Why the **** would anyone do that. Now hes gota carry a toolbox everywhere he goes.
Hes ****ed up his MPG.
someone asked about weight difference. okay here it is, I did the research for ya.
The VQ weights only 40Lbs lighter than the LS1, the LS is 60Lbs heaveir than the 13B-REW. so the VQ is 20Lbs lighter than the 13B-REW, but we are not talking about the 13B-REW, we're talking about the 20B, which is much heavier than the 13B. My theory, hes actually put a heaveir engine in that Z.
What a dumb **** to do that, waste of money and time.
There is a Reason why LS1 conversion in FD RX-7s are getting so popular these days.
OH, and I forgot one thing,
the VQ has 270lb-ft of Torque, I doubt that 20B has that. Hes totaly ****ed that car to hell, what a waste.
and for the people that will say, you cant tune a VQ, Watch the Grand AM series, the SR2 car has a VQ motor pushing 500HP, in NA form.
@B6T- Cant believe u just said that, Rotory is better, since when, The VQ35DE was actually developed as a Diesel at first by Renault, then went to on to be developed for Racing purposes, by then it wasnt a Diesel and NIssan was fully supporting it.

is it your money?
why do you care so much, admire the work that went into swapping that car, I cant stand people who say rotors are unreliable, everything is unreliable if treated wrong.
BTW how much work would it take to have a VQ reach 1000whp?
20B gets there faster just ask fred im sure he would know about that.

No its not my car.
I'll admire it for the fact they took a perfectly good engine and replaced it with one not much better.
and dont worry, Iam not one of those people that will ignorantly say Wankels are unreliable, Any engine is unrelieable if not taken care of. But Rotorys do require more maintance than a Conventional Combustion engine.
How much work would it take to get 1000HP out of a VQ, dunno, ask Performance Motorsports, their 1750HP 350Z is the fastest in the world.
A 350Z so fast it will make you barf - Autoblog
btw- who gives a **** if 20B gets to 1000HP faster, you certainly wont be using that in the street, or you could be like those Dyno Queen Supras, Boast about your 2JZ pumping 1000Hp, but ask them to use it, and they chicken out.

Iam not, far from it.
Listen Iam an Automotive Engineer in training. To me, thats just a wasted project, there really is no point to it, at least as I can see. Maybe he just did it to be different.
maybe Iam still not experienced enough to know, but can someone tell me any advantages of them doing that.
I just look at things realistcly, nothing else. I dont dream of 1000HP supras or Skylines. altough Iam planning and wanting a Twin-Engine Ford Pinto

But you didnt answer my question. Can he use that on the Street.
heck no.
there is no point in any street car to have over 500HP, how many times are you going to use it.
Power like that belongs only in one place the Track.
But now you got me intrested, can you provide more info on this 20B powered RX-7, Id love to know more about it.
Iam also guessing theyve gone the way of Forced Induction to achieve that power or am I wrong.
heck no.

no point in any street car over 500hp? Funny, there are many in the GTA with more power than that, and most definetly streetable still. Modded vettes, vipers, ect. even measely imports.
