hey im new to the forum guys, i have a few questions about the rx-7. i have a 300zx tt but im thinking about getting an rx-7. now im sure you guys know about the Top Secret rx-7 w/the 2jz motor in it, dose anyone know if you could drop a rb26dett in a rx-7, or is it even worth it?

 

Its definately doable if you have the funds. Ive seen Rx7s with V8's, the F22 motor from S2000's & various other swaps. Is it worth???.....Well atleast you wont have to worry about apex seals & everyday driving....

 

If you are asking its not doable. First get skills to do your own work. Also anythingis doable withthe right amount of money. srry if I come across like a ******* . I'm straight up e thugin it

 

yea, like already stated, anything is doable, depends how deep your pockets are lol

 

wel i do have some what of funds for a project car! at first i wanted to do the rb swap into my z but i wont have room to do more mods to it! i was surfing the net when i ran in to the TOPSECRET rx-7 with the 2jz motor in, so i said to my self what if you could do a rb swap in a rx. you guys wouldnt happen to know a good link so i can look this up a bit more would you?

thanx!

 

I will definately agree that it's doable. A MK1V Supra motor was shoe horned in so, an RB motor should'nt be a problem...As long as your pockets are deep!

 

I have seen SR20DET swaps in an FC and FD but nothing about the longer inline6 RB motors fitting easily into an FC or FD. it would be a tight fit but the FC and FD both have huge trans tunnels, so the RB trans will probably fit without any cutting. if you cant position the oilpan of the RB over the front subframe easily, then you will need to fab your own subframe or modify the stocker, thats not too hard to do. I think there is clearance in the RB oilpan for the steering rack but its not in the right spot to meet the FC/FD steering rack location, since the Skyline/Silvia have the steering rack towards the firewall and the RX7 has it towards the radiator.

anyhow, good luck, I think it would be a major pain in the a@@, especially trying to get the stock twins around the USDM left hand drive steering shaft and making room for the intercooler piping once you have the super long inline6 in the RX7 engine bay.

there is nowhere on the net for you to easily find the answers to your question... besides getting a good up close look at the chassis you want to use and the motor you are thinking about using... but hey, anythign can be built with enough money.

 

Its doable and been done.....acosta racing....http://acostamotorsports.com/index.p...showpage&pid=7

$74,000 top to bottom build and install.

 

thanx guys! you gave me enough info for me to take my next step. i have some thinking to do, might need to save up some more money but as soon as i figure some thing out ill get back to you guys! thanx again

 

dude im totally doing that... after i sell my parents house

 

Ha ha I knew the turbos had to be moved forward. I want to see one in a FC though. That would be a snug fit.
