LS1 powered RX7s Just wanted to comment how amazing you guys make your cars look like they rolled straight out of the factory with LS1's.
My father has a 96 RX7 TT with blown o rings and not quite working turbos. He supposed to be buying a OE block this summer and having his turbos rebuilt but I'm in the process of convincing him to buy and LS1.
Does anyone have a website that chronicles the installation (start to finish) of an LS1 in an RX7?
Cuddos
and thanks

i don't mean this in a bad way, but do a search for LS1 RX7. there are a few pics that have been posted up. Hinson supercars makes a good bit of the parts for conversions.
ALL the questions have been answered over at torquecentral.com
With a few hours of searching you can find info on every step of the swap...
If you have any pointed questions, feel free to pm me.

Fd RX7 was imported in 93 94 and 95 only , car was still in production in the 2000s in japan , only way it could be a 96 is if it was imported JDM right hand drive etc. 95 was last year for US.

You heard wrong I got all my parts in a resnalble time, with just a little shipping mistake but it was taken care of next day for me.
Its has been laid out a few times and if I remember, someone is or was working on the how-to u are looking for.
Go do a search on www.torquecentral.com I'm sure you will find what you are looking for it is mostly striat forward once you start doing your homework on it.
