Ask many of the Aussy LS1 owners that are de-tuned to about 300HP if they have had their motors re-built / replaced under warranty with less than a few thousand miles on them. Excessive oil consumption problems attributed to the rings.

I agree the thread is a little moot, but I believe there is no harm in talking about radical projects of engine swaps.

I wonder if the BMW brigade complains about the M1 I see in Phil's workshop with a twin turbo 26B in it? (yes - a quad rotor). Didn't have my camera on me that day

Cheers,
Hymee.

This whole LS1 conversion has been beaten to death over at RX7 forum. Go check it out. More than a few
Can you imagine what Corvette fans would say or do if they walked up to a new C6 at their annual meet and it had a 4 Rotor in it

Now that would be awesome!

How many RX-8s did they discuss in the RX7 forum. Hehehe.

I wonder if the Corvette guys know a Chev Beretta with a 20B triple turbo was the first rotar to crack 200MPH?? I was there when it happened - the crowd, obviously mostly following V8 tribal culture, erupted in raptures of delight!

Cheers,
Hymee.
