doe\'s anybody have any pics of the rx7 which had a cosworth engine in it??
if so can thay email them to me or post so i can have a look.
Alan :mmmm
That was Ben Linney\'s car i believe as i looked into buying it when it was up for sale, i think since then the engine has been changed to something else non-rotary.
See if i have any pics :
thanks mate, do you know what it went like??
does anybody have a close up of the engine bay???

When i spoke with Ben about it was about 420bhp @ fly, i will send a email to Ben to direct him to this thread mate :cool
If your think cossie please remember when running bhp like that you can make a cup of tea before it makes boost. Driven a mates well sorted cossie and just couldn\'t live with the lag he has, its monumental !

as everyone has probably said before THATS JUST WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!
I dont realy think it can be called a rx7 anymore without a rotary engine, may look nice and be quick and everything but kills the identity and meaning of the car.

On the flip side its also unique to an extent :cheers

putting a ford engine in a jap car is like having your girlfriends breasts reduced

In that case - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :Giggle
Doesn\'t the engine have a 6.something compression so they can run high boost?! :3Confused
Brett : tell me more about this diesel stuff :chat

actually it\'s a 7.2 ratio :Grrr

i take it you\'v not heard of ALS (ANTI-LAG SYSTEMS):Grrr
Im sorry, once it was on boost it was fab. He rebuilds his own engine and I think when i drove it there was a GT35 fit with the boost running at 43psi. Thats the main reason why it took so darn long. Mine with stock twins can be instant at any point between 2.5k and 7.5k. His boosted from 5.5k, not good.
I did say to him I could make a cup of tea. He promptly took me out and drifted brilliantly round a small roundabout and promptly dropped a gear on the way out and broke the diff which he had fitted the day before !
When you mean anti lag you mean change down a couple of gears :Giggle
Don\'t get me wrong when its hooked up its as good a a sorted rex but gear choice is much more required.
Shaun
sorry to invade but whats the simplest form of rotary engine ?? something without a tubby that i could make fit in a ?????
43 PSI that like 3 bar and then some...
im looking for big power and reliably and my rx7 with its t70 is not up to it and has broke more time than i can remember, i did not have this sh*t with the cosworth just RUST.
I do like it, just couldn\'t live with it as my own. The spool sounds fab, but the time it took to get there was scarey.
Simplest engine for the FD as a n/a would either be the FD engine with High compression rotors out of the FC EGI. Running PP :D Or do it proper and fit a 20b with a PP :D

the diesel from the 330 would be good for nice low down torque :Giggle
im sure iv sen a rex with a supra lump in, altho it would really spoil the car , i think if you dont want a rex with a rex engine buy somthing eles
