Has anyone ever tried to swap an engine different of the typical swaps we see today?

there's a fine line between different and pointless...the latter of which results to a lot of wasted money IMHO.

I dont care how fast you are going, just GTFO of my way when i want to go fast And as far as trucks not getting fix it tickets and fines for noise: If you live anywhere where ppl have theese big BubbaFvck hillbilly trucks, chances are your cops in the area have the same sh1t in their driveway, not a bad *** melon launcher sh1te 240. thats why you get the ticket and not hooter stumpfvck riding with orville pigdicker in the monster truck. just remember not all truck drivers are douchebags but douchebags love big goofy trucks, so dont hate on oatmealman and teh lumberjack.

ROTARY is teh suxorz!

muahah

actually, the 20bs came in the eunos cosmo and the 757 LeMans Car, but it has been swapped into both 2nd and 3rd gen Rx7s....you're right about it being mazdas rb26 though. i just wonder what they were thinking when they stuck it in a luxury car...

hmmmm ecotec? I mean it's different but come on, after all the custom work and money-it's still a 2.0L 4 banger...if you are gonna go for something out of the ordinary then go a little more outside the box like the rotary or the dohc v8 I would LOVE to do the JDM 20B rotary engine that came in the last gen RX-7's. Twin turbo 2.0L rotary, they are not very cheap though being the "rb26" of the mazda world. there's a fine line between different and pointless...the latter of which results to a lot of wasted money IMHO.

Let's say you end up spending $10k on a basic ECO whatever swap and I spend $10k on my SR. Sure you'll be different, but you're still getting left waaay behind. I'm not a fan of LS1 swaps, but atleast in the end you end up with some crazy amount of power and torque.

Its been done. There is a drag hatchback that goes to atco race way. the rear is tubbed out with those huge as slick , drag wing,fiberglass body, and that lightwieght glass.

Mr2 turbo has been done in a s15 by some japan shop
s2000 in a s13 drift car

or if you were a real baller you could drop in a cummins 5.9 turbo diesel

S14tan, you are by far the most helpful NICO member I've come across when it comes to simple "newbish" questions. Thanks for understanding that everyone has to start somewhere. Thanks for the help man.

If you want Rotary, RENESIS is the only way. 370 wHP with a single large turbo! Better if you can setup sequential twin turbo.

renesis is the worst rotary to swap in. if u want newer technology go for the 16x

this guy at a bar told me about this and i thought he was bull****ting me. but basically you're gonna have to have lots of $$$, you're gonna have to go to japan and figure out how to get it shipped back here, and i'd assume you're gonna need to know japanese or have an interpretor

and from the looks of the pictures, you're going to have to buy a rb26 front clip so they can take it out and do all the work...

this is the sr prototype engine in a d1 s15

someone try this. turbo diesel ftw!

Theres a V12 in a 240, Countless LS's, A few small blocks, a VK56 (not an easy swap), a number of VH45's, VG's, Ford 302's. 1JZ's, 2Jz's, RB's, Rotary, FJ20's, Toyota V8's. It's pretty much been done, however I haven't seen any Subie powered S cars, a M3 powered S car would also be cool, maybe RS4, or even S4 powered.

As to the Grand National engine, bah its still a rear sump so thats going to be the issue, possible rack issues, and it was the engine to have..... in the late 80's

V12 200sx http://streettuners.vidiac.com...d.htm

LSX's

Ehh I give up I dont have all day to post pics

More power then a C6 Z06 , in a S13.5

how about a twin charged 20 valve 4age with individual throttle bodies?

Everyone does LS1 swaps in 240s.........................

um....... no.

the way i see it, i'm all about the best bang for the buck, long term reliability, and something that i can fix with a trip to my 24hr autozone in case something happens. imo, unless the car is for show, being different doesnt get you any faster 1/4 mile ETs. i guess all that matters is that you're having fun in the end.

That's what i'm saying. Everyone wants to be DIFFERENT these days. Who cares? I could care less if i have the ONLY and ONE made wheels or anything on my car. I go with quality and reliability.

I'd rather bang that blonde, than some never seen unknown chick from Unkownland. Tested and proven > rarity.
