awsome work and right up so far, keep us posted

 

ok heres a pic of the engine mocked up after i trimed the firewall. it fits rather nice with about an inch or so of clearance. also heres a pic of the gauge pod i made for the center of the dash...i might be willing to make more if you guys like it.

 

wow - the finished gauge pod looks great. i like it.

dd sends...

 

all this work might be worth it if it was a V8

 

 

lol!

 

A Corvette wouldn't be such a POS if it had a rotary in it!!!! ahahahahah

(Actually a supercharged 3 rotor would make that car actually something worth owning. But just barely. Rip the manufacturers emblem off of it and it could work.)

 

+1

 

Don't even get me started on Ford motors or those archaic Hemi's!

I love starting crap with mullets. Keep in mind I had one at one point!

 

Business up front Party in the back

 

ook i wont get definsive but...Im having to do alot to make this work that is for sure, but all the work i have done and still have to do is a drop in the bucket compared to what would have to be done to this thing to make a v8 fit and still have the car be able to turn at some point. this car was built with nothing but rotary in mind and undoing that is a bitch for sure. I originally was going to do the v8 thing but i would have totally destroyed the cars great handling, not so much for the weight but the way you would have to make the steering system it would just be a straight line driving car. i know someone will do it eventually and when they do i will tip my hat to themm because i know the pain in the *** factor will be off the charts.....ok im done back to work.

 

hating on the corvette ehh ? somebody leave you in the dust ?? yea 3 rotor supercharged would be nice i guess.... prolly take an engine like that to even move the car since the normal rotary engine in the Rx8 is so weak. It seems to me the rotary isnt all that great the Rx8 makes like 1\3rd of the power and lasted like 50k miles. im guessing thats why this guy is taking the motor out and going through all this work to NOT have a rotary

i was just saying that all this work and the SR20 isnt even more powerfull than the stock Rx8 engine is it ? and if it is its not by much. i believe they come with a T25 turbo right ??

i know im gonna start getting comments on how great the rotary is and all then why are you guys all for him takign this engine out and putting in a nissan motor ?

cmr333 your car looks good man i didnt know it was such a big deal to do a V8 in these cars i figured since they do it in FD's and all i dunno its not like i research these things. im just giving ya a hard time anyways

 

Speedsource RX-8, if I remember correctly, did great against the Corvettes.... Oh wait the RX-8 won....... Life isn't all about the straight line dip **** this aint the Fast and the Furious cars are a conventional piece of transportation.

 

Spoken like a true hillbilly.....lol, ignorance is bliss eh LSX?

 

wow hilbillys ..............btw bone stock sr20 is 205 hp and 203 tourqe. when i finish with the few lil mods to it and the reflashed ecu that came with it ill be sitting at about 250 and 245....bout the same power yes but gobs of tourqe compared to stock

 

wtf are you talking about fast and furious and straight line racing for. you think\ just cause a car has a V8 it cant handle? yea its typical to use one example of a fast RX8 vs vette blah blah but you know deep down inside that most of the RX8's on the road cant even compete with a stock vette. vettes are not as shity as you guys make them out to be they perform great for their price. im not really sure where you guys are getting off on this Vette sucks kick. you might not like GM cars thats fine and all but you sound like a ricer crying about a car that performs way better than yours . oh yea and the hill billy stereo type **** wtf . what do you think the stereotype of your car is then ..... oh yea that fast and furious comment is about you. Dipshit

i would find some stupid *** picture to post up here but id end up making more people cry im sure.

why dont you guys just drop this **** and we'll see how this guys car turns out.

 

Wow mullet can't take a joke! Apparently even joking about the Vette is a crime in the south! Go apologize to the trailer park for me. I'll buy them a case of Lone Star Light next chance I get. We'll sit back and watch the tornado together. Bring the banjo. We'll sing songs about Larry the cable guy. Good times man!

