mikey I say do the LS1 swap, because ive seen it in a newer rx7 and that thing is bad

 

problem is finding one for cheap and getting all the eletrical crap for it but besides that it would be a bad *** car

 

Bet I know a source of info and pats for that LS1 swap. 170mph RX7 is kinda cool.

 

I had an rx-7 in that color. Fun little car, I'll be the first to admit I wish I had held on to it.

It developed a front seal leak and I wanted something new. - My bad... Mine was an 84' GSL.

Good luck with the new toy..

 

they had turbos on different models but I'm going to save up and buy a turbo for it and a cold air intake, and a muffler. hopefully it will be running soon.

 

I still say ls1 swap. but its your car what ever makes you happy mikey

 

just wait and find you a twin turbo motor and get it as a donor to put in that car. the apex seals won't last in a N/A motor with boost..... alot of guys that put the LS1's in the newer 90's model cars remove the TT motors and harnesses..... just a thought..... you never know what yer gonna find once you get in Canada..... they always have stuff we can't get here....

 

well maybe you could get a supercharger instead of turbo, just a thought

Here is your source for apex seals. their very important in a rotary engine. i heard this guy talk at a airshow about rotary engines and is very knowlegable. he had these motors running against big blocks in the NHRA and he won a lot of the time until they got rid of his class

hope this helps

 

We got our own resident expert on these little cars in stock form right here in house. Just get a hold of Bow2no1.

It's a real pain to change a naturally aspirated motor over to a turbo, not to mention more expensive then it's worth in most cases.

 

Thank you for that bit of info. Because once we got settled, I was actually thinking about putting a turbo on it. It's still sitting on the trailer in the snow, and I haven't had any time to do anything with it yet.
