Any pics? What are you planning on using the car for? And why not stick with the 13b and put the 383 in a 80's camaro or another cheap/rwd chevy?

I think I don't understand this thread's title

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

hey do you still have the s5 motor and trans from your rx7?? did you blow it up?

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

This is my summer project. I've found a 90 RX7 (non-turbo, dunno model trim until I see it in the next few days) for 300 bucks, I have a 350 which I'm in the process of rebuilding, and I'm going to be ordering the Granny's Speed Shop kit when I sell my car (hopefully soon).

It's a straightforward project with good results. I think you have no clue what you're doing, I think your goals are way out there and you should really figure out what you want out of the car, plan for it, budget it, and do it. Don't say, oh... well... I'm gunna probably supercharge it maybe if I have the money. Not going to end up well. Hope you come to your senses and twin turbo it. Have a nice day ;D

---- its hard enough keepin a 1.3l rotary cool in that engine bay.. i have a 89 tII that i have trouble keeping cool in the summer.. io have a buddy that had a 88 rx7 with a built 383 in it and a turbo 400 and he cant get the temps below 22 on a 60 degree day.. good luck on keeping it cool youll need a nice big alum radiator...

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

That's why you can get a nice thick aluminum radiator w/ your kit purchase. What damn temps are you talking about that would need to be 22 degrees?

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

sorry i forgot the damn 0 220 derees is tha better

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

The famous swap, almost if not more popular than putting a 350 in a old 300zx, hey if the rotary blows up, why not.

Check this one out then.
There is a lot of info on this site.

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

302 would be a better choice, with a t-5 tranny and aluminum heads and water pump it will weigh less then a t2

I like rotaries better NA. 4 rotor...mmmmmmmmm.

compression 9.5:1 good performance and not too high to where i cant add a super charger the short block is 1800 from revolutionary performance the grannys kit about 300 for the basic kit i know i have to get a radiator and drive shaft the engine will cost $4973.67 to build ohh yeah thats with tax and i have it all figured out i made a complete parts list from jegs with prices and part #'s and i have a 84 chevy truck with a 350 build by me so trust me i know more than you think.

I guess you stand corrected

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

sounds like you spent alot of time on the shitter with a Summit catalog and a dream

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

And sounds like you didn't spend enough time in school. Punctuation is a good tool, you should use it. So you're not going to get the whole kit from Granny's? That would give you the driveshaft and radiator, all your problems solved. Just because you have some prices out of a Jeg's catalog doesn't mean I stand corrected there buddy. I'll stand corrected when you get your ---- done.

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

I bought the radiator kit and driveshaft and stuff from granny's and i definatly think it was worth the extra cost. You dont have to deal with any problems at all. And the radiator looks great!

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

yeah i will buy the radiator from grannys but my buddys mom is gonna make the drive shaft at fords for me

Re: deturboing a mazda RX7
 

ohh and sorry assholes i didnt know this was ------ school i thought it was an internet forum
