maybe look in the for sale section... or maybe you should post a WTB, eh


btw, don't you think it rather odd to be saying "no replacement for displacement" when you've only got 1.3L ?

Dont trust this guy everyone!!!

The rotory would have to be the replacement for displacement. Its 1.3ltr but acts sort of like a 2 stroke engine wich alsways makes more power than a 4 stroke.

So that makes your sig kinda moot dont ya think???

PS: I just copied that moot word from the last post I read hehe. WHAT RX7 DO YOU HAVE? Because theirs no camoro flywheels on this forum I wouldnt think. Is the camarow forum not treating you well???

i have a 87 rx-7 n/a. I think rotary engine is cool. I know it creates more hp per displacement.

"best"

Best is a opinionative term. It attempts to describe what your feeling is on the best mod, but instead makes it out to sound as fact.

It is a good mod, but by no means best. You increase horsepower and torque, but also decrease available high rpms by having a larger stroke. Thus, to keep the higher rpms, you'd need to upgrade to a higher-grade metal for your crankshaft, a costly mod that could easily go elsewhere to make more power.

Also, with larger motors comes a larger mass.

You can add a supercharger or turbocharger to a small block and make just as much horsepower and torque as you would an N/A bid block.... so maybe boost is considered "best"? Nope, b/c it has its disadvantages as well.

Overall, though, (chances are) considering your V8 only displaces 350 cubic inches, your comment is really moot. I'd only be making that comment if I had something over 600 cubic inches... 350 is pretty tiny by V8 standards. Maybe you should replace your engine...

And VON.... I'm disappointed in you. 'Rotory'.... for shame!
