I would love to keep the rotary engine. But its the fact that nobody where I live works on them anymore. People have said that there is no reason i cant learn to repair the rotary myself, but i work full time now and its not just a matter of weeks to learn how to completely tear down and rebuild a rotary engine, when your me. Sure i could learn, but people that work on this stuff go to university for like 5 years for a reason. Also a person can be self taught, but that can take a quite awhile to learn.


Also one other thing, can the block of a toyota 3S-GTE take the pounding of a big turbocharger. I have a Trust T-88 34D Turbo, i was wondering what would have to be done to be able to use this turbo or could you just install it and be ok. ITs a massive turbo

To densosupra...yes i agree it would be a waste...lol i dont dispute that at all. he asked for info i tried to help him....if ya want my honest opion he shouldnt own the rx-7 if he doesnt want to keep the rotary. Unfortunately i know the kind of problems hes tlakign about as far as the mechanical inabilities of others and the reason i sold mine was for the lack of time i had to rebuild my motor and the fact i needed a car. so i sold it drove my friends car for a few weeks and then bought another car at the time.....lol wtf am i posting bout it for. damn drugs

I was wondering can anybody answer my question about the block of the 3S-GTE motor in my previous post. Also can anybody tell me what the dimensions of the engine bay are in the RX-7

Trust me I hate to give up the rotary, I might even keep it, but if I dont i would like to know what im putting in the car for a piston engine. That is why im asking these questions

3sgte's should be able to withstand up to 350hp stock. how about putting a skyline motor in it, the rb26dett. subaru wrx motor maybe? anyways, i would keep that rotary, rebuild it or something.

Crzymr2t......a wrx motor?.....come on....do you have any idea what kind of conversion that would take?.......ppl and half brained ideas....

If the 3s gte motor was bored out and fitted with forged pistons that could take the pounding of a T-88 turbo. Would the block still be able to take it as well. IF not where could a person find a block that would fit the 3sgte motor and be a strong block. Like would the block be able to take up to a max 26 PSI or 1.8 bar of boost.

you could get a KA24DE from a 91-98 240sx and rebuild it and have better displacement and maybe even a little better horsepower after the rebuild, and plenty of people can work on those for ya, plus you can get the engine for like 700 bucks, rebuild for like 1500
