I wish I had money, I would put either an E36 M3, or an E39 M5 BMW engine in one.

Torquey and flat power.

I think Z31 VG30DET have been done, but I am not sure if the actually TTs will fit without shock tower mods?

i have a few ideas, some have been mentioned, but at the same time, i already have engines and chassis floating around.

1. 2.3T. i have one engine at my shop, and another at my friends yard. I have been back and forth on using this thing, or just selling it seeing i got the whole thing for real cheap.

2. The reason i am not thinking about using the 2.3 is because i want to use the FE3. Sure, most people say it wasn't available here and only in FWD overseas. BUT it was the engine, in RWD format, in the 99-04 Kia Sportages that we find our 4.778 gears from.

why, well here is a comparison of Fe3 rods to Sr20 rods.

FE3 is the daddy swap for the 2g 626's (like mine!!)

I would like to put a stout F2T in one, but the DIS is a PITA to use a standalone with (Megasquirt), and F-CON is impossible to locate here in the states as well. If you convert to the distributor from an NA, you run into clearance issues with the firewall.

whats the deal with fe3/f3t never heard of these

djmtsu 07-26-2008 09:00 AM

The FE3 is the JDM 2.0L DOHC 4 cylinder Mazda put in the 626's. It is a very stout engine, and can take alot of power. Mazda later used the design in the Miata's, and Kia 'stole' it for the Sportages. There is no FE3T (turbo), only the F2T.

this is a odd post for me not sure if this is the right place, but has any one out side of pro rally guys made a rx7 awd? also any one heard of some one putting a 12a/13b in to a awd car.

SouthSideSlider 09-13-2008 02:34 PM

anyone thought of making a CA20DET powered FC? you can get a CA20E fro stanza's and S12 200SX's and do a head swap fr a CA18DET head.

I'd like to see an Escort RS Cosworth drive train shoved into a pre '86 rotary car.

My ex-roommate was working on putting a VH45 from an Infinity Q45 in his 2nd gen.

There have been theories of how to do an AWD, the Pikes Peak rotaries were one off customs.

I would venture to say it would be easier to put a rotary into a B-Series 4wd or a first gen MPV All Wheel Drive.

Think about all the spindles/hubs, etc you have to adapt to fit into an FC or FB. Then think about where you would find room for a transfer case.

warwickben 09-14-2008 04:58 PM

heck to make one awd i think it mite as well be easier to cut off the whole front end of a rx7 and a awd car. and just make a custom tubular front end.

djmtsu 09-14-2008 07:01 PM

That is what they did for the Pikes Peak RX-7's. Tubular frame from the firewall forward tied into the roll cage (from what pictures show). The FC was also rocking a 3 rotor.

What I could find.
