93' FD RX7 LS1 swap, First start & drive after Heads & cam

[Curveball]

Great job ! How much has the swap cost you so far? I am thinking of doing this myself.

[f44life]

you left the fart can on there...now that is awsome

[nsaneon]

outstanding build! Nice to see I'm not the only one with hater comments from 'purists'!

[Red04MonteLS]

please tell me you still have that exhaust on it! it makes it look stock and kinda ricey, and then you blow their doors off!

[colindyvig]

Beautiful build man. I'm hoping someday I can find an FD in good shape, throw in an LS7 and a single turbo, run low boost on 91 octane and be happy with 800whp and 30mpg if I baby it. That's a ways off for me though and by then there may be no FD's left...lol.

I guess Hinson has an RX8 swap coming....and 4 doors isn't bad....

[rxtony05]

Sick... Do you have engine temp problems? thats such a tiny radiator :-/ Sick build either way... I've rode in one, the damn thing is almost too fast lol. Cobras, Vettes, Vipers, Ferrari... STI's... don't stand a chance. These kids don't know what they're talking about... Fanboys and Rotards man. I'm about a month out from finishing mine, can't wait to get out and terrorize mothaf*ckas lol.

[ShawnSubaru]

Y'all are so dumb.. The ls1 is lighter than the 13b... Obviously makes more power, and is WAY more reliable. Idk how he ruined the rx7... It's a lightweight corvette.. Not a pos rotary

[blockheadface]

@ShawnSubaru Let's not forget that it has the handling of an RX-7 (rather than the handling of a Corvette).

[ShawnSubaru]

@blockheadface exactly! It's the perfect sports car.. Kinda lol

[theungrateful34]

evryone who rotary gone through best bet gor for this

[Sto0pidPenguinPro]

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? You ruined the meaning of the fucking RX7.

[spoolinomni]

@Sto0pidPenguinPro dumbass. rotarys are for pussies.

[Sto0pidPenguinPro]

@spoolinomni You must either be stupid, or you own a Civic (well actually if you own a Civic then you ARE stupid....paradox). Rotary engines and cars take an entire different level of maintenance that any other car on the planet. I wont get into much more detail, but you specifically CANNOT be a pussy or you wont be able to handle the 7. YOU are probably one of the pussies who couldn't handle it.

[watchforfinger]

witch one gets better gas milage cause i know my 13b got shitty gas milage?

[xialong123]

YOU RUINED A PERFECTLY GOOD RX7! WHERES THE ROTARY ENGINE!?

[cRaZyMike920]

@xialong123 LS1 > Rotary

[xialong123]

huh?

[Rotaryisgarbage]

Thumbs up for this vid. Another Rx7 saved from the triangle nightmare.

[robertandreww]

very sexy car

[onlyfatties]

haha i like the "built, not bought" sticker. you are going to have fun! how much did it cost?

[K33G1N]

Gotta love Boston. "Foreplay/Longtime" ftw

[alphaj9]

time for some duals

[dual48s2000]

Your car is awesome, I have a 03' Tacoma with a LS1 swap with ported LS6 heads an a fast intake with bolt ons with a big comp cam an a T56.. An puts down around 445rwhp... This swap was well worth the $6500.00 I spent...! LS1 well worth it!

[idontknow5858]

jealous...

[finiata]

I could do this all day, but the truth is I'll be out driving my 450rwhp hot ass car, beating the crap out of it, getting 25+ mpg on the hwy, carefree while you are in constant worry of the inevitable, the day your weedeater shits an apex and youre out another rebuild. Now Im going to go start my car and cut it right back off, just for you & then Im going to go pick my GF up and go to breakfast, with no worries, we are done now. Seriously just off yourself so I can not send flowers.

[Rotaryisgarbage]

@finiata Fantastic response to the rotard idiots that wonder why people replace the junk rotary with a reliable piston engine.

[mrceleb2006]

Right.

[PortalRealm]

i would REALLY REALLY like to know how much was the swap. im really thinking about getting a rx7 shell and doing a LS converssion as well. plz answer!

