Hey everyone, new to the forum and ready to purchase an engine for my FC LSX conversion. I have a couple of questions regarding an LS2 swap.

Based on what I have read up on there are 2 main things to consider when swapping an LS2 motor and T56 into an FC RX7. First would be the need to run an oil pan, windage tray and pickup from and LS1 camaro or firebird and second would be the fabrication required to mount the DBW pedal assembly on the rx7.

Is there anything I am missing here or is it really that simple.

Thanks,

Mike.

Also,

Does the LS2 from the GTO share the same accessory package as thr F-body LS1??

nope

check out www.norotors.com essentially an RX7 swap site

Thanks for the link! I had been looking for something but all that kept coming in google were links to a site that doesn't appear to be around anymore.

yea norotors is basically the new v8rx7 site the old one recently went down
check out the swap kit from pez, he also does the wiring harness conversions to make them plug and play
oh BTW don't bother with the drive by wire tb, get a cable tb and have the harness converted

Is there a reason to stay away from the DBW?? I was under ther impression that to convert from DBW to cable throttle I would have to change intake manifold and ECM also.

That's true!

How is the delay on these LS2 DBW cars?? On my Audi there is a very slight delay between pedal movement and throttle response. Is this an issue with the LS2?
