well an LS9 is essentially an LS3 with superchager and top mount intercooler, so its possibly pretty close. I think that would be a ridiculous awsome swap in an rx7, if not too much...an LS1/2/3 would be more then enough to begin with, then add the hp/torque of the superchager...*drool* I would love to see one though

it is funny to see an RX7 hammering around an autox course making large-displacement V8 noises, hehe.

Are all the boxer blocks made of aluminum? It seems like they should be lighter. I've been doing some research on the nasioc site, but I guess it's hard to compare their engines since it's rumored that the FT will have a reworked engine by toyota/yamaha.

Yes ever since the 1st Subarus with a flat four was produced back in 1967 they had always been all alloy. Remember with a boxer you have two equial sized block halves, 2 x heads, 4 cams etc so would weight a bit more compaired to a alloy inline 4 with 1 head, 2 cams etc. I would say new engine will be the next gen Subaru engine that will have timming chain?, Virable Valves, lighter shorter, with Directect injection. I would say toyota would add there fancy DI tech to it. Would they still do new heads for it? Heres a pic of the prototype next gen Subaru engine... |
