What does sex have to do with racing. Every time a well crafted vehicle vid is shown some pervert says; I just came in my pants. If that's the case we just found out why your girlfriend is having a full session with another John. It only takes you a 2 sec to finish. Now that's fast. Lol
@Get1337 Rotaries can get similar Peak Power but no mazda rotary can make a powerband and torque curve like an LS engine especially when it has forced induction.
@pumpitdown0x It's not quite "genius". It depends on your tastes. The LS1 simply outperforms it in every way possible. Some people are just closed minded and aren't willing to accept that fact.
what a shame,you should burn down that fucking car,rotor all the way,faggot,gay mother fucker,and for @bonestockrotorary,you are full of fucking shit,if you dont know about the rotory engine, dont pretend you know,rotor all the way you gay fuckers
I wonder how many people knocking this swap own rx7's. If you don't, and you've never dealt with the reliability issues, gas milage, oil consumption, and cold shutdowns, then shut the FUCK up. I'm on my fifth rotary powered car now. It takes a LOT of love to keep the wankel in there.
i like the ls swaps i have done a couple to fd's and i am looking for another to do the swap to. although i build rotary's as a hobby it just depends on how big your pockets are and who is building the Wankel and who is tuning it. with those factors at steak its hard to make a rotary's reliable, your correct. There are many out there who claim they can build and tune but cant. the ls swaps are a great remedy to this problem plus they are cheaper to build. i am a fan of both
why put this shitty motor in a corvette? they should've put a rotary in those. maybe its because of the power this motor puts out with ease at any rpm.
Not A big fan of American muscle motivating A Jap car. That said, This thing is mean! No wheelie bars, It hooks, goes straight. All on what looks like 10 inch wide tires! Kuddos!
@Rodger614 cause it has much more power, no turbo lag, and it is almost the same weight. Thats just the begining of it. Also and ls1 is more reliable than a 13B twin turbo
Ever tried to repair apex seals ( is it even feasible )? LS Aluminum V8's get better gas mileage than an equally stout FI 2 rotor. More torque at a fraction of the cost, especially when it's time for repairs. You would be stupid to remove a perfect tt rotory motor for a swap, but once the inevitable blowout occurs, the LS V8/ T-56 is a logical choice for a replacement drivetrain.
@MrSirekOne Try driving a laggy modified FD with only 400whp and then drive a LIGHTER, instant response LS7 swapped RX7 making 440whp with a STOCK motor and then say that. Lets face it, the LSX motors are the best thing that could happen to these cars.
@colindyvig I don't believe a ls1 is lighter than a 13b rotory. Regardless its his car he can put a turbine in it if he wants this is a badass rx7 this vid is 3 years old has he hit 8's?
@osp80 Yup. Don't get me wrong....rotaries are fun, simple to build and tune, and totally unique and enjoyable....but the LSX motors make a DAMN strong case.
@colindyvig well yea but dont forget there is the 3 rotor you could throw in it also... those actually have torque :p ... and like you said there simple to build and tune... I think they make something like 400hp by just turning up the boost... big single turbo 3 rotor have seen 1600hp and run 6.5 in the 1/4 mile ;)
sucks about doing these swaps is after you get your ls engine you need to swap out all most all the internals to low compression and then get your turbo system which in cost about the same to make the rotary just as fast or faster :)
@Tj1056 u dont have to put lower compression pistons ,just go either forged internals or keep it stock and not go over 11psi, u will never get the torque of the v8 with the rotary and with the v8 u dont have to wory about the seal blowing out all the time like the rotary's are famous for and most people keep the carburator in which i wouldnt boost that id go high compression n/a .... just my .2 cents
@thyreapu yea but then the rotary can do 7 sec with only 900whp max 1/4 mile while the v8 need something like 1000hp+ :p and if you dont want blown head or block you will use low compression if you want to make power like this like I said for these swaps
