LS1 FTW


that's the only reason i want an FC/FD

[TheDarkRacer]

rofl i like how everyone wants a ls1 but me... id take a rotary any day.... but thats what makes the world so entertaining...

[Jonflip29]

Nice FC, needs some love but what old car doesn't? Thats the way my TII looked when first got it, minus the rust tho. Definetly go for the rotary instead, not saying the ls1 swap wouldn't be fun as hell, but just saying that its more unique to have a rotary in your engine bay. If you want a head start with having an FC w/ the 13bt, mine is for sale. It has all the good stuff like lsd diff, 5 lug, S5 tails, single turbo, wheels, suspension, exhaust, gauges...etc. I love this car but need to see it leave. Good luck on yours.

all i got to say...........rotaries were good anuff to get banned from le mans........never saw a V8 get banned

only jap car ever to win le mans is the 787B

wow ls1 huh well all depends on what you use the damn thing for

Drag= 13Bt, 26B or 20 lol

Auto X= 13B, 13BT, 20B or 26B

dirfting= 13BT

if your gonna spend all that money on an ls1 get a 20B 3 rotor

but really when it comes to sports car does GAS milage really matter

Drag - the 13bt will suffice. I know my car is fast as shit BUT. A 13bt that runs under 12s is getting into the point of lots of boost, or lots or porting. That means sacrificing life of engine. And have you ever priced out buying a 26b?? Or a 20B?? And not just the motors. But getting them in the car?? LOTS of $$.

Autox- the 13b would be good if you had a light car and it was slightly built. N/A rotaries are tough. BUT, 13bt in anything other than stock form would suck. Stock, maybe. But making the kind of power it would need to keep up with an LS1 would mean it would have boost lag like hell. Torque > Boost lag.

Drifting - Again, the 13bt is nice. I love mine. It makes pretty nice power, and has plenty to get me around drifting. But the ls1 makes torque AND Power. And really, its not about gas mileage. BUT, Lets take bets on which motor would last longer. An LS1, with intake, headers, and exhaust, or my motor.

My motor was built by juan del gado (SP??), and it is strong, and i hope it lasts me a long time. And for teh price i paid for my car, i could not have done an ls1 swap. But honestly, the ls1 is kind of superior. I love rotaries. But you guys obviously are quite biased to them, like most who own/have owned rx7s, and haven't had to really look at the price it costs to make them truly fast.

Ok im done thread jacking.
