mabrook man on the Fd,First one ,and if u add carbon fiber parts instead it will look more cool ;)

Alf mabrook bro, very nice choice.
Seriously, all orange is better..!
Just add some small black touches here and there instead of that and keep it orange.
That's just my opinion though.

Can you post some pics of the actual car?

Keep it orange, it looks wonderful. Some CF touches here and there, give it a sleek look, nothing wild and flashy. Best of luck with your car bro :up:

The FD is one of the sexiest machines to come out of Japan. I am not too fond of the rotary as reliability issues always pop up. Pushing for a 600Hp rotary is not the wisest decisions in my opinion. There are many swap options available including the all mighty LS1. A 2JZ swap is not one of the better ones due to many reasons, most important of which is that you have to modify the sub frame (in the FD case, the sub frame also has the suspension bolted to it.. so custom work here ruins the geometry) also, the 2JZ makes the FD very nose heavy.

My recommendation is that you swap the 13B to a turbo 4 cylinder (I can hear Ottoman complaining already :P ). The 4 cylinder would be much more reliable and would make decent power that you can use all day.. heat or not.. rain or shine etc..

There is no engine u can put into an FD without moddin the subframe unless it's another rotary..

come to my place and i'll show u why..

any engine especially a 4 cyl.. pushing 600hp will not be more reliable..
at that level they're just if not more delicate..

and it will cost u alot more to make 600hp out of a 4pot than a 2 rotor..


not to mention the cost of the conversion itself...



the reliability is a misconception.. as proven by Le-mans.. mazda being the only non european or american manufacturer to win..

and have the record for reliability.. with cars entered vs finishing..


the Rotor is not less reliable.. just less "dummy proof"

that's the difference

id love to see an SR20 swapped into an FC or FD!

SR's are great motors, built well.. and can handle alot of beating.. let alone being light!


it's been done.. and they got flamed to hell and back.. why?

SR20 is 205HP stock

13bT from Fc is 210hp

13B-REW on the FD is 255hp

FD can make 360rwhp on stock twins...


SR valvetrain does not cope well with High revs either..


why would you take a step down?

or if u had a FC.. why would u spend so much time and money and effort.. into taking out one engine and putting in another of equal performance? not like it'll be lighter than the 13b.. or more compact...


besides the fact u can probably never register the car again..

and if u don't happen to have an full SR20 swap and a Full FC or FD rolling chassis laying around...

why would someone go through all the trouble?

that RX7.. the engine is so tall that u can't close the hood ..

August 28th, 2007, 02:23 PM
so do u think putting in a 2JZ will make your gauges work?


gauge and dash is probably just some fuses or wiring.. not a big deal..


just do the reliability mods first.. and you wont have to worry about it..

Get a Koyo Radiator, upgrade the intercooler, make sure you have dual oil coolers (i don't know if yours does cuz it didn't come on touring models, but it did on the R1 like mine)

get a power FC,

get a bunch of gauges to watch the health of your engine (boost, water temp, oil temp, EGT)

change the stock down pipe with the crappy Cat in it... and heat wrap it..

change the stock AST to an aluminum one..

use a good coolant...

remove the air pump and get the pulley kit..

and you wont have any problems... and u can enjoy the car...

make sure the fuel injectors are clean and working well..

re-wire the Fuel pump to get full voltage..

make sure you have good grounds..

if u try rushing and start modding and raising the boost adn stuff without reliability first.. of course u will risk damaging the engine...

doing simple things first will help minimize the chances of anything going wrong..

listening to ignorant ppl who have no rotary experience wont help

they sell RX8's in Kuwait and Qatar Right?

they had RX7's and 8's in Arizona and California...

so obviously it's not impossible...

u wont know unless u try

all turbo cars behave the same.. the rotary aint different.. its just fragile int he wrong hands and it cant handle knock.

easy, let the motor run cooler.. im sure ur fuel is better than ours in bahrain.. so thats a plus, and if u wanna drive it everyday.. keep the boost on the low and retard some timing! not alot.. the engine can overheat with excessive timing retard!

just make sure u do it step by step. Don't just jump to high HP setups! Do it gradually and learn the system. Things will go wrong when is done at once.

The way I see it, 400whp is the most fun hp to have on an RX7 (Reliable, controlable and easier to achieve)

you don't really build it, its just porting and new seals!!

ok Im just being an ass fluffy, I love Samboosa (rotary), i think they really seprate those who know how to take care of a car, yet take it to the limit when they feel like it, and those who just shift to D and drive.

Sarz, KWT^350z does not baby a car and hence my advice to go for something other than a rotary. I agree that a rotary can be made reliable.. and that they are a blast to drive.

