1996 Mazda RX-7 Right hand Drive JDM with V8 conversion from Hinsonsupercars.com. Motor is an LS2 6.0L V8 from a 2006 Pontiac GTO. Just a short cruise around the block. Just installed HKS Hipermax III Sport Coilovers, and I am testing the ride height around the neighborhood, hitting some potholes and driveways at speed to watch for travel.

  • This probably sounds really sad, but I watch this video a lot, whenever I'm stressed or pissed off. Never fails to chill me the hell out. Perfect engine - car combo.

  • @squoblat No worries mate :)

  • How does it handle with the v8 in it? The rex's are nicely balanced before adding all that weight....

  • @InceroVideos Never owned a rotary FD so not sure, but according to HinsonSupercars (their bolt in kit) the V8 mounts so low, and the aluminum head and block is so light that there is no dicernable difference in handling. I've been told the engine is 130lbs heavier, to being the same exact weight as the 13B. So take what you will. Need to put my car on a scale.

  • @S0calCV check the grammar before publishing it

  • Im liking the carbon fiber body. sick as hell.

  • very nice! sick car for sure, how did you like the g-forces?

  • Beautiful. Just.... Beautiful.

  • @TheRealEquinox and @InceroVideos

    The all aluminum LSx weighs about the same as the stock 13b REW with turbos and as you mentioned the LSx sits lower and most who do this swap move the battery to the back and don’t run A/C. My car ended up weighing a bit less after the swap.

    13BREW = 400 lbs

    LS1 = 430 lbs

    There is no noticeable difference in handling characteristics from the stock rotary to an LSx in an FD.

  • when you want to sell it contact me

  • @InceroVideos because the ls2 is so light being aluminuim and they sit so low in the rx7 like there ment too bee there there is no noticable difference
