Why do purists get buttmad when people LS swap JDM cars?

It's not your property, so why give a fuck?
I plan on LS swapping my next gook car, probably the RX7. Way cheaper to maintain, powerful and reliable engine.

Do your solution is to fuck the balance all to hell? Wouldn't buying oil be cheaper than buying a new engine, suspension, engine mounts, custom wiring harness, modified firewall, and transmission?

GM engine is not GM chassis

Engine swaps exist because manufacturers trying to shoot for demographics and shit won't always give you exactly what you want at your price point

>>17654257
Maintaining a rotary costs a couple grand a year in oil, extra burnt gas, plugs, coils, and apex seals
>>
>>17654260
My flat mates fd is 120000ks without a rebuild and still starts fine. It gets the same fuel economy as my twin turbo z although it can't be hypermiled as easily.

As long as you do the life support mods and keep up with maintenance it's no more unreliable than any other 90s sports car

>>17654268
The rebuild is only like $500-800 of that couple grand you're spending over a petrol engine with similar output

So it's cheaper to spend 9 grand minus the engine and transmission? LSfags are so fucking stupid.

>>17654257

How is it cheaper in the long term to maintain a Rotatory engine? Eats up more fuel and oil than a V6 or V8 and gives out a lot less performance.

>>17654175
It's all about balance, sports cars are highly refined to have a nice balance between all their components from the factory. Everything is matched together nicely and it takes years of development (not to mention the years of experience) to achieve that balance.

When you do any modifications to a sports car you are jeopardizing that balance. Trusted aftermarket manufacturers and trusted tuners have also put in a lot of development (and experience) to try and maintain a good balance with their upgrades, however their upgrades are usually fairly minor - in order to keep that balance.

Swapping an entirely different motor, - not just different dimensionally but completely different characteristically, is a massive change to make on a sports car and it may take a lot of work to get the car back into a good drivable balance again.

I have actually spent a lot of time and effort bringing my MR2 back to as close to stock as I can get it.
I literally don't care what you do to your RX-7 I'm just telling you my knowledge about cars, balance and engine swaps.

He's a good example for anyone interested:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy1GKdyu7QE
Two KP-61 Starlets:
>one with the stock motor highly modified and the rest of the car to suit
>one with a 4AGZE with the rest of the car modified (butchered) to suit
The 4AGZE ran a slightly faster lap time as expected for the extra power but which one do you think Dorikin enjoyed driving more????

the pleasure comes from his bias towards purity. a non-purist would take more pleasure in driving a work of ingenuity and dedication.

that enjoyment is purely subjective

however, the lap time is not.
>>
>>17654518
>the pleasure comes from his bias towards purity
Speaking of subjective: That's your subjective opinion.

Now I happen to know a fair bit about Dorikin and a fair bit about driving fast and let me tell you my subjective opinion from that video:
>Tsuchiya enjoys the 4K-U Starlet more because he is an expert race car driver and it is a well balanced car. His enjoyment comes from using all the techniques he has developed, from racing cars, to drive the car faster.
He was not able to use those same techniques on the 4AGZE Starlet because it was not well balanced, particularly in the brake bias thanks to an AE86 diff conversion needed to handle the extra torque, so he instead relied on the cars raw power to set the faster lap time.
>>
>>17654499

Yeah, except the swap one has more than double the horse power. Try to put a Turbo in a fucking Dorito engine, and see how reliable it is. Comsuption is already bad in the dorito in a base.

If you do it before you blow an apex seal all you have to do is reseal it, it only gets expensive if an apex seal goes and you have to replace one or both rotor housings and possibly a rotor. Plus while it's apart you can bridgeport the housings and make a lot more power.
>>
>>17654650
You still need apex seals, rotor and housing, last I check a NOS rotor and housing runs about 1600 dollars
>>
>>17654661
>bridge port
>make more power
Yeah and lose what little torque and drivability you ever had, lmfao
>>
>>17654664
>only the seals are bad
Lol
Yeah, and when you rebuild a piston engine all you need is new rings and to resurface the cylinders with a dingle ball hone.
Same level of ghetto half assery, and it would still be cheaper on a piston engine since rings are like 40 bucks a set and apex seals are 5 times that
>>
>>17654646
Do it. I'm still saying you can't afford it.
>>
>>17654663
You can get a LOT of low end torque in a high overlap engine. The trick is that you lose out on power at low throttle openings.
>>
>>17654675
You don't ever need new valve springs unless one breaks or you're replacing the cam with something more aggressive.
Also bearings and thrust washer are rarely ever out of spec, bottom ends are rarely an issue.
Even if they were out of spec a bearing set is again 40 dollars.
>>
>It's another ''Weebs can't admit the Rotatory engine is a terribly inefficient piece of crap'' episode.
>>
>>17654689
Yeah and you don't need new pistons either right?
Just new rings and a quick ball hone.
You're pushing a half ass rebuild for the rotary and then insisting on a full rebuild with new parts for the piston motor.
You're making false comparisons.
A realistic comparison would be new rings and a ball hone on a piston engine, which I will say is actually a pretty commonly done thing, you can even do it with the engine in the car most of the time.

