RB Powered FD RX-7

[BimmerTim]

Well, the time has finally come. My buddy Karl's RX-7 is finally in Super Street. He got the cover of this month's issue.

I'm excited as hell.

Rb25det or RB26DETT? Either way sounds like a badass car. I love me some Nissan engines.

[BimmerTim]

I think it's RB26, but it might be an RB25.

It doesn't really matter at this point, as it's built bottom to top. He spared no expense. It made 870whp @37psi, it was built for 55psi and still has a 200 shot of nitrous that wasn't used.

[Die Frau]

R!CE.

You did a bunch of work on this thing, didn't you?

[BimmerTim]

Body work, yes.

Damn, so I am guessing probably 1300+ WHP with the bottle? RB's are amazing motors and can pretty easily make 1000hp and run pretty reliably.

[BimmerTim]

Yeah, I would guess over 1000hp for sure.

The shop he was having it tuned at won't go any farther with it.

[Casper]

Looks like an FD. 93-95.

[BimmerTim]

That's what I said.

RB Powered FC RX-7

[BimmerTim]

I don't see that anywhere.

[Hart]

Says FD on my screen :confused:

[Casper]

If that's how you want to play it.

Congrats to your friend.

[TTaM]

Someone should tell him his hood doesn't fit

[Hart]

Play what, checkers? Not too good at it so you'll probably beat me good

[JTapper]

Someone should tell him his hood doesn't fit

Most people's tires here don't fit...

Pot, meet kettle.

[BimmerTim]

More like his turbo doesn't fit. Pretty sure it's a GT45R.

6 cylinders do not belong in wankel engine bays.

[BimmerTim]

Put an RB26 in your Miata.

[SLK]

Wankel

[BimmerTim]

edit:

Riveting?

[Die Frau]

Tale.

[TTaM]

Chap.

[shrykFC3S]

win. and ivan, fuck the 20b. the RB series should just replace all engines everywhere.

[sprstu]

this is a local guy?

[Hart]

Green Bay me thinks

[BimmerTim]

Green Bay indeed. Usually when I head to Green Bay I stop by and shoot the shit with him for a bit.

[The_Stig]

Such a sick car. Wasn't it purple or something before? And I want to say you painted it too? Either way, it's cool to be able to say you did all the bodywork on it.

[BimmerTim]

No, the car was red. I moved here before I painted it.

[Rowland]
