[AbadR1]

Ex Ls1 FD owner here.

[2MCHPWR]

why'd you get rid of it dude?

[The Phantom Gallon]

Ls1 FC right here.

He got rid of it because he was sick of driving a beautiful Machine with a god damn tractor motor in it.

Keep it rotary guys!

[AndreS]

not real active on here.... but I'm here occasionally.

[josh18_2k]

Same here...sorta...LS6. :biggthumpup:

[jab89rx7]

Second gen with carbed 305 sbc and t5. I have a strange vibration that's driving me crazy and I can't figure it out yet, but as soon as I fix that I'll be on the road with it.

[Rookie84]

LS6 FD owner here.

That strange vibration is the reciprocating motion of the pistons. Its OK, you'll get used to it. :hat:

[aussiesmg]

either that or the strange phenom called torque

[FadedFD]

Mines is in the process. The rotary is gone for sure.

[lt1_fd3s]

383ci LT-1 FD here, it went pistons 4 yrs ago...

[Whizbang]

may be LT1-ing the vert...

[P71]

I have 2 V8's with no cars and an RX-7...

I'm shopping for one to drop my 302 into for now, and maybe swap it out for my 401 later.

[sidzero0]

what is this 'LS6' stuff... im new with RX-7s and confused..........

[lt1_fd3s]

"LSx" is the low-end torque mod for an RX-7.

[rc80]

finally found my way over here.

93 LS1 FD

[Brent]

just got a new LS1 FD track car project. Can't wait to see how she does.

[cozmo kraemer]

I have an 1994 FD with a 2002 LS1 I swapped that is up and running. Bone stock (except the headers to get it to fit), through cats - 300lb/ft at 2000rpm. Made 327whp/327tq... It 'feels' faster than my 380ish whp rotary, but I know it isn't. Gotta love the torque though! It will put you back in your seat and it sure is fun to drive.

[RotaryProphet]

I'm running a Chevy Small Block 400 in an FB... runs as it sits right now, but needs a complete interior, and I've got about 8k in parts for the motor sitting around that should bump it up to about 600hp & 550 ft/lbs.

[NMJ87T2]

LS1 T2 here!!

[93silverbullet]

93 FD with an LS2/T56 combo here.

[Phoenix7]

damn, you all are making it over here in decent numbers.....maybe we should look into a rotary vs. piston track event. RX7's only! :lol:

Welcome and I hate you. :rofl:

Seriously, let's get some track events going. Get some side bets too!

[Max777]

I think that what's turning me off to the conversion is not so much the pistons themselves, but the fact that once you go LS1, you lose that special "love/hate relationship" with your car, where you spend countless hours, and an immense amount of money on constantly fixing the damn thing so it runs like it's supposed to...bwahahaha!

[evot23]

Just got here...

[SouthSideSlider]

[vel525]

Well, I'm in the process of swapping in a LS3/T56. I'll post some pics when it's done.

[FC3S Murray]

I am joining the club. I am going LS1 but am shooting for 400 rwhp.

[TitaniumTT]

[WE3RX7]

Lol... 400whp v8 :)

[acuracy00]

LS2 FD here from Wisconsin

[rotaryride]

In my opinion what makes a real rx7 unique is the rotary. That's why I love RX7's just because of the rotary.

[josh18_2k]

cool story bro

[rx7man1993]

I am in the process of converting to the dark side as the rotary community likes to say, but as I read a few post up, the fix or repair (costly repair) daily thing has come to an end.

I have a 93 BASE model I am putting a LS1 from a Firebird with a T56 tranny. Here is what I am doing to her!!!

Block Stock 2000 LS1
Crank Stock 2000 LS1 (Stock Stroke)
Rods Stock 2000 LS1
Pistons Stock 2000 LS1
Compression 10.2:1
Cylinder Heads CNC-Ported 5.3L Truck (Total Engine Airflow)
Cam COMP XR265HR
Lift .522/.529
Duration 212 In., 218 Ex.
Intake Manifold FAST LSX
Throttle Body FAST
Injectors 36 lb.
Management System FAST


Should get me into the 500hp range and 475torque. I am redoing all the wiring and doing a wire tuck so you will so no wires except those for the engine wiring. I am also going to put dynomat throughout the cabin. I am putting true duel exhaust with magnaflow mufflers. I am not sure which subframe system I am going to use as I have a few more parts to sell. I do have an engine though already. I already have a massive about of aftermarket parts that are on the car. Tein coilovers/susp upgrades, dual pumps in the tank, aftermarket gauges, sloted rotors etc....

I have been throught 2 rebuilds and I am just fed up with the hassel and headache over the beloved rotary. I never intended to going with the LS1 but things have changed.

Cool. You going to at LEAST upgrade the rod bolts since your engine year is the weaker series?

[rx7man1993]

I will be upgrading any issues that may become a problem. I am going to eventually twin turbo the engine also. I want to get into the 800hp range.