Rotors break all the time when the apex seals tear them apart, very common for the rotor to be destroyed when the seals fail, along with the housing.

Also, unlike the 944 and the Daytona, RX-7 have a YUGE aftermarket that's pretty affordable, compared to fucking Porsche parts.

Straight out bullshiting, I see. LS1 engines make 350, and up to 400+ with a carb easy. Good luck making a fucking Rotatory do that while being as fucking efficient and reliable as a V8.
>>
>>17654733
>scratched rotor
Since when does an apex seal failing simply scratch the rotor and not cause deep gouging/total destruction?

Also rods typically don't fail, the part of an engine mode likely to wear out or fail is the piston rings and valves/valve seats
The only original parts left in my 22r is the crank, block and rods, and it still only cost me 1000 dollars including the machine work.
>>
The thread got derailed, but I'll let my two cents in.

Someone said you can put in a Mustang trans in a Crown Box, and they also said you can put in a Coyote 5.0 engine as well. At that point, you have a heavier Mustang that has even worse handling, so why not just get a proper Mustang? The problem with LS swaps is that they're so overdone, it's literally the bacon of engines. It's disappointing to see something like WICKED CAMRY RUNNING 8s UNBELIEVABLE and then reveal its an LS1 swap, of fucking course.

So basically, you admit it is impossible to have as much power as a V8 with the fuel efficiency and reliability on a Dorito engine, so you decide to change the goalposts in hopes your weird compatriots will chime in to support your bullshit.

If you're not premixing with a rotary you're dumb. Helps with reliability. There's even a Sohn adapter that adds a reservoir you put 2 stroke oil into instead of drawing oil from the pan for the OMP system and meters it properly for you.

Base FC vs Base 944. Isn't the Porsche a better car overall?

Honestly asking, I cannot find good sources. All I know is that the FC was to supposed to be a budget competitor to the Porsche, correct?

Was the Porsche actually better?
>>
A LS swapped jdm Honda Integra type r is one of my dream projects. All that horsepower wrapped in a JDM rhd package. It would be stupid expensive to do but it would be pure magic to drive
>>
>>17655414
TurboII FC fucking demolished the 944.
>>
>>17655430

Yeah, but I need to know about the base models. Not interested in either the FC Turbo II or the 944 Turbo. Since I plan on LS swaping in the future...no point in paying extra for Turbo. Also, I've heard the FC Turbo is super unreliable.
If someone finds a good source comparison between both base models, please do share. Both the FC and 944 pretty much run at the same price in here.
>>
>>17655414
Reviewers called the 944 "the best handling car of its time" pretty often. Suspension between the two is pretty similar from what I can tell, weight distribution is near enough 50/50 for both, but the RX7 uses a traditional north-south transmission whereas the 944 uses a torque tube and a modified Audi 2WD transmission between the rear wheels.

>>17655430
The Turbo II was going up against the 944 Turbo or 944 S2, no?

>>
>>17655448
>Since I plan on LS swaping in the future...no point in paying extra for Turbo
The 944's stock transmission can't handle the torque of an LS, so you'd need a Turbo transmission.
And before you say "Why not just use the T56 that the LS most likely comes with from the donor car?", the 944 has no transmission tunnel. A T56 won't fit without lots of cutting and welding.

>>17655449

Then what I've read was correct, seems like the 944 is an overall better car, with a perhaps worse transmission, the only short comings of the Porsche being the lower aftermarket support and expensiveness in parts...
I'll have to do some more research on the aftermarket stuff and real costs of pieces and decide. I honestly love both cars. Aesthetically wise both are awesome, if I could find an aftermarket tail light kit for the 944 with round lights, that would be really sweet.

