Boosted inline 6 = more fun than N/A v8 :D

I helped my friend do this swap about three years ago. www.supraswap.com

He doesn't update the site much anymore but the cars has ran just fine. It's sweet.

Just my humble opinion but an FD with an LS1/7 is a much better swap than 2JZ-GTE. From what I have read the V8 RX-7 is actually lighter than the 13B original on account of the aluminum engine block.

My guess is the suspension dynamics are better also with the V8 than 2JZ.

i am building a 93 with the 2jzgte.
garrett gt42 turbo
hks cams
hks cam gears
1000cc injuector
a1000 fuel pump
aem ems
head studs
ect ect
the whole argument about the weight diff. of a v8 vs. the 2jz could go one n on because not a one of us will ever weigh them!
plus, the whole thing of putn a v8 in a import just doesnt fit with me! to all there own, just the way i wana do mine i guess

ill buy your motor... 20B is so much money and custom fabrication i would just rather spend it on a 13b and get more power at the end. if you look around the forms there are geeks that have gone over 30,000 building there 3 rotor cars. its not a drop in swap

personally im a fan of the rotary motor whether it be 2,3,or 4 rotor :) but the 2jz gte would also be fun as shit to do. and another that i would love to do would be the rb25 det thats at the top of this page the blue rx7 on the left but unfortunately im not richh :( haha
