I was thinking about turning my 7 into a drift car.

I just wanted to get some advice from some of the more experienced people around here since im a n00b.

Im already planning to go 13Btt and a roll cage.

Any other mods you guys would have in mind?

Dude, go 13BT...Its so freakin easy and alot cheaper :thumbup:

Also, might wanna look into the rear suspension...The stock geometry can bind causing uncontrollable oversteer :lol:

yea, dont mess w/ the tt...its not gonna be worth it in the end, especially after you port a s4/s5 turbo motorset. depending on how much power your looking to make you wanna look into a bnr setup, fmic, fuel pump, maybe new injectors, ALL NEW suspension parts, and turboback exhaust, and many more. If you're serious about it, I can do the motor for you as 85rx-7gsl-se can vouch we do good work. and past that, if you're still serious we are 2 of your best options to talk to on the site about it.

only mod I would recommend is do a rotary removal mod and replace it with the more advanced, better piston version

 

[85rx-7gsl-se]

Yeah, Matt and Charles do great work. I am running a S4 13BT built by them with their mild streetport, a BNR Stage 1 Turbo, Microtech Standalone, and water/meth injection.

Yeah ill defiently hit you guys up.

I was thinking about supercharging it?
Is that a possibility?

Im pretty sure its possible..
I think you would have to get some kind of carb adapter for the supercharger but where theres a will theres a way.
Would be sick too
never seen a supercharged rotary

 

[usafdarkhorse]

What kind of rearend is in the first gens?

 

[boosted s14.5 v2]

dont supercharge it unless you want to just be different. s4/s5 t2 motor will be sufficient enough. we can have you a very capable motor built to withstand about 650+whp for relative cheap which would be a GREAT starting point, even with stock turbo and then go from there as you feel necessary.

Couldn't agree more...

JK! I don't know jack about rotarys so I can't give you any advice on them...but if you built a 4-rotor I'd pee my pants

 

[StatixNWH]

yeh in all honesty I dont either lol, I was actually talking to a dude with a pretty clean FD, seeing whats the least hed take....they have always been one of my favorite body style car....just fronm what ive seen, rotaries are teh major suck, but im sure there are exceptions.

 

[boosted s14.5 v2]

rotary's are good motors if you take care of them. just like any other motor. fd's got a bad rep at first because people wouldn't ever beat on them and theyd shift before 4k always. and that would just lead to a bunch of carbon build up. unfortuntely they are notorious for numerous electrical problems though. fd's arent really my thing but there are a few clean ones out there. and a 4 rotor setup is nothing any of us will ever come across or have the joy of messing with. only ballers need apply for that setup.

my blue car, charles truck, charles's sa, charles vert, have no motor problems and the truck and my blue car were brokin by charles/matt or launching at 5 right after crank.....rotarys aren't bad people that don't know how to work on rotarys or maintain cars are bad.

 

[spoolie]

they are junk...buy a supra or a GN.

x7891823746891734 13bt swap.......and enjoy

 

[RotaryPowered]

yeah

but i really just want to source a 13Bt first

i might order one off of tigerjapanese

 

[85rx-7gsl-se]

Yeah, I would avoid the supercharger...Most don't make more power than a stock 13BT engine so I don't see the point. My GSL-SE with a stock used JDM 13BT and stock turbo with just intake and exhaust ran a 8.45 in the 1/8th and a 13.39 in the 1/4 with ease.

 

[boosted s14.5 v2]

exactly. listen to nate for anything involving the actual swap as far and parts or labor, and adler and me are here for the motor aspect.
