89 rx7 gxl

[squatches]

traded my really rusted out Subaru impreza for this 89 rx7 the other day,  its the gxl so it has power everything, lsd rearend, dtss, aas, and its a 2+2.   overall the car is in decent shape it needs some of the interior pieces replaced, it ran slightly you would have to try to crank it for about 10 min to get it to start and stay on the throttle once it did crank up to keep it running.  After my last rx7 giving me lots of trouble i decided to pull the engine...

Very awesome. Would you know of it has the variable air intake thing?: most N/As after 86 have them

VFAD?  I think that only comes on the rx8's, it had a tube that went to the open part of the grille or bottom of the hood if I remember right and would open with a vacuum actuator at a certain time.  I think the turbo models got a variable air resistor to help with fuel mixture tho.  its been a long time since ive played with rotaries and this one is getting sold once I cut all the wires out of the emissions harness that I need to stay in the car.

tis a sin to pull a rotary in my book, but I will give it to you that they can be hell to keep running, Nice looking rx7 though, wish I had your rear seats, tired of mine being a 2 seater, always having hell fitting people.

eh I could careless about the this motor belongs in this car and shouldn't be touched deal. I see it as getting the car you want with the engine you want.  if it has more hp/torque, will sit further back in the bay, has more readily available parts, easier to work on, I see it as a win.    only motors that I cant stand being swapped into anything is a jz series, every fanboy is doing that to everything.

Dont forget the LS.

 

Nice build. There was a guy with an 89 at the local show with a nasty turbo MX5 engine in it.

I forgot about the ls but its not quite as bad as the jz series yet, ive always wanted to throw a boosted Miata engine in an rx7.  do a t28 with 1.8 block and 1.6 head, I used to run 20 psi on my old Miata before I wrecked it it was a scary ass car.

 

sadly this is the only vid I have of it.
