helllo sonners, im debating a new project. maybe someone can talk me out of it or. help me with this fun money pit.
so here it is…
thinking of getting a RX7 1993+ with out motor. and swapping in an sr20
need your advice and maybe some more information on this swap…
thanks a million fellas
not sure if many people have done that on SON. But my best guess is to go on RX-7 forums, SR20 forums,build-threads.com, and zilvia is a great resource as well!
Good luck with the swap, looking forward to see what happens!
lol. If it’s for fun, why not. but I hear the rx-7 doesn’t drift well (a miata drifts better than it at least…)
^ you’ve been misinformed. I know Joe from RPM was doing this swap, not sure if he ever finished it. From what I recall the biggest problem is making a custom oil pan to clear the FC crossmember
I know of one running around locally. As KA24power said, a complete 1 off oil pan had to be made.
Brad from drift posie did it up and its up and running mang!
LOL
Most reliable RX7 out there. And i say that knowing people with properly built 13Bs.
Nissan reliability has spoilt me. Suspension parts for the FD is alot more than your average S chassis though.
The car wont be a drift whore. im planning on finding a veilside kit for it.
any motor but rotay is fine with me, what i really need some some advice on a powerplant for the car
maybe this would inspire you in buildin a SR powered RX-7
not my words, don’t judge xd
A great chassis like the rx-7 fd, with a potent and reliable sr20det…why not?!
RX7 > Miata, anyday especially for a drifting car…see D1 for example lol.
man though, those d1 guys can make a Zunndapp Janus drift…
Does anyone know any wiring guys that could help me with this?
no one said he wanted to drift it guys lol
i was planning to do something similar to this but instead i got a mortgage and a shit box s14 LOL
if you’re going to swap in a new motor other than a rotary in a FD then go hard or go home.
2JZ x FD3S = MONSTA
tech2 has EVERYTHING you need. even the hood (a 2jz wont clear a stock hood)

rx7club.com is a better resource area than son240sx
dynamic motor sports has done one of these i believe.
be careful. shit aint gonna be cheap.
callme a purest but i dont like swaps with diff make motors…
iif any thing go with a 1jz (YAMAHA made) or v8