[Oranger37]

the song makes the video

[jet2067]

love the number plates lol

[paulfenderply57]

the pissing contest no matter where you go on youtube is becoming stupid, can't anybody just go nice car, yah i like mustangs but im so dumb to think that LS engines aren't good for making power shit cam heads exhaust intake and you've got a monster, nice MX-7 should have went LS2, i had a rx7 with the 13b and a single turbo broke down way to much thats why i understand the v-8 swaps no matter if its a ford or chevy engine either way its more reliable and more torque

[mrceleb2006]

Have there vere been any Corvette V8 engines developed with Isuzu?

[OctoCroc]

those are AMEs?

[68vet]

Love this car, nice job.

What size are those rims and tires?

[vitaliykim]

Sick ride, man.

[Josama1515]

nice plate, what was the total cost of this swap?

[princeofdasip]

thats the stupidest thing i ever heard. lmao, (it wasnt anywhere near that loud) lmao that thing is so stupid, cobra would eat that thing and shit it out through the tail pipes

[finiata]

You probably don't even have a stang & I know your punk ass ain't got nothing for me. Cobra blablabla Always some kid think they have an opinion when in truth  they aren't worth the dirt God made'm out of, do the world a favor, commit suicide, before you breed, but wait till I go to Texas so I can come through cleveland and bust your ass on video. do you even have a car, haha

[mustang4sho]

@finiata Me and my Supra will be waiting in clevland...pshhhhhhh

[LiveWire8241]

@finiata As much as Id hate to agree with some random troll, he is right. Rx7s really arent meant for anything but rotories. If you want a drag racer then an rx7 is not the car for you.

[FDfranklin]

@princeofdasip

ever heard of power to weight ratio?

[aaronp1994]

@princeofdasip rx7 would own any mustang.

[Yaklich]

Very nice, but fart can? Come on man.

[aji8]

Very nice!

[hulkwillsmash]

Those shaved door handles look slick

[jmw23712]

The doorhandles aren't shaved.

[gator742007]

correct, that would be stock

[prixman300]

Wow your car looks nice! I just purchased a 93' RX7 shell this week and I'm doing a complete restoration with the LS engine. BTW, Do you have any mufflers on this car? I'll probably opt for a quiter exhaust. Nice work and video! Five Stars.

[prixman300]

I answered my own question. I see the single flow through muffler on the back. I've put some time in listening to Corvettes with exhaust anyway and I think I'm going full Magnaflow on my RX7.

[finiata]

Yes it actually has a 3" dynomax before the Apexei N1 GT. I opted for the N1 because it has the baffle that slides in and makes it super quiet. I only stick it in when I'm going on a trip. Thanks & I'm also doing a complete renovation, ground up. Moving all my gofast parts to a 10AE too.

[finiata]

Thats right travailrx7, fuel mileage, torque, HP, reliable, cheap to fix, tuneable everywhere, no added weight, better weight bias, ummm what was it I "fucked up" again haha, jokes on them I'm a afraid.

[travailrx7]

Some people are just fucking dumb souless7. All I have to say is get a fucking ride in one then you all will see why we put v8 in RX-7.

travailrx7(RX7-LT1 owner)

[endr1]

fuckin monstrosity, u completely fucked up the fd's weight distribution and balance now, if mazda intended for pistons in its fd's they woulda put them in. not wait for some douche like you to do it. every other numbnut that has done this should go hang themselves, u included.

[finiata]

Ignorance is bliss, again. You are the typical ignorant rotard. Do you get tired of being stupid or are you just so used to it that you no longer care? I'll not repeat why the weight is not fucked up up cause you aren't worth it. I will however tell you that I just got back from the Tail of the Dragon, and balance wasn't a problem, neither was fuel as I drove 411 miles, all the way home on 1 tank, 17.8 gallons, woohoo. That's 23mpg through the mountains in case your dumb ass can't do simple math

[spooncvc]

good job! a friend of mine is currently doing the same swap. so exciting!

[darkrx777]

Thats a last resort for me

[throttlehappy346]

awesome but why maffed? whats with the milo tin exhaust also?

[finiata]

Car sees alot of elevation changes, sea level to 4500', so speed density wouldn't work for me. "milo tin exhaust" don't understand the ?

[KaoticFdr1]

Have you had it tuned and dyno'd yet? i really wanna hear what numbers it puts to the ground...I'm waiting on my HSC kit to come in and all i can do is stare at my engine and watch the video's on youtube lol

[finiata]

438hp & 398 torque & it gets 23.5 miles per gallon on the hiway ;)

[ruthlessdet]

sick

[texashardcoreowns]

SICK is the only word..