The best way to go in my opinion is to do an LS1 swap.

How do u plan on passing regisitration and inspection?

do u know u have to send your subframe to them for modifying

a T56 tranny alone goes for 700-1000bd

your average LS1 swap is gonna cost 25-35,000 dollars
and your gonna kill the resale value..

and potentially make the car no longer road legal..


u'd be better off buying someone elses Ls1 swapped FD from the states and save yourself alot of time and money..


and in the end.. the car is gonna sound like $hit..

Like a cammed LS1, thats whay you said.

no man.. Euro V8 with DOHC head sound completely Diff than an american pushrod V8..

my friend has an Audi S4... 4.2 liters 340hp.. i've been with him many times in the car.. the sound is Waaaayyy diff...


hehe now your twisting my words :P

I said a ported rotary IDLES like a LS1 and revs and sounds like a motorbike at WOT :p

why do people hate rotaries?

I think it could be really challenging to own one (or in some cases 3:D)

Not hate splash.. more a matter of practicality.. A rotary is nice to have, but for KWT350 it would not be practical. That is besides the fact that very few people in this region work on rotaries.

Ottoman, I applaud your dedication to the rotary engine.. and I really respect the work you have done.. I also as stated before think rotary engines are great.. Now in all seriousness, would you recommend a rotary to someone who doesn’t know how it works and is miles away from anyone who can fix it,, let alone the fact that he wants 600hp from it??? At least a piston engine is relatively easy to fix and frankly bullet proof.

Ottoman
August 30th, 2007, 07:38 PM
in Bahrain.. most of the guys who make "serious" power from their piston engines are no diff..

most of them are crate engines from the States as well

Turbo S2k motors, AMS 4g63 motors, countless numbers of american V8 engines as well always coming in...

the same can apply for rotary.. the short block is tiny... why not bring a "bullet proof" rotary the same way?


the point is there's not many Home brew bahraini engines that are "bullet proof" as you say... i've seen many 1JZ 2JZ and RB's and even V8's coming apart at the drag


whether it's a Piston or a rotor... high HP motors built in Bahrain don't last...period...

guys, sorry to say that i did and i`ll not think to swap my rotary to LS1 cause i want really to have japanes car... that what i understand

not because i heat american cars, but really if i want to swap to LS1 it will be easier to me to buy C5 from Kuwait for 4500-5500 KD and dont brake my head in swaping

and not that impportant to have 600HP, i bought the RX7 cause i like its look, and if i want to work on the engine ill do one of two

either swap to 2jz with 6 speed gear, or ill work on my rotary step by step and i`ll be more than happy if i get 450 RWHP on the Dyno

so Ottoman make your self ready as soon as i finish from the looking ill bring the car for you to build it right and get my target

thanks all

there's no such thing as a "bullet proof" rotary thats why.

even the toughest rotary engine cant handle 1 degree of knock. i overboosted once on my 2jz, it was knocking so hard the RPM's stuck at 5k at WOT and the whole car was shaking!.. bashar was with me in the car remember??.. according to u, u could hear the detonation all the way at ur place (awali).. and we were close to the roundabout close to 9a5eer! it survived!

now tell me.. if all the rotary mechanics in the world came together.. can they build an engine that can handle that much abuse? no, it comes back to basic rotary engine design! i must admit, a properly tuned rotary can last.. but, whos gonna properly tune it here?? and on our gas??

u cant build it right man.. with a rotary ur stuck with what u get.. there are no "racing rotors" or.. "racing housings" just tougher apex seals.. and tbh its a small strip of metal.. no matter how tough it is.. it will still fail with detonation and knock.

and about building it.. well, alot of ppl have opened rotary engines.. not one has been closed and fired up yet in bahrain! if anything happens just get a halfcut!

well there are some aussies that would disagree...

they have some guys out there.. using 3mm seals made of some weird materials..

they claim the seals will bend at most.. but never break...

but I have no personal experience with them myself...

btw.. there are Racing Rotors, and Cranks.. but the housings and irons staystock.. (they're not really a weak point to begin with after you've used an engine stud kit) but the american community doesn't use them much...

it's the guys down under that have taken Rotors to a whole new level...

Ottoman
August 31st, 2007, 02:15 PM
indeed..

if u wanna play.. u gotta pay...

only difference is to build a "race" rotary requires only a hand full of aftermarket parts.. and a porting tool HEHE :P


at that level of competition they can afford it anyway..


but if ur looking for a disposable engine.. than 2JZ is the way to go.. at only 300bd a motor.. why bother yourself rebuilding..