nice car, I like the fd I like the ls series engines but I hate the v8 sound coming from an fd. Its just wrong, it would be like a mucle car with a turbo 4cylinder sound.
This thing is badass!!! im american muscle all the way, but ive always said the 93-95 RX7s are Awsome,, they look badass, almost like baby Dodge Vipers in a DISTANT way,,, but to see one of these with a v8? an LS motor to Boot? wow,, thats a badass ride!!! oh and to anyone who hates on a car like this,,? youre an idiot! simple as that, and for bein such a hater you should be Grounded and should have the keys to your moms mini Van taken from you till you smarten up!! great car man!
@IRONSEAN7 I hear that. Some people can't accept a good thing. I love the rotaries as well, but the LSX swaps are probably the best all around options.
You kids are jokes. the ls1 actually balances the car more then the rotary. Better for handling, launching, drifting. etc. I am 100% import lover all the way. But the ls motor is a beast of its own and deserves respect from all areas of our world. You people need to start doing some research before coming here and making yourself look foolish. If you dont believe me just look for hinson ls1 rx7 autox.
@dannyk1087 no it does not... the v8 is a unbalanced engine design.... the rotary is lower point of gravity and goes in circles so it has no unbalance in it...
@RedlineXD if you maintain it good you dont have to work on it all the time. since ive bought my truck with a v8. altinator was replaced in a 6 month period so far and its an 89
Metallik695 is right. budzg check out rx7 vs any car on youtube most of the time the rotary powered rx7 wins. If you ever drove a rx7 with 400+ RWHP you would say HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!
@budzag This car is awesome. I don't know how you can say a rotary sounds better than an LS1. The handling might not be as good but if you were on a road course you would easily pull away from a rotary rx7 with the same hp. with this build he would atleast double the tourque numbers and that is what you would want on a track not just a 10k RPM engine that makes 100 ft lbs at 4k garbage! my car makes 300 ft lbs of torque from 2k all the way to 7k redline. lets see you do that in a 13b.
@Metallik695 Mate, my rx7 sounds alot better than this i can tell u that for a fact. This just sounds like 99% of all other v8 cars out there. Im not saying there nothing wrong with V8s just keep the rx7 the way it was meant to be. As for power i will smoke over 95% off cars that run on the road its so funny when people come acting like the big man and try 2 pass they just dont have a clue. Haha
@budzag funny you say you will smoke 95% of people out there and your car sounds good yet when I look at your videos you don't have a video of a 9 second RX7 or an 11 second car or even a stock car with an exhaust clip. no you have a home decoration video. Where is your proof?
@littleAE86thatcould ... so you know better then someone who actually has done it...
personally, none has ever said after an ls swap "well that was stupid i ruined my car"... no they all say that the rotaries are piles of junk and the ls improved the car dramatically
@osp80 I know the WS6/SS cars weighed on average 3500-3600lbs. My other points still stand. It's a heavier car with an inferior suspension setup built on an antiquated chassis. If you want a LS powered car that can handle a swapped FD is the better option.
@littleAE86thatcould There is reason, and I've given those reasons.Reliability, lack of torque, lack of realistic power potential(a 900hp rotary is rebuilt after every other drag run), they run hot, they pop from slight detonation,etc. etc. etc. You're video is cute but doesn't show anything new.A lighter car can have a better power:weight ratio with less power, and a lighter car has higher cornering speed.It had nothing to do with V8 vs. rotary and everything to do with light car vs. heavy car.
@littleAE86thatcould Simple fact is I have a great handling, great looking car that sounds great, and has a bad ass drivetrain that is superior to the 13b that came in the car originally in every possible way.
@littleAE86thatcould Light car that handles well coupled with a light powerful motor that makes more torque/power more reliably than the motor that came in the car all while getting better gas mileage. Why wouldn't you?
