anyone out there that have pictures or websites that show renesis installs in the fc3s or somewhere along those lines? im also posting this in the rx7club forum.....

thanks

 

Don't know of any. You'd have to convert the Renesis drive-by-wire to a throttle cable, I'd assume, or vice versa.

 

If you're going to do a swap just do an LS1...

 

Ike,
For someone I enjoy and respect I'm a little disappointed with you on this one. Not everyone is an LS1 candidate. How about you shoe-horn one of those bad boys into your car?
Paul.

 

That's blasphemy, Paul. No self respecting Mitsu would ever have an American engine of any sort in it.

On a side note, do you know how the throttle body issue would be solved for a swap into a FC?

 

Seems like it would be a cheaper swap (just a guess) and obviously much better horsepower wise without gaining a ton of weight. I don't know how difficult the swap would be compared to the Renesis, but with the LS1 at least people have done it before and he'd have some sort of guide to follow.

 

well i happen to prefer rotary over piston in some cases but in this case if i was to do a motor swap for the FC itd be of course a rotary but hey thats me.

thanks for the responses

 

well, you'd have to go with something like a motec anyway to control the engine, so i wouldn't think swapping out the drive-by-wire system with a cable would be too much harder then a little fabrication and a trip to the junkyard

actually, i'd bet speed source is already has a throttle cable for their race cars for sale.

 

this would be interesting to see.

 

There are a couple people on another site i belong to that have LS1 and LS2 7s. There is also a guy that has an LS1 and an LS2 Miata. IMO, put an LS2 or LS7 in there.

or a 3 rotor engine

 

yeah for the money a renesis swap would cost u could almost do a 3 rotor swap

 

welcome to the forum, don't forget to check the "date" of the thread