Did a quick search doesnt seem to be many which gives you the cool points for it but it wouldn't be to hard since people do lsx swaps and I wouldnt imagine an lsx be smaller then a mark iv, you gotta swap the tranny anyways so only real fitment issues I would see are probably just fender wells and hood and of course the engine mounts but that's easy as shit
People mostly go with the ls because of efi but there are dozens of efi kits for the mark iv

idk your price range but a 489 kit some cheap heads and a good junkyard block will run you around 3800 before the efi and is anywhere from 700 bucks to about 1400 and you'll be good to at least 500hp and 550ftlbs with a carb but god knows what you could get with an efi

I am doing some research, and while it is true you have to notify any big changes to the car (You have to drive you car a specialized place so they can verify the vehicle like once every 4 years). It doesn't seem like it's illegal, and there seems to be websites dedicated to car tuning where I live.
Not that any of that European crap is enforced that much where I live, car heads over here hate retarded laws and will allow your car to continue running in the streets if some retarded legislation is cock-blocking you.
If the LS SWOOP becomes financially retarded, compared to other options, I can always have a look at our European V8s. I know for certain it's not going to be illegal, that's for sure.

Probably best to go read up on the laws and regulations before buying anything. Maybe call up your local inspection station to see what exactly you have to adhere to and such.

And an LS swap is so common in the US because you can find a truck with an engine from the same family in every junkyard, which you can usually take home for fuckall. In Europe, not so much. You'd have to specially order the engine and everything else you need to get it working, and have it shipped over unless you get really lucky and find a wrecked F-body or Corvette.

There seems to be a shit ton of V8 engines from Audis, BMW and Mercedes in Europe.

I found the V8 engine of an SL500 for only 1500€

>https://www.milanuncios.com/motores-de-segunda-mano/motor-mercedes-sl500-w129-119960-159595124.htm


Doesn't sound as good as American engines, but meh.

>https://youtu.be/4PBJx9XaQR0?t=23
It'll keep doing research, this is kinda cool.
>>
>>17661640
From the German big 3, Audi probably makes the cheapest. The old belt-drive 4.2 is pretty much bulletproof and sounds great. Makes up to 360hp NA in stock form in the D2 S8, and about 300hp in most other cars.
BMW is mainly about straight-6 engines, although the E39 did come with V8 options but I've heard they're a bit maintenance-heavy. Don't know much about them, haven't really looked into them myself.
Mercedes has a bunch of awesome sounding V8s, but again, I haven't really looked into them and don't know much about pricing, maintenance and reliability although I suspect they're pretty good. They also have supercharged options available from certain AMG models.

Then there's Jaguar, with the AJ-V8, which sounds amazing and is very tuneable. Most Jags mostly had issues with the electronics, pretty sure the engines were solid.

And finally, the old Buick/Rover V8. Not the most powerful engine, but very light and with tons of aftermarket support. Originally 3.5 liters, but commonly bored and stroked up to 5 liters for racing purposes, it was good enough for TVR to power some of their complete madmanmobiles.
>>
>>17661683

Thank you my man, I am again, saving this thread for future reference.


Just found a Jaguar S-type engine for 1800€. Looks like European V8 rev higher, which is kinda cool and this particular one does indeed sound good


>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UJ84r-KcSs
>>
>>17661691
Yeah, almost all Euro V8s are DOHC which allows them to rev higher, but it does make them very wide. I've looked up dimensions of the Audi block and the LS in the past and the 4.2 is about the same height and width, but 2/3rds the length of the LS and it weighs about the same. But hey, if an FC RX7 can fit a Ford Coyote (also DOHC) it can probably fit a Merc or Jag V8.

The Rover V8 is the exception here, as it's a very light and compact pushrod design.

Because it's retarded. You're paying 5k for a rx7 fd chassis to put a truck motor into it and the defense is that "well uhh it's a well balanced chassis I just don't like the dorito" white
But a fucking s14 chassis you can get a chassis for 800$. It better yet put your overrated truck. Motor back into a corvette shell, those are cheaper than fds too.

Ls swaps are fine it just depends on the chassis. The miata or the s13/14 chassis are perfect candidates and they're everywhere why on earth would you buy a expensive specia! snowflake car and jam a truck engine I. It it just makes no sense

If you're going to ruin an fc make sure it's a non turbo they're basically worthless anyway.

