1994 Mazda RX-7 (LS1 engine)
Hi everyone! Well I've been driving this car all summer and now fall. It took about a year to put it all together, but it's still an ongoing project. It's a quick little car, and hopefully more power will make it a quicker little car. Not much room in the city to stretch it's legs though.
94 Montego Blue RX-7 Engine: 2000 Camaro LS-1 Performance wise, the only parts that are still stock on the car are the breaks, but it stops very well anyways and I don't have plans to go to a track day anytime soon. Suspension - Stance coilovers - Racing beat sway bar setup, front and rear (I don't know what swaying is anymore) - Widefoot sway bar mounts (overkill) Wheels - 3 piece Volk wheels - 275/45/18 BFGoodrich KD rear - 235 yokohama in the front (need new ones) Engine - JTR 1.75" long tubes headers - 16" Borla muffler, 3.5" in and out - 3" exhaust piping - MSD Coilpacks and wires - Mototron 60lbs. injectors - F13 cam (not installed) Interior - It was originally tan, now black. - Seats: Leather with suede inserts - Mazdaspeed Miata steering wheel - Momo shift knob - JL amp, Focal speakers Now for the pics http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/7299/1002591wa1.jpg http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/5...2593cg6.th.jpg http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/6...2602as7.th.jpg http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/5...2596fz7.th.jpg http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/4124/1002600ro5.th.jpg Now the fun part, the engine. Let me make something clear, it weighs the same as the iron block rotory engine, and it front-mid engine car, just like a Corvette or SLR but it weights under 3000 lbs. http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3310/1002603nr2.th.jpg http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1703/1002604oj8.th.jpg Interior stuff http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/2...2608yu3.th.jpg Heres some magic Before http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/1...2609ii8.th.jpg After http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3425/1002610do2.th.jpg Custom shot http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/957/1002613ny4.th.jpg |

5.7l or 7l - they weigh the same ;) |
Looks great. How much did the car cost you all included if you don't mind me asking.
The RX7 was a fantastic handling and looking car and now the only part I hated about it is gone (the engine). Awesome! |

Dude, that is one clean RX-7. I think you did a great job with it. I've always had a special place in my heart for those little suckers =)
|
what an awesome job, i really love what you did to the car! hearing it would surely be something alien :D
|
:drool: very nice
|
Awesome car!
I looked into doing an LS1 swap into my 944, but its just too expensive for me to do right now. And considering it is my DD, I dont want it to be out of service for too long. Did you buy a kit for it? Renegade Hybrids sells kits to do an LS1 swap, which supposedly makes it pretty easy to do. |
Awesome car. Big fan of any LSx swap!
Are there kits available for this swap already? |
Nice swap! Those are some fat tires you have on the back. 8-)
|
Definately one of the cleanest swaps ive seen. Very nice! Have you run it on a dyno yet?
|
Very cool! I, like many, have always loved that car's shape and the engine swap is very well done.
|
Gotta love that power to weight ratio : )
So what became of the donor Camaro? Was it in an accident? 4th gens are getting old enough that LS1's are becoming pretty affordable . . . oh the possibilities. Great job with the swap! |
