Quote from: Anh;771431Understeer is not caused by having large engines mounted at the front, it is caused by loadings and the contact patch sizes of the front relative to the rears and this variates when you are accelerating or braking.

Maybe you should reword that, large long engines are one of the causes I did not say they were the only cause of understeer.

A heavy long engine that goes across the front axle/hubs and that is not confined before the front axle/hubs will have an effect on steering, as some of its weight is over this point. Its simple physics :Hammer
Yes you can negate the effects with suspension setup etc etc

I also said the original poster can do what the hell they want with their car, but I said dont expect not to be flamed on a rotary forum for doing it.

You talk about the smooth surging power delivery of a inline 6, what do you think a rotary is??, you can not get smoother then a rotary lol

An LS is a better choice for an engine conversion then a 2JZ as it is more compact and can be mounted before the front axle quite easily , but still I rather a Rotary then a V8 anyway :D

...so, uh, when are we going to see the first Diesel rx7? you know, because rotaries have no torque.

yip torque is for trucks,buses, heavy bricks like supras lol they need all that torque to shift their lardy arses :D

F1 cars only produce 250 to 300 foot pounds of torque,big torque not needed as they are quite light

By even "feeble, torqueless"  rotaries managed wheel stands.  Blitzboy was getting close with his launches at Japshow and Chris Impey lifts his front wheels until at least 100 feet down the 1/4 mile.

taking the .... with the torque thing :p i\'d much rather have usable power than a bazillionty torques that just spin the wheels and twist the chassis.
 
saw the pics of Blitz\'s FD lifting the front wheels, always looks impressive taking off!

Question to everyone what\'s best a fd with a v8 , more power, better on fuel , reliable or break and scrap another FD ? How many have been scrapped in the last couple of years alone . I "saved " 16 so far

I love V8 RX-7s. There, I\'ve finally said it :o. Perhaps I should add the caveat that I love sorted V8 RX-7s. Having been priviledged to drive Andy\'s DynoTorque-built car I think that it\'s an incredibly convincing vehicle, and I\'d love one of my own. Just not if it were my only RX-7. Awesome car, just not quite as awesome as fire breathing single tubby rotor motor on full honk.

Toyota engines, however, are best left powering boats around. Or maybe even mooring them :rolleyes:.....

No disrespect, but we have to define the word "saved" because putting a piston engine into an Fd means, in my dictiionary "death of an RX7".. So as such to me you are not saving an RX7 lolll:Ladys-man. Because I would rather see an RX7 in a scrap yard than seeing it being butchered at the back street garages....:chat. I am sure your garage is not a back street garage :bandit

So, putting a piston Engine in an RX7 is not saving an RX7 but destorying an RX7 "even more" and we have had already enough of it.... 16 OMG......

Bet the guy who started this thread wishes he hadn\'t.

I think to conclude - If you are intent on swapping the rotary with a piston engine, i\'d go for a V8 as it seems more plausable than trying the Toyota swap and people are a lot more knowledgable on said swap.  Seems also that the amount of work/cash/sheer time it will take to get round all the obsticals from the JZ switch you\'d be 100x better off with an LS engine.

Failing that... Tune that rotary and i guarantee you won\'t regret it! :Giggle
