If you can't build a car like this, please keep your elitist stock engine opinions to yourself. So tired of purists. Wake up, it's 2013, not 1960. We're going to do things the way we want. And to be frank, it's a formidable engine, respectable, and proven.
I can appreciate this swap because I used to own a 1989 Mazda RX7 Turbo II FC with a Nissan SR20DET. I can't even begin to talk about how much flak people were giving me for the car not being rotary, or why it didn't have a V8, or let alone the amount of dumb comments.
None of you would dare have those opinions if you took a ride in the car. Let me see you not grin or have a joy of happiness when the throttle is opened up. Respect the man's build and efforts he's put in. It's done right.
Props man, btw for real..do you have a full build out thread on the vehicle with some sort of explanation and reasoning for your process? I'm curious about your throttle position, saw there was a spring/hinge attached to the frame (or what it looked like), I guess to assist if it gets stuck open and ensure it closes?

Well said sir, thanks
When the FT86 came out, Orido (drift Japanese champ) swapped his engine with an ISF engine and everyone got excited! However, swapping an engine for street application seems a big "NO" for some reason
Not sure about the throttle btw, will check it tomorrow
And another I want to add, no matter what car you own or build, there will always be ppl who have different taste and opinion. As a wise man once said, drive what you like and wear what ppl like
