caca? seriously...caca....ok whatever im not going to even bother just go back to your daycare where you belong

You know, RX-7s don't have cylinders. They don't have pistons, cams, or any of that other stuff you have in your skyline or supra. They have rotary engines in them. Before you ask what the hell a rotary engine is, use google and search for "wankel rotary engine". Lots of information there.

[nissanskyline34]

i agree the rotarys in the rx-7 and 8s are nice but can you program those for different settings? can you bore out the pistons and upgrade the cams to give you more power? no and thats the beauty of a v engine

no you cant do that stuff but you can add another rotor to them and you can port them. show me a piston engine that you can add cylinders to. there is a lot more to doing performance to a car then boreing and cams. me personaly i would take an rx7 over a skyline anyday of the week and i love the skyline.

What do you mean by "program those for different settings"? If you mean change the ECU, yes you can. You can change the size and shape of the intake ports, which is the exact same thing as changing a cam. And if you want to increase displacement, you can just add another rotor. Please, try not to act so ignorant, it looks bad.

[nissanskyline34]

im sorry im not being "pratical" but a rotary engine and a v engine are not the same, no matter how "pratical" you are. now i never said anything bad about the rotary but i still think i like the v better and i am entitled to my opinion, so back off. i have nothing against rx-7s or imports or even domestic street rockets but i still like sittin in an old 68' dodge charger with a 426 under the hood and being able to feel the rumble through the seats, and a rotary cant give you that kind of feel, no matter how finely tuned it is. now before you post, notice i said NOTHING about how fast a rotary is and i know they can get faster than muscle but i am not concerned with speed, i am concerned with feel.

ive driven both the rx-8(my friends) and rx-7(used to own) and i understand where you are coming from, but still it doesnt vibrate it hums, and after about 2 years of the huming i got annoyed so i traded it for a challenger that was kinda beat down but still had matching numbers. i am now in the process of makin it a beautiful showcar and i have already rebuilt the engine, and i have to say its the sweetest i have ever heard an engine. dyno tested it at 808.4 hp and 635.7lb-ft torque. i got some custom built covers for the cam and custom headers that have hellcat lasered into them. i am a big fan of imports but i cant stray from my muscle car roots.

[nissanskyline34]

by the way what kinda truck does your bro have?

dude, whats wrong with you?

first you make comments about changing settings on a rx7 and asking if you can upgrade it, then you said you owned one?

what gives??

The BEST part is your engine dyno numbers, lol....
Why does your muscle car have such a high HP and low torque?
answer me that.... I'd love to hear the reasoning.

you contradict yourself pretty much ever since you claimed you installed a NOS-FLAME KIT on a supra.

I'm not trying to attack you, but just settle down with the posts saying things you claim to know, when you didnt... know what I mean?

but tell me about your dyno, why the lower torque to HP ratio?

[dragon4450]

dude i know where your coming form. my first car was a 78' monty carlo with full exaust and cams, super lumpy, and monstrous sound. but with the post you are makeing i doubt that you have ever sat in or even heard a ported rotary. i have heard a ported rotary that was lumpy and sounded like a beast. not a bumble bee like yours was.

[nissanskyline34]

Well, you see the reason it has such low torque is cause those numbers are on my top speed setting. i have a digital preformance unit that i can hook up and change the settings on the car, like fuel pump speed, max rpm, spark plug ignition, everything basicly. i have not gotten a dyno done on my max torque setting but i can say that with the engine at about 4,500 rpm the tires start slipping and the max rpm is set at 8,500. and about the rx-7 thing, i know that you can upgrade certain things on it, and no i never got it ported so ive never heard a rx-7 ported out, but i know u can upgrade it and i was just trying to make a point.

to incubuseva nice ride and thank god he took the camper stuff off, that was a mistake by ford for even trying. did he implant the engine? i dont remember the f250s ever having a 390 but i could be wrong on that and also why a 4 barrel and not a 6 pack? i would only use 4 barrels for double carbs. 73' is a great year for a custom paint job. great body lines and great frame stance. got any pics? post em here man.

to dragon4450 78 monty eh? supersport? and what do u mean by lumpy? no i have not sat in a ported rotary or driven one, though ive probly seen one at a carshow. my friends rx-8 sounds like a freakin motorcycle cause he hasn't upgraded everything yet, and put a glass pack muffler on it, which was not a good idea, it sounds like a......nvm, and mine didnt sound like a bumble bee, if i were to compare it today to something i would compare it to the sound of a porsche 911 or a boxter. (i have nothing against porsches, i love them, my dad has an awsome gt3 and ive driven it alot, it was the first real sports car i have ever been in, it sounds like a house cat's purr, and i love it.)

To all: i am sure that half of the people that have posted on this forum topic hate me right now, but i want to say im not out to make enemys. cars are my life, i would drive anything, no matter how beat up. i dont have anything against rx-7s and i have not said there is anything wrong with them, their rotarys are deffinatly not something to mess with, so please dont make comments on my car when you have no reason to.

I don't think anyone is trying to make an enemy with you, but when you trash on RX-7s, and make it sound like you don't know anything about them, and then claim to have owned one before, you make yourself look like a jackass. If you really did own one, I apologize for any comments I may have made about you, but I still don't believe you have.

[dragon4450]

dude i'm sorry but i'm calling big time b.s. here. you said you owned an rx-7 for 2 years but your profile says you turned 16 3 months ago. this is my last post in this thred. just so you know.





THE RX-7 CLUB KNOWS ABOUT YOU

nissanskyline34

are your spark plug wires connected to a distributor cap?

[n2o_matt]

wow - crazy thread. Lots of bs mixed with lots of truth.

As far as nissanskyline34 he's a little over the top and exagerates a ton but there is truth some where in what he is saying. There are flame kits like he's talking about but i've never seen any use n2o - but its possible as long as it uses fuel. No calling it rice on an xmod is a good call cause to me its rice on a real car. It serves absolutly no purpose and sounds very dangerous having a fuel/n2o line to you exhaust and all. I mean why, so you can burn a whole through the guy's car behind you if he pisses you off? Not to mention what it'll do to your own bumper. Now back fire b/c of a very aggressive cam is one thing - but they don't go out and say "lets put this cam in so i can shoot flames"

theres no way in hell that was thought up by foriegn minds it had to be modeled here in the good ole US of A

WTF - that the biggest bunch of BS i've ever heard. It was made in Japan by Japanese enginers with Japanese minds. Import have always been better developed using smaller, more efficient engines - developing OHC, DOHC, variable timing ect. (which btw amr enginers are starting to use.)

but I see your point... its not really a "rice burner"

incubuseva:
neither is a civic, accord, on integra. people just turn them that way.

nissanskyline34:
i agree with u with the integra, but the accord and civic are not good enough to be called american thought cars.

A "Ricer" is not the car it is the person who makes their car into a pos by doing things to their car that has nothing to do with being fast. Its that aditude that nons and decals make you cool.

Then the whole Amr vs Import vs rotary - It all comes down to one this:

"Speed = Money, how fast do you whant to go?"

what kind of speed?
strait-line? - V8 top fuel drag is the fastest
auto x? - probably an open wheel car with a tiny v12 reving to 18k

but really anything someone would drive on the street can be made with any type of car as long as they have money to burn.

The Following is strictly IMO:
Supra:
it is a import.... arguably the best built sports car ever mass produced.[/quote]
naww - too heavy. I'd take an rx7 over a supra but a skyline over a rx7. But rotarys are awsome - sound, feel, design. (i don't like the rx8 tho.)

each to their own.
