So I know V8 swapping an RX-7 turns it into a Corvette,
But will SR20DET swapping (or even 2JZ-GTE swapping) it ruin the spirit of the RX-7?

And yeah I wouldn't buy this one, especially for that price. But I've seen others.

Yes. You should swap an rotary vehicle engine with another rotary or experimental engine.
No standard pistons is the name of the game.

nice hot air intake lel
Aiden Moore
Holy shit move your CAI
Lincoln Barnes
Yes
Why do people buy rotary cars and get rid of the rotary? That's what makes it a RX7. Swapping it out just proves you're a lazy and shitty mechanic.

i don't get it that concept is perfectly feasible
Eli Ward
Swapping is plain retarded as its always easier and waay cheaper to build a rotary
James Butler
Where was he going with that intake? There's not even a hood inlet

Same ecotec fag here, If your actually into engines check them out. 6 bolt mains, integral girdle, beautiful crank, great head design.
I have seen a corvette with an ecotec swap that demolished an rx7 at the autocross.

Drop a plane engine in it.

Someone saw RCR too i see.
Like he said: People who buy an RX7 do it because its a rotary. Not to engine swap it.
Eli Morales
Why not do a 4 rotor if you've got the cash, more rotors=more fun and you keep the rx7 spirit
Henry Bell
what is efficiency
Angel Wood
Who cares about efficiency
Carter Foster
It's stupid expensive and/or difficult to add more rotors.
Easton Ward
Ayy fellow tulsa bro

26B 4 rotors are indeed an expensive endeavor.
however 20B 3 rotors are relatively obtainable and not out of reach financially.
David Fisher
They are like 5k an engine alone. Add the cost of adding all the other parts it gets expensive. And that's only if you can find the engine.
Andrew Russell
Engine swaps aren't cheap regardless of choice if you want them done right, the cost of needed fabricated/premade parts is inherent. Also personally I don't feel 5K is a lot for a standalone 20B, given it being JDM only.
If your looking for bang per buck, then yeah maybe it might not be your best choice but with the RX-7 I think it's worth putting more money into a 20B anyways.