It's obvious you came over here to do nothing but troll. I actually don't have a problem with the LSX engines. I even helped my good friend Jim build up his Z28. I just wanted to see if you were cool and could take a joke or if you were a troll. I guess that answers that. In the words of one of your idols, "here's your sign". The LSX engines are plentiful and relatively speaking they're cheap. For what they do they are also fairly light. They may not have the best horsepower to displacement ratio compared to many other engines out there but that's OK. They make up for that by just having more displacement than most other engines out there. The one area I will slam them though is they sound like a can of smashed ******** rattling around inside an empty water tower. American V8's have never sounded good. It's all hillbilly music as far as I'm concerned. That doesn't mean they aren't fast. They are. They just sound like marbles in a blender doing it. All of them! Show me a nice sounding V8 and I'll show you one that isn't American. The Europeans know how to make a V8 sound good! Detroit should get a clue in this area.

No I haven't had a Corvette leave me in the dust. You're funny! I actually don't street race. I have nothing to prove. I find that the people with the most powerful vehicles are usually the only ones that have anything to prove to anyone else. That means you sunshine! You obviously can't keep up with your own crowd if you have to go to other forums where they have less powerful engines just to pick on someone. Can't hang with your own huh? I guess that really tells us who the loser is doesn't it!

I do like your own slam against the vette though. You did it and didn't even know it! You said this above but I'll quote it again. "yea 3 rotor supercharged would be nice i guess.... prolly take an engine like that to even move the car since the normal rotary engine in the Rx8 is so weak. " I love this. It cracks me up! Are you calling the Vette fat? I think you are! Don't you realize that the C6 for the first time in Vette history actually weighs less than a small aircraft carrier? The C6 actually weighs less than the RX-8 which means the Renesis could move it just fine. This isn't a shot against the RX-8. It's actually a tribute to the fact that Detroit (excuse me Bowling Green, Kentucky) has actually learned how to build a car that is finally light enough that it doesn't have it's own gravitational field and isn't studied by astronomers. Defending a car you know nothing about is another sign of trolling. Damn this is fun!

Here's a race you're about to lose. It's the race to reply! The loser gets banned! I win!

 

Pwned Pwned Pwned

lol awsome

 

That was freakin great RG.

 

Since I whizzed in his Cherrios, I have no doubt that he'll come back. I hope he realizes that his 5-10 minutes worth of time and effort to sign back up quite literally takes me as long as it takes to click the mouse button to totally undo. And the retaliation post takes just as long to delete! That's why I find it funny that people will actually come back. I can click the mouse button all day long! It's literally a second of my time!

I know I came across as harsh but I feel it's fine if it's a troll or a mullet (A V8 loving, rotary hating troll). Add that term to your dictionary! Rotard (a person ignorant in the ways of the rotary) would also have been an acceptable term. I wouldn't do this to a valued member. I will pick on them though!

It's funny, I was actually just joking with the guy too!

 

RG ur the man lol haha i knew he was a troll to begin with. I like the LS engines theyre nice and powerful but for someone to actually take the time and effort to sign up in this forum and then talk about how great the corvette is and how shitty the rx8 is just askin for trouble. He'll be back for sure. CMR333 keep up the great work I can't to see the final outcome of your car

Time to use some of this stuff

 

this quite funny
and sorry guys but i would rather own a C6 than my RX8 but there is no way it put a LS6 in it, by the time i did that i could sell the 8 and nearly get a vette

but back on topic the SR's can make great power my i helped build one that put 360hp and 348tq at the wheels at 18 psi on stock motor but i will recomend rocker arm stoppers

 

If I turn the silver *** to the right about a quarter of a turn, I will do that for much less right now.

That being said, the SR is one of my favorite 4 bangers!

 

This dude, is on something. He said vette's perform good for the price? 50K+ for a base model Corvette. As for the rx8's are 30K fully loaded. With the extra 20,000 you can do a hell of alot to the rx8.

Besides that fool,

The build is coming along nice.

I love all the nissan's motors. I have a few friends that are die hard drifters, with 240sx, one with a rb20, one with a sr20, and the other with a ka. I hear alot about these things, all day, and they make fun of how i have no pistons.. but i know there joking so its all good. Anyways there all motor, no looks. These cars are primer and about 10 different colors.. but they sure are f@ckin ***** fast

Anyways keep us updated, and good luck!