Unless you remove the OMP and simply premix instead, yes you will have to add about 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes (your buying more oil of some kind either way). Yes, the gas mileage is utter shit. My FD is almost stock and gets 18mpg highway on a good day. Yes, rotories do go through plugs quickly- 15,000 miles is the recommended lifespan. But coils should last for well over 100k miles and the only reason to replace them is to make more power.

Apex seals ARE NOT something that you can simply swap out. To do that properly would require an engine rebuild. I'm convinced that most /o/tists wouldn't even know what an apex seal looks like without Googling it. The main reason that those fail prematurely is user error. Bad owners who don't let the engine warm up before driving the car, don't use the right weight of oil and or keep it topped off, do bolt on mods like exhausts without getting the car tuned, not monitoring or controlling their boost, and the most common and deadly of all- letting the engine overheat.

Sort of unrelated, but on a similar topic here, I have a Ford focus that I want to V8 swap (with the krugal engine kit) does anyone know what's the best engine that will fit in that engine mount? It only accepts Ford engines if I recall. Was thinking of a modular V8.

yeah because that works for all the old men, old women and numales who are deathly afraid of speed, road noise, g-forces and the police, stopping dead on a 55mph road to take a right hand turn into a parking lot because they're afraid their suspension will snap into pieces if the approach the sidewalk ramp at anything faster than 1mph, but they focus so much on completely inconsequential shit that they don't take a wide enough turn, block traffic for a whole 30 seconds and STILL manage to curb the rear wheel.

you're fucking retarded, learning is best accomplished in a focused environment where all your attention can be on the task at hand. You then layer on complexity as you master the individual aspects of the task.

RX7s aren't Korean though
>>
Lmao, you realize an Rx7 burns about half a quart between oil changes right? That's less than most piston engines I've seen. If anything is the problem, it's fuel economy. They are not fragile engines if you are a competent tuner. They're much easier and cheaper to rebuild, too. Over 500 to the wheels is ridiculously attainable with a modern single and meth injection, and that would cost you about the same as an LS swap, except you're making more power and shaving weight from the front.

The LS is absolutely a light engine, but it's got nothing on a rotary. LS with t56 is over 600 lbs. 13b rew with tranny, intercooler and ALL accessories including air pump is 430, and you can shave off more than 100 from that. 300 lbs in the front of your car is a huge difference, not to mention that weight will sit farther forward, wider, and taller. Don't listen to what people say when they post corner weights before and after swapping, and the weight "didn't change". They have USDM cars with 2 massive catalytic converters, ac, power steering, and stock mufflers, which total well over 200 lbs,and are mostly things you should delete.

As someone who works at a tuning/engine building shop, we have seen more 2jzs pop (cylinder 1 and 6y'all) than rotaries, and don't get me started on rb26s

In Japan the FC and FD don't carry the reputation for unreliability. Quite the opposite in comparison with the other cars of the time.
>>
>>17662855

Yeah, I agree. That's why I am not doing the swapping until I improve as a rider and do other basic mods.

If you want to swap LS just buy a C5 vette and strip it to make it light.

If you want reliability get an old benz or toyota.

That's my reason, rx7 simply does not deserve it. After you toss the rotors away it will not be the same, with LS it will not even resemble RX7. You will of course do what you want, but why even start the thread if you sperg when someone responds.

Sit down me boyo and let me let ye a tale. Many moons ago, lets call these the sweet years, LS swaps weren't as common and teenage fagos were wrecking their daddy's firebirds and corvettes left and right. The engines had been around for several years now, so prices of legit LS1's and LS6's werent so fuckall retarded. Boomers prefered their 350s and big blocks because computers and anything without a carburetor scare them. Uncle did his ls1 + 4l60 swap on his camaro for around $2500 at this time. Boomer mags like Hot Rod kept publishing their articles on LS swaps and the aftermarket caught up to make the swaps easier and keep the boomers pacemakers from going off. That didnt completely flood the market though. What ended up skyrocketed shit into fucking oblivion is when the import crowd stopped smack talking and started seeing what a lightweight aluminum v8 could do on the track and they started swapping. This was cool and all, supply and demand and whatnot, but then you get these hipster fags that pay 7k for a fucking 240 shitbox and ls swap and stance it to be "original" now, finding a 5.3 or 6.0 truck block seem to be the only feasible option as a starting point for unnecessarily angry poorfags like me that just want to join the LS club.
