. Oh and give me you damn wheels.lol
