spugen: it's new to me sorry

when something like this goes out to race at some track event, what would it be classed as? do they go by what engine it has, or the chassis?

They put that V8 everywhere! FCs, EGs, S14s. If it fits, it goes in. If it doesnt fit, they will make it fit, it goes in.

I wish i found out about this site before I sold my 240sx. And if you go on www.ls1tech.com there is a section where it is dedicated to shoving LS series of engines into anything. I think one guy is working on a prius. and there is one old SL. even a bug eye subaru

lets see, powerful, easy to tune, cheap to tune, light weight, reliable, oh and did i mention cheap?

if you're a purist then fine, stick with oem and spend 3x the money to get it running the same performance gains a LSx engine can give a car, otherwise dont hate the engine. There's a reason why everyones putting it everywhere, it's not just a trend and ppl do it for shits and giggles.

is it really that light? V8 vs a rotary in an RX7? I tend to see the rotaries drift, and the V8's just do burnouts and silly drags, but that's just me.

Drags aren't silly. Plus, yes it is that light. Even though it's a bigger engine than a rotary, you're comparing aluminum to cast iron (correct me if I'm wrong). Large weight difference. I'm not a fan of dropping an LSx into XXXXXXX, but it's not my car. Do what you will with your car, and if it's done well, I'll still oggle over it :P

from what I got from google the LS1 runs 50-100lb more than the rotaries (info's kinda hard to match up) and sits 6in further forward and higher. but the extra torque makes it quicker overall. interesting.


where do people get all these motors anyways? do Corvettes handle so badly that people total them all the time or something?

If I got a fd and i want to keep it I would get a LS1 swap for sure, its lighter, more power and its alot CHEAPER to maintain then the rotary engine
