MY 13B-RE Fd single turbo build(standing up for the Rotary) lots of pics

[zerox7]

In the midst of a world of RX-7's with V8's, im standing my ground and keeping my swap Rotary. Thats the point of owning an RX-7, because of its unique motor and body design.

Although i have thought bout the V8 swap(ls2 swap), espcially after riding in my friends LS1 fc(making 462 to the wheels). I love rotaries to much to do that.
dont get me wrong, V8 RX's are fun and fast. but Rotary= PURE AWSOME.

so here we go.

My plan is build a Great FD that is track ready, yet streetable and looks great.

I plan on tracking the FD atleast 2 times a month. I want to prove to People that Rotaries are as, if not more Reliable than piston motors.

my Goal was to make 380hp at 11-13psi, but after more research on the GT35R, ill be making more than that

The Chasis: 93 RX-7 FD3S Base model. Silver with black interior. no sun roof. 90k miles on the chasis. Tokico whites with neuspeed springs.

the Chasis has been sitting since 2000. close to 10yrs.....
