I often think of doing the swap in a FC. An Ellis Juan only weighs 75 pounds over a 13B so don't understand why people bitch about the handling Originally Posted by Blitzed

I believe a ls1 weighs very close to the stock Twin turbo rotory setup in a FD. Anyone here able to confirm that?

This guy gets paid to drift... He is actually one of my buddies. I just sold this car, and he is working on a FC with a Turbo LS1 swap right now.
He use to complain that the FD (in the video) wouldnt want to stay sideways... that it would always want to hook up and go straight.
His name is Luke Lonberger. Below is one of his websites, and I dont think that it has been updated in quite some time, but you can see the build up on that car...

and
www.lukelonberger.com
This car was fast as hell... i think that it was one of the fastest cars that I have ever been in. I seriously believe that if he had slicks on it, it would easliy be in the 10's

A friend of mine is doing a LT1 FC swap. He told me the weight difference. That could be on a NA 13B though Originally Posted by Blitzed

FB = What refer to as a 1st Gen RX7
FC = 2nd Gen
FD = 3rd Gen

He might want to fix his website FD designation. The chassis is an FD3S, not an FD33 (no such thing). Originally Posted by baseballguy

Each to his/her own I suppose.

Way to ruin one of the sickest sports cars ever made. Too bad the original 1.3 liter rotary would spank the LS1 up and down that track

The FD RX-7 motor is a big fail. The LS1 swap is a reliability mod as well as badass performance.
