Sad News for my 7.

[Sunkenkarma]

Just found out today, after the car was having problems, that sadly, the engine is blown :(, Im getting a new job here in a week or so, so I plan to rebuild it, however, I have no experience with rotaries. If someone has done it before, and has any tips on what NOT to do while in there, hit me up. It will live again!:crazy:

EDIT: Update rear rotor is blown, with no compression, Tryed seafoam, same effect.

i was actually thinking that i might agree with this.


also, shamelessy stolen from rx7 club.



ok guys, a good friend of mine is finally opening his business and i thought i'd put a word out for him. he's having a huge sale at his place up by the mall of ga this coming saturday. i know it' kind of short notice, but i also know that most of you guys don't pan far ahead, so you should be able to show up and support a fellow rotary enthusiast who is starting his dream business. anyway, here's a "cut and paste" from his website, (RXZotic.com) talking about the sale on saturday, so i'll just let you read about it here. check out his site if you get a chance. he's still working on it and there's new stuff everyday.

I think this thread got hijacked, but yeah, a T2 swap is the way to go. That is what I am doing on my 7

How much are you looking at paying for the whole swap? If its kinda cheap, it might be an option.

[Justin51982]

I'm looking at $1500 Shipped for the full swap (engine, tranny, ecu and uncut harness), it also comes with a 90 Day Warranty.

But if not, I am willing to sell my NA set up. I do not know the condition of the engine because the harnesses are destroyed. But I'll let it go cheap. Might be able to pull some spare parts off it.

Do you know if it runs? or what kind of miles it had? But thats a really good price for the full swap.

[kain]

go on rx7club and talk to japan to LA. hes very reputable.

also most places dont offer a 90 day warranty. this is because most of the time its just user error that breaks the engine in 90 days.

i still say go to that sale and pick up some good rotor housings and some rotors.

make sure they are for your series though.

That is so true about user error.

It should run, miles are between 30k-55k.

yah, but how long was the engine sitting out in the elements rusting away internally?

[Justin51982]

For me, the engine I am getting has not been. Mine is coming with all service records, mileage, warranty and is still sitting in a running, unwrecked car right now, and no it is not stolen.

I talked to this guy, Dwayne, he is really knowledgeable and nice. Know's his stuff. Bump for a good guy to know!

[DieselNuts]

LS1 swap would be the shit

[Justin51982]

I disagree, if you want an LS1 buy a vette, you buy an RX7 for a rotary. I guess it's to each their own, but the way I see it, if you want an import, you buy an import, if you want a domestic, buy a domestic, but why take a domestic engine and toss it into an import. Just my opinion.

LOL Great minds think alike dude! :goodjob: Same shit I was going to say..

[Sunkenkarma]

UPDATE: Rear rotor is officially blown, looks like Im going to need a used motor =D.

[Justin51982]

You are welcome to buy my S5 motor if you want it.

[yomomspimp06]

there you go! just swap over the front and the OMP and go...Justin, you have a S4manifold on your S5motor though don't you?

[Justin51982]

there you go! just swap over the front and the OMP and go...Justin, you have a S4manifold on your S5motor though don't you?

Yeah, I do have an S4 manifold, but I was told an S4 mani can function fine on an S5 motor, just won't produce as much power.

[kain]

there are many reasons besides the intake manifold.

2600lbs and 500 N/A horsepower/torque. That's why.

[DieselNuts]

same goes for you

[DVSRX-7]

2600lbs and 500 N/A horsepower/torque. That's why.


same goes for you

Shut up. If I wanted 500hp then I wouldn't be a puss and build my engine!!
Then I would go Mopar instead of that POS LSx engine. ;) HEMI baby! :D

[Justin51982]

Even so, if you want that in an rx7 then you do the 3-rotor or a 4-rotor. If you want a domestic engine, buy a domestic car. That doesn't change it.

Not necessarily a 3 - 4 rotor. Any well built 13B would put out 500hp. :D

I said a 3 or 4 rotor because they can put out a lot more horsepower than that LS1 could,

How about me and you dress up like Batman and Robin and go rescue them? :D

[DVSRX-7]

True, but a 2 - rotor engine can too :goodjob:
Just look at my Puerto Rican brothers, they won't lie to you. :D

[DieselNuts]

sorry...I should have added "with daily driven reliability". How much power can you get out of a 3 or 4 rotor? I have a hard time believing they can make more power than an LSx.

Oh, and fuck a Dodge...

thats a pport running nitromethane. you dont need such measures to get that far on a v8.

[Justin51982]

I think we jacked this thread

we have jacked every thread in this section. lets keep jacken them to high hell.

And?
V8's would need a lot more upgrades as well to reach that amount of HP!

OK Roger, I need you to get me a buyer for my current engine, the two trannys I have and the stock NA hood.

I need them gone ASAP.

Is the NA hood aluminum?????????????????????????????????????????? ???? :D

Are the trannys in good shape??
& the engine I have to test in order to find a buyer. :yes:

Thank you for proving my point. Basically stock drivability on 91 octane. I bet it gets decent MPG considering the HP levels too. As far as the other video that was posted with the rotory in the BMW....lol, that [engine] setup isn't streetable for shit. Sick non the less though. That thing hooked up and dipped the fuck out.

Yup. But I know some people with Peripheral Ported 13B-RE engines daily driven and getting 18MPG. Not sure on HP but I know dam well it's well over 850HP. ;)

I wasn't aware of that type of efficiency out of those engines. How often do they have to be rebuilt? What kind of money has to be spent to attain those results?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a rotary hater or a V8 nut swinger (ok, maybe i am lol), but just an all around automotive enthusiast. I think one of the coolest, most unique swaps was the rotary in the nova (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcGZgz0yRbg) and the 2jz in the camaro (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=camaro+2jz&search_type=&aq=f)

I don't know which part of this statement is harder to believe, daily driven 13b-re with a p port or the 18mpg

[kain]

a 13bre in any trim can be making that many miles per gallon. just takes a good tune.

however all of this while on a p port? no

:blah::blah::blah::blah::blah:

I have a couple friends who have both MPG on a PP. Don't get me wrong it sounds wrong, but they have driven their cars for 3 years now with PP but one of them is a 13B 6port which to me is amazing. But then again they tell me that 18MPG is highway not city. It does sound retarded though.

[kain]

wait... what?

[DieselNuts]

Now, I am fully aware that this car is an exception, but the Ultimate Aero TT has a 387ci twin turbo V8 making 1287hp/1112tq while still maintaining nearly 30mpg.....just sayin...

Also, slap a TT kit on a C6 Z06 and I'm sure you would be knocking on the door of 1000hp while getting solidly over 25mph on the highway.

[DVSRX-7]

wait... what?

Yea what you read. Puerto Rican's like me will do this. ;)

[Machado]

Just installed this baby yesterday!

30mpg :D
