RX7 Advice...

[Spr-T-23]

heard they have REALY low torque, you have to rev the hell out of them to get any power. my buddy put a 3 rotor (i think) in the back of an old VW bug, said its sick. and as for the ex, wheres he live, im sure something bad will happen to him sooner than later....my sister dates guys like that, im getting sick of knocking them out, and to old for that crap anyways.

A guy I used to work with at Firestone in Mi had an RX7 he dropped a Chevy 350 into. He did a really nice job with it, the car was sick.

[Force Fed Mopar]

Wow, an LS engine in a first gen RX-7, that has to be a handful.

[Spr-T-23]

pretty sick, is there a dyno sheet for 1675hp? 8 seconds seems a little slow for an almost 2k hp car

[roachjuice]

nelson racing engines. guy is a genius.

Let's see you hook almost 1700 hp on street tires lol

How did the magic and triangles work out for you?

Magic triangles still haven't shown up here... Awaiting something with the title.

Since this is for the daughter (she likes the body style), and I'm not concerned with HP, a V8 is out of the question, but if there is a decent V6 conversion, I'd be all over that I think.

[Spr-T-23]

3800? leave it open for an SC later on if she gets the racing bug

[roachjuice]

Or a 4.3

[Spr-T-23]

4.3 is a cast iron boat ancor. not my fav engine but parts are cheap and east to get, order 350 stuff and throw away 25% of it.

[Force Fed Mopar]

4.3's are pretty stout actually. Plenty of 400 horse Syclones/Typhoons out there. But a stock 4.3 Vortec makes plenty of power for a daily and is fairly reliable, plus parts are everywhere.

[roachjuice]

Word. The late 90's were around 200 hp.
My fav sy

Posting from iPhone is preventing me from posting a video lknk? Well search for docs syclone on YouTube. 9.0@152

Nothing like fighting torque steer and rear wheel slip at the same time lol. Saw that vid last week while surfing the 'Tube, there's a couple rwd's w/ twin turbo 4.3's pushing 1100-1200 hp too.

I can see it. It inserts the vid into the post, doesn't just leave a link. Maybe it won't let you see the vid cause you are on a iPhone?

[shelbydave]

I don't know much about the 4.3. My buddy loves the 3800 in his firebird. That's probably what I'd lean towards if anything.

[vipernbox]

that 1700HP RX7 is unbelievably badazz....


But pulling that those stunts with oncoming traffic is more unbelievably stupid.. in a car that is as much of a handful as that one... Come on...

Have fun.. but only kill yourself please....

maybe. I know most Videos on websites don't work. Unless there is a YouTube link. Or something like that.
