Motor Swaps
I know I am going to get flamed for this one.
I have a chance to get a '86 rx7, but the motor is close to being blown and since its an 86 its not turbo nor do i want to the do that conversion. I have a little experience with rotaries, but I'n to lazy to build one, and I just want to know it anyone has seen a 1.8 turbo motor out of a new 323 or anyother small turbo motor swaped in. I know v8s can be thrown in, but I need a car that can get desent gas mileage so it anyone knows of a place that makes a kit or a place i can get more info that would be great Thanks

Re: Motor Swaps
just buy a car with a 4 cyl turbo motor already, the custom fab of the swap will probably be way expensive

Any small engine trying to move that FC isn't going to get any better fuel mileage than a V8 OR good running stock N/A rotary.
My '86 Sport model got 30 mpg with the stock N/A 13B on the highway, and 25 mpg highway after the V8 swap. I really don't see any small piston engine getting better than that once you get enough hp to move the car well.

Re: Motor Swaps
my 91 NA gets 21-22 on the highway and 17-18 in town... but why not just buy an eclipse or something? you can find them cheap, they have turbo models, and they get good mileage