@littleAE86thatcould Im a true RX-7 enthusiast. It is naive to think that the FD was great simply because of its engine.The FD was great because it was a finely sharpened sports car with exceptional handling and amazing styling. It out handled cars many times its price range in its time and nearly a decade after it was produced. Its engine was a novelty, it caused many problems and gave lackluster performance and reliability. An LS swap is simply giving such a fine chassis the engine it deserved
@li7in6 you still dont get it. your wrong. a true rotary guy knows what to do with his rotary. who cares about cheap or reliable. a true beauty FD has a rotary. of course a Ls1 is better. put a ls1 in a 350z is better, in a s2000 is better. the engine is better. ofcourse peopole have problems with rotary on FD, they just throw away the rotary engine because its not piston. lack of knowledge. i hate that.
@littleAE86thatcould Who cares about cheap and reliable? How about anyone that works for their money. How about anyone that wants to actually drive their car instead of having to pull the motor when it pops for some stupid reason like a water seal. Those people care about cost and reliability... When you're on your 2nd, 3rd, 4th rotary (like many high performance rotary enthusiasts are) you get tired of pulling motors and want to put something that works, and works well.
@littleAE86thatcould If you're a rotary enthusiast then get an RX-3 or a first gen and tinker around with the 12a. There is no point dealing with a novelty engine with a ton of troubles in such a capable car as the 3rd gen when you don't have to and can go to a much more capable engine. I'm a performance enthusiast, I'm an RX-7 enthusiast. I like going fast and I like the car. I don't care for unreliable garbage under the hood of my otherwise capable performance car.
@Tazman125 LS series motors are more reliable, more powerful, produce more torque, are more fuel efficient, are capable of making more power and torque than, and are equally as light as the 13b-rew. Please explain to me and validate your claim that the motor is "crap" otherwise you're just another shit talking, know nothing idiot.
@versus4582 The suspension is the same and the weight distribution is uneffected with this swap. The difference is it makes more power and much more torque while being much more reliable.
Stop talking about things you know nothing about... PERIOD!!!!
@versus4582 ...It's a fucking drag car,DO YOU SEE SLICKS, DO YOU?
Yeah, that's what i heard mothafucka.
/Jokes
Wake up, it has slicks smartass, of course it will go straight until they put on road tires, just because it has a V8 does't mean, " Omg-it's-going-to-crash-at-the-turn!!!1!!1!"
@losganjaless no one that talks shit about rx7's has any clue about the 787, they're all fallacious pro-american idiots who hate what they don't understand
@LbsOfTech Not in terms of performance per dollar. You can build an LS1 to LS7 performance levels for less than half the cost of the LS7. Additionally the LS1 has a higher performance ceiling because its block is not bored to the limit of cylinder wall thickness. Thus the LS7 is at a disadvantage to the LS1 in terms of forced induction performance because of its block integrity.
Nice run, not a big foreign car fan, but I do love the looks of the RX7. And the fact that it has a 50/50 weight ratio front and back, the car was meant to race. It's obvious that it can be used for both for the drag strip and track.
Pretty impressive, i still think its a retarded idea, and your ruining the concept of a car. Wonder how long before the stress points and welded components fall apart.
@Gabrielillo1806 You have to remove the 12v power to the trans due to it will not shift under this amount of power. Kinda tricks the trans to think it has a manual valve body. With the power removed you only have 2nd, 3rd, and reverse.
FYI, this here is my car. Just finished the LS3 upgrade. Should have some better numbers this year, with some more video. Also have plans on upgrading to HINSONSUPERCARS LIVE Axle conversion. Trans brake here I come.
The LS3, LS7, and LS9 are the best powerplants yet! They are so underrated and detuned from the factory. With a few mild mods and tuning the LS3 will put out the same as the factory LS7 with ease.
V8 swapping an rx7 should be a crime, the whole point of an rx7 is the rotary engine, if u want a sexy v8 car go buy a corvette!

