lame. i wanna see an RB in that thing at the Shady Invitational!!!

 

a 13b TT. For those that aren't familiar, that's from the Mazda RX-7 (3G).

 

I want to go VG30DETT myself, but I like the idea of a more difficult swap, and something that hasn't been done a hundred times.

 

to bad its a sequential setup so its complete gabage singe turbo or bust. also, if you ever show the motor seom power maybe 25% of the time you use it expect a rebuild on the apex seals every 50k about. and the more power it makes the shorter the life span of those seals. however, i still love them. they just arent practical though. NA 20b however will make good power sound BA and be a little more reliable.

 

why not 12a? no likey the carbed up rotors



jk jk

(50k rebuilds)alot of people have been saying this just cause the saw how a rotary works on youtube(i was one)but i spent about a month on a rx7 forum and many of the cars never have had their apex seals replaced, even the 1st gens, and were running fine(i was looking at getting a 79 1st gen and it ran fine and had never been rebuilt, i know because it was my friends car) but exreme boost will kill the seals but the seals are more reliable than they seem

sorry snw...

 

i PERSONALLY know someone witha modified RX-7 FD3S with the 13b rotary. it was rebuilt at least 3 times in his ownership. i didnt say this from rumor, i said it from experience helping with the last change of them before he sold it.

 

i thought the 4 cylinder L series engines would just bolt up as well incase he wanted some mad storage space in his engine compartment.

 

if your going for a car with extreme amounts of boost its gonna need sealchanges like a racecar but a daily driver on low boost wont need em every 50k, screw high boost in rotors, thats what street ports are for

 

Oh and in my opinion...and being around RX-7's. The rotory engine is not practical. And also has overheating problems. I have driven a first generation '85 RX-7. And have ridden in a second generation '86 & '87 RX-7's. Besides all that they are a pain to change the plugs..lol Oh and just some food for thought. It has Ford under the hoods of those things. Another reason I am not a big fan of those cars. They still do look sweet though. But I am not interested in another nice looking lawn ornament..lol I already have enough of those in my yard already..lmao Besides that...one ornament...that would destroy my pocketbook..lol

Oh....and as for putting a 4 banger or an American V8 into a Z. I call it either..downgrading or bastardizing. But we have been that route before. I mean no offense to anybody..including you lifeguarddude in regards to you with the SR20..

 

lol ford didnt own mazda till after the RX-7 when the symbol changed i believe, and its a wankel! and i'll agree they arent to practical but are AMAZING!

 

the most HP per liter than any engine ever made!!!!

 

an L16 or L18 would bolt to the transmission wouldnt it?

 

well im pulling the 3 speed auto and putting a 5 speed manual in it. im wanting to put a v8 in it, a small block chevy or something, thinking 350, 454, etc. looking around 300-400hp or so? wanting to fix it up to run atleast a 12 on 1/4 mile. a 10 would be nice too... =P

 

whats the biggest HP number pulled out of a L28E engine? and @ what torque?

 

yay!!! i made one of these threads!!! its in the lounge and its called highest L series ever!!!!!

YAY!!!

 

REPOST!

 

really? I thought he was still running the turbo L28 in his 280zx.

 

Perhaps he was referring to the PS13 Silvia I drove back home in Japan? j/k I think he got confused on the RB20 I said I was building up to eventually use on my Z once this L-motor took a dump. Either way, I'm not offended! The SR is a great motor too.

 

Oh okay...my bad man. lol No big deal...it's all good bro'.

 

What engines bolt into a 280ZX?

 

What's a 280zx?
