newbie 13b engine carbs ?

[MrHanky]

No problem.  Whilst I want to have a V8 powered car one day im with Skifle on this and say that I would stick with the rotary.
 
Like I said if I had the money I would port, ITB etc.
 
Handling can also be dramatically improved on these cars so you could also consider this.
I have the Racing Beat anti roll bars and drop links on my car and these make a massive difference.  Some Hawk pads, DOT 5.1 fluid and braided lines also improved the brakes a lot.  Also at the time added Brembo plain discs that were only £60 for the front and these have worked well on and off the track.
 
But at the end of the day do whatever floats your boat
 
Thanks

Thank you for all the advice guys, I do appreciate it. As I have the time and the money available I am going to go v8 on this. I know its against the advice given, but if I dont I will always look back and think what could have been. Thinking about what skifle says about the eithos of the rx7 I do agree, but I just feel this is the right choice for me. Tho I might be able to sweeten him when my 13b goes up for grabs. Think I will have to become a full member and start a build thread up and sell the bits I dont need

stick with the 13b, V8\'s go against the entire ethos of the RX7, lightweight, nimble and high revving. stick the carbs on there, port the engine a bit, stick some good brakes/suspension etc on and you\'ll be laughing.

Although, if you do decide on the V8 route... I\'ll take the engine off your hands

Just paid my dues to become a full member, thou I cannot work out how to pm you regarding the details of my 13b

Whilst i in no way approve of your decision to tear up and FC and stuff the engine bay with a V8, if you do decide to ruin the car with a V8 at least use a LS V8 and not a toyota lump.

Not a toyota lump but a lexus. Thou I will have to use a toyota box as the v8 lexus comes in auto only over here

Lexus = Toyota

Try giving bogg brothers a call there 4cylinder conversions usually cost around 800 fitted and setup if I get an egi I plan trying bike carbs but I have no idea if they will work ok
