@se7ven33 keep the rotary, and do lots of research. by the time you finish the V8 swap, you'll want to sell it. I can almost guarantee you that.

@9010171706 Plus, it is in fact much more special keeping the rotary.

@9010171706 A 3-rotor is a more effective swap. 600+hp on low boost and well over 800+ on race gas, several street 20B's have made in excess of 1000hp. An LS is only going to cheapen the chassis. Plus, I have yet to see a V8 FD that sells quickly... they tend to be up for sale for quite a long time and i've seen many v8 rx7s up for sale about a year or two after completion and they were very clean swaps as well. 3rotor FD's sell very quickly

Exactly... it's still timeless. They still look as cool today as they did back in the early 90s. Awesome job! Congratulations.

@se7ven33 go with a 20b... keep it rotary.

[9010171706]

@se7ven33 I would suggest go LS1, its just more bang for the buck, and you can get significant power gains with minimal mods. plus starting off with 350hp is a little better than starting off with 250 or however much a turbo 13b makes stock (excuse my lack of rotary knowledge)

i bought a 93 rx7 about six months ago but dont know what route to take. should i go ls1 conversion or stay with the rotary engine?
