https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=120869 man, after reading this topic, I WANT AN RX-7!! but i know that it is very expensivse and may have reliablilty issues. so , is it possible to drop an S2000 engine in it? hey its a thought!!

 

are you super rich? cause with tons of money i guess its possible

 

Why would you want to there is so much more power potential out of the rotary motor.

 

For the cost of putting the engine into the car it would be about the same as keeping the 13B (the stock engine) running with around 400-500 horsepower for some time.

 

like i said, it is not as reliable...

 

and also an RX7 (FD) with and S2000 motor (F20?) would not be as fast as a stock FD.

13B (twin turbo)
255 HP @ 6500 RPM
217 TQ @ 5000 RPM

F20?
240 HP @ 8300 RPM
153 TQ @ 7500 RPM

 

just buy an S2000, Why would you buy a RX-7 and throw out the 'Wankle' ??? thats the whole reason to buy the RX-7

 

I want the "intimidating" body of an RX7, but the reliability of a Honda.

 

are you kidding?????, just built the FD motor RIGHT and the reliablity will be there

 

Yeah I know alot of people with nicely set up RX-7's who don't have much of any problems with their cars. If you go half a$$ on a S2000 you'll probably have some problems with it too.

Wether you get a S2000 or the RX-7 just build 'em right the first time and you shouldn't have any problems.

 

For half the price of the S2000 swap I will build you a rotary power plant that will withstand 400-500rwhp and not even bat an eye.

For a little extra I can make the 13 Brew put out 400-500rwhp.

Give me about two or three months turnaround time and it'll be ready.(FD3S parts are hard to source)

 

exactly for half the price of the S2000 swap you could have a POWERFUL and reliable Rotary RX-7.

With the S2000 swap you'll probably just have a slow RX-7 with a honda swap.
