How far can a motor swap go?! - Stevo151 - 01.13.2011 06.55 PM

i dont believe any other motor should be in another make! for example im not a fan of ls1's being in mustangs but some are pretty nasty in a fox... but when it comes to a 2jz in a camaro then thats just ridiculous... im sorry for others that think differently but sometimes is just to far....

If it makes the car better, then do it. That's how I look at it. But "better" is also a pretty objective term. I dunno... everything in the car scene is really just personal taste.

i agree but when "someone" says do a rb swap into a fox then your an idiot! maybe its just cuz im a ford guy, who knows... but thats just to far IMO... you would be shot dead if a die hard ford guy new you were running a rb in a fox body.... lmao Banghead

RE: How far can a motor swap go?! - topsey_kretts - 01.13.2011 07.28 PM

no biggie.. a TT lsx fox is more beast than a 5.0 any day.. but then again a termi fox would be more beast than the TT lsx fox..

RE: How far can a motor swap go?! - Stevo151 - 01.13.2011 07.32 PM

it wasnt the lsx that pissed me off, since i see those a lot anyways... and a terminator motor in a fox is killer. i like when they do the full swap, interior, irs and all

Its fine, This whole argument started over a SR motor going into a fox not an ls motor but i bet that TT fox is sick!, And the argument of the SR motor going into the fox was stupid cause it shouldnt happen and who would do that? its kinda like putting my civic motor into my camaro which is Screwy

I don't think it's that weird. People swap all kinds of shit into RX-7s. LSXs, RBs, Chevy 350s... How do you think that makes us rotary fans feel? Haha. That's a way bigger change than an LSX in a Mustang. Wink

yeah i bet it is annoying... and again i wasnt talking about the lsx mustang... it all started off with a rb fox... a lot of people arent fans of rotary at least domestic owners so they take a light weight car for example rx-7 and put a bad ass LSX! but i understand why they would be mad... shit look at me i thinks its dumb as fuck to do a rb swap into a mustang...

RE: How far can a motor swap go?! - topsey_kretts - 01.13.2011 07.38 PM

oh, and they are 61mm turbos with a .58 a/r
