Ex Ls1 FD owner here.

why'd you get rid of it dude?

Ls1 FC right here.

He got rid of it because he was sick of driving a beautiful Machine with a god damn tractor motor in it.

Keep it rotary guys!

not real active on here.... but I'm here occasionally.

Ls1 Fc

Same here...sorta...LS6. :biggthumpup:

Second gen with carbed 305 sbc and t5. I have a strange vibration that's driving me crazy and I can't figure it out yet, but as soon as I fix that I'll be on the road with it.

LS6 FD owner here.

That strange vibration is the reciprocating motion of the pistons. Its OK, you'll get used to it. :hat:

either that or the strange phenom called torque

Mines is in the process. The rotary is gone for sure.

383ci LT-1 FD here, it went pistons 4 yrs ago...

may be LT1-ing the vert...

I have 2 V8's with no cars and an RX-7...

I'm shopping for one to drop my 302 into for now, and maybe swap it out for my 401 later.

what is this 'LS6' stuff... im new with RX-7s and confused..........

"LSx" is the low-end torque mod for an RX-7.

finally found my way over here.

93 LS1 FD

just got a new LS1 FD track car project. Can't wait to see how she does.

I have an 1994 FD with a 2002 LS1 I swapped that is up and running. Bone stock (except the headers to get it to fit), through cats - 300lb/ft at 2000rpm. Made 327whp/327tq... It 'feels' faster than my 380ish whp rotary, but I know it isn't. Gotta love the torque though! It will put you back in your seat and it sure is fun to drive.

I'm running a Chevy Small Block 400 in an FB... runs as it sits right now, but needs a complete interior, and I've got about 8k in parts for the motor sitting around that should bump it up to about 600hp & 550 ft/lbs.

LS1 T2 here!!

93 FD with an LS2/T56 combo here.

damn, you all are making it over here in decent numbers.....maybe we should look into a rotary vs. piston track event. RX7's only! :lol:

Welcome and I hate you. :rofl:

Seriously, let's get some track events going. Get some side bets too!

I think that what's turning me off to the conversion is not so much the pistons themselves, but the fact that once you go LS1, you lose that special "love/hate relationship" with your car, where you spend countless hours, and an immense amount of money on constantly fixing the damn thing so it runs like it's supposed to...bwahahaha!

Just got here...

not a V8 but i'm curently biulding
Volvo B5234T(2.3L inline 5 turbo) w/
B5254 crank
RSI forged H-beam rods
Toyota MR-2 supercharged pistons
Holset HX35w turbocharger
B5244S cams.("hot" N/A factory version)

Well, I'm in the process of swapping in a LS3/T56. I'll post some pics when it's done.

I am joining the club. I am going LS1 but am shooting for 400 rwhp.

^ hmmmm, so basically one too many?








:smilielol5:

Like a damn torn in my side:rofl::001_005:

you two are like a married couple..........:rofl:

Lol... 400whp v8 :)

LS2 FD here from Wisconsin

In my opinion what makes a real rx7 unique is the rotary. That's why I love RX7's just because of the rotary.

cool story bro

I am in the process of converting to the dark side as the rotary community likes to say, but as I read a few post up, the fix or repair (costly repair) daily thing has come to an end.

I have a 93 BASE model I am putting a LS1 from a Firebird with a T56 tranny. Here is what I am doing to her!!!

Block Stock 2000 LS1
Crank Stock 2000 LS1 (Stock Stroke)
Rods Stock 2000 LS1
Pistons Stock 2000 LS1
Compression 10.2:1
Cylinder Heads CNC-Ported 5.3L Truck (Total Engine Airflow)
Cam COMP XR265HR
Lift .522/.529
Duration 212 In., 218 Ex.
Intake Manifold FAST LSX
Throttle Body FAST
Injectors 36 lb.
Management System FAST


Should get me into the 500hp range and 475torque. I am redoing all the wiring and doing a wire tuck so you will so no wires except those for the engine wiring. I am also going to put dynomat throughout the cabin. I am putting true duel exhaust with magnaflow mufflers. I am not sure which subframe system I am going to use as I have a few more parts to sell. I do have an engine though already. I already have a massive about of aftermarket parts that are on the car. Tein coilovers/susp upgrades, dual pumps in the tank, aftermarket gauges, sloted rotors etc....

I have been throught 2 rebuilds and I am just fed up with the hassel and headache over the beloved rotary. I never intended to going with the LS1 but things have changed.