@littleAE86thatcould ... so you know better then someone who actually has done it...
personally, none has ever said after an ls swap "well that was stupid i ruined my car"... no they all say that the rotaries are piles of junk and the ls improved the car dramatically

@osp80 I know the WS6/SS cars weighed on average 3500-3600lbs. My other points still stand. It's a heavier car with an inferior suspension setup built on an antiquated chassis. If you want a LS powered car that can handle a swapped FD is the better option.

@li7in6 theres no reason to call rotaries carp also.

littleAE86thatcould 1 year ago
@littleAE86thatcould There is reason, and I've given those reasons.Reliability, lack of torque, lack of realistic power potential(a 900hp rotary is rebuilt after every other drag run), they run hot, they pop from slight detonation,etc. etc. etc. You're video is cute but doesn't show anything new.A lighter car can have a better power:weight ratio with less power, and a lighter car has higher cornering speed.It had nothing to do with V8 vs. rotary and everything to do with light car vs. heavy car.

Nice job. LS1 powered RX7s are tuff as.

@littleAE86thatcould Simple fact is I have a great handling, great looking car that sounds great, and has a bad ass drivetrain that is superior to the 13b that came in the car originally in every possible way.

@littleAE86thatcould Light car that handles well coupled with a light powerful motor that makes more torque/power more reliably than the motor that came in the car all while getting better gas mileage. Why wouldn't you?

@li7in6 your missing the point....its not an RX7 anymore. you have no idea how much a true RX7/rotary guy hates that guy^.
littleAE86thatcould 1 year ago
@littleAE86thatcould Im a true RX-7 enthusiast. It is naive to think that the FD was great simply because of its engine.The FD was great because it was a finely sharpened sports car with exceptional handling and amazing styling. It out handled cars many times its price range in its time and nearly a decade after it was produced. Its engine was a novelty, it caused many problems and gave lackluster performance and reliability. An LS swap is simply giving such a fine chassis the engine it deserved
li7in6 1 year ago
@li7in6 you still dont get it. your wrong. a true rotary guy knows what to do with his rotary. who cares about cheap or reliable. a true beauty FD has a rotary. of course a Ls1 is better. put a ls1 in a 350z is better, in a s2000 is better. the engine is better. ofcourse peopole have problems with rotary on FD, they just throw away the rotary engine because its not piston. lack of knowledge. i hate that.
littleAE86thatcould 1 year ago
@littleAE86thatcould Who cares about cheap and reliable? How about anyone that works for their money. How about anyone that wants to actually drive their car instead of having to pull the motor when it pops for some stupid reason like a water seal. Those people care about cost and reliability... When you're on your 2nd, 3rd, 4th rotary (like many high performance rotary enthusiasts are) you get tired of pulling motors and want to put something that works, and works well.
li7in6 1 year ago
@littleAE86thatcould If you're a rotary enthusiast then get an RX-3 or a first gen and tinker around with the 12a. There is no point dealing with a novelty engine with a ton of troubles in such a capable car as the 3rd gen when you don't have to and can go to a much more capable engine. I'm a performance enthusiast, I'm an RX-7 enthusiast. I like going fast and I like the car. I don't care for unreliable garbage under the hood of my otherwise capable performance car.

@Tazman125 LS series motors are more reliable, more powerful, produce more torque, are more fuel efficient, are capable of making more power and torque than, and are equally as light as the 13b-rew. Please explain to me and validate your claim that the motor is "crap" otherwise you're just another shit talking, know nothing idiot.
li7in6 1 year ago
@versus4582 The suspension is the same and the weight distribution is uneffected with this swap. The difference is it makes more power and much more torque while being much more reliable.
Stop talking about things you know nothing about... PERIOD!!!!

Wake up, it has slicks smartass, of course it will go straight until they put on road tires, just because it has a V8 does't mean, " Omg-it's-going-to-crash-at-the-turn!!!1!!1!"

LbsOfTech 1 year ago
@LbsOfTech Not in terms of performance per dollar. You can build an LS1 to LS7 performance levels for less than half the cost of the LS7. Additionally the LS1 has a higher performance ceiling because its block is not bored to the limit of cylinder wall thickness. Thus the LS7 is at a disadvantage to the LS1 in terms of forced induction performance because of its block integrity.

Nice run, not a big foreign car fan, but I do love the looks of the RX7. And the fact that it has a 50/50 weight ratio front and back, the car was meant to race. It's obvious that it can be used for both for the drag strip and track.

Gabrielillo1806 1 year ago
@Gabrielillo1806 You have to remove the 12v power to the trans due to it will not shift under this amount of power. Kinda tricks the trans to think it has a manual valve body. With the power removed you only have 2nd, 3rd, and reverse.

The LS3, LS7, and LS9 are the best powerplants yet! They are so underrated and detuned from the factory. With a few mild mods and tuning the LS3 will put out the same as the factory LS7 with ease.
