Rx7 With Gtr Engine


Recommended Posts

Was wandering whether it would be possible to take the RB26DETT and pop it into an empty RX7 FD shell then upgrading brakes, suspension etc. Or is it impossible to do?

Thanks!

Of course its possible. Anything is possible with enough money.

I think it was Sarus that also did a 26 in a FD, was a widebody conversion as well, midnight purple etc.

Looked brilliant.Wouldn't be particularly practical, and i doubt it'd ever be legal cause the 26 weighs so much.

But why would you. I mean other than so you could boast you had done the stupidest conversion in history?

If you want people to give you the "what's that bad smell" face, do one of the following;

- Take the RB out of a Skyline

- Take the JZ out of a Supra

- Take the Rotor out of an RX7

I think there's a few LS into RX7 conversions in the states... that makes more sense as at least your replacing the rotor with a more reliable engine... rather than replacing a motor that's prone to overheating and eating apex seals with motor that's prone to eating bearings

If you want a good looking drag car it's not a bad idea, but might as well use an alloy V8 and twin turbo. :/

The entire point of an RX7 is the handling and packaging possible from the low weight and small size of the engine. :yes:

    • Never, well......, some old BMW'S are kinda cool, like old Alfas and Fiats (althoughI would never own one), and I have a soft spot for old Bettles (punch buggies), as for the new BMW, VW and Hyundai's might be a blast on the track, I look at them like soulless tools
    • Standing around having photos taken on insta. (sad but true). Go to a track day, what is actually there nowadays could suprise you, you need to update your cool car in the hill radar to include VW, Hyundai, BMW etc
    • Hello again, I just want to tell you that i found the reason why my bnr32 is going out in right corners. I had my car tuned by a company and they fitted the Emu Classic and a new fuel pump in 2021. I checked the loom, changed the walbro fuel pump with a Deatschwerks fuel pump. None of this helped. Then I checked the fuel pressure and thought I was crazy. It was tuned with over 7 bar ( over 100psi) !!! But why? So I checked the fuel return line and saw that it was closed. That was probably also the reason why the tuner replaced the fuel pump, but he tuned the Emu with the 7 bar 🫣 The map in the emu has now been changed and evertyhing is fine.
    • I'm going to vote for considering going to the effort to close the lash down to the minimum. My bro-in-law got around to checking the clearances on the 3SGE in his Caldina. Was a bit fat all over. New shims at lowest allowable lash, and the car is remarkably better to drive. It appears that the increase in both total lift and duration that you get from doing this is worth a lot more than you might expect. I have been having evil (and expensive and time consuming) thoughts about doing it to mine, and I don't even think I have a problem. Not that I'd know, though.
