Continental AV1790-5B Engine Swap?
 

I plan on doing a Continental AV1790-5B into my FR-S. I'll need a 6-speed Allison transmission. I figure it will look like this:

Thoughts? I know I'll need to do a little bit of fabricating. However, I want to be special. Nobody else has done this before. Plus, there's no way the FA20 will ever withstand 1500 lb/ft of torque. I figure I can get it done for less than $10k.

Needs a rocket bunny kit

You could probably fit a GE F110, although you'd need to modify the fuel system and the transmission tunnel.

I managed to fish out a solid rocket booster off of the Space Shuttle years ago when I was fishing off of Florida. As soon as I figure out how to repack the fuel into this thing I'm going to start swapping it in. I myself usually go to the Full Service gas stations, but my buddy changed out his air filter one time so we're good to go....😂

If it was from the Challenger you may want to check the seals on it as well.

Yes, and you should eat lots of fiber. You don't want to blow an O-ring.

I don't want to modify the fuel system. That's too much work. Plus I'd need to wear a fire suit at the track. Nah, I'll just swap the engine.

Hell yeah. You could kill like, 7 or 8 people like that.



Incidentally, I'm also selling tickets to hell. One way trip though.

Challenger accepted.

good luck finding a competent tuner of the continental engine.

I've used a laptop before, I can handle the tuning :thumbsup:

I mean, it's basically just Excel, right?

MS Paint FTW

I thought you just draw the plot you want in paint, and so long as it crosses at 5252RPM you just upload it to the car?
