FS: 93 RX7 R1 LS1/6-speed 442 RWHP/408 RWTQ 10.9 ¼ mile 1993 RX7 R1 for sale with 81K miles and 29K on the motor. One of a small number of very fast LS1 V8 conversions around. A lot of effort went into doing things right with quality parts. Very solid and dependable, the car starts every time and over the past year has been 100% reliable as my daily driver. The interior was swapped to tan leather in excellent condition from an FD with less than 50K. All gauges work on the car except the Speedo, it needs the calibrator ($85) to get it working. The body of the car is excellent with original paint that isn’t perfect but still looks good. Clean title, California car, adult owned, well cared for. Weight is 2800 pounds. All records and dyno sheet comes with car. I’m not a drag racer but the best this engine ran was a 10.9 @ 124 in the ¼ mile when in the builder’s black FD and it had 421RWHP and 376RWTQ. It has since been speed density tuned with larger injectors and now makes 442RWHP and 408RWTQ. Judging from others with similar hp/tq the car should trap 127 mph in the ¼ mile. Power is instant, response is very smooth and the car is easy to drive. Great handling and the suspension is tight with no slop. The exhaust is a work of art and sounds really serious without being too loud. It is comfortable and can be driven across the country if someone from the East Coast is interested.
These are the mods:
2001 LS1/T56 drive train
AFR 205 cylinder heads
Ported throttle body
LS6 intake manifold
Center force Duel friction clutch 3K
Tranny is rebuilt (receipt for proof) and filled w/ redline synthetic
Comp Cam Duration .050 228 228/Lobe separation 112/Valve lift 588 588
Hinson conversion kit/Powder coated K member
ASP under drive pulley
30# svo fuel injectors
JTR Long Tube headers to Magna flow X pipe to duel 2 ½ inch Borla’s
Exhaust is all mandrel bends with no crush bends.
JTR radiator w/ Volvo S70 cooling fan & DCC fan relay
Hinson aluminum drive shaft
Diff is stock 4.11 LSD
Power steering
Aero motive regulator and all plumbing w/ fittings
Willwood clutch slave master w/ custom hydraulic line
Powder coated valve covers and coil pack brackets
Cold air induction w/ KN&N filter
99 spec tail lights
Walbro 255 Fuel pump
Odyssey battery in engine compartment
Eibach lowering springs
Blackracing wheels 17x8 front/17x9 rear
Kumho Ecsta MX tires 245/40/17 front 275/40/17 rear (85% tread)
New hoses and belt
JVC am/fm CD player
Mobil 1 Synthetic oil
This car was the 4th LS1 FD the builder completed so he had experience and he definitely did a thorough, thoughtful job on the conversion. He was planning on keeping this one but sold it to me last year and now has a 427 LS2 in his black FD. Here is a link to the original owner’s ad from a year ago to see more pics of the car without the wheels, volvo fan, and some interior work, also pics of his 427 LS2 FD:

I have the A/C bracket on the motor and the compressor is included. It will need a charge and 2 lines made, JTR has been working on a kit that will make the job very simple. R1 rear spoiler also included with the sale along with a California smog cert. Gas mileage is great, on trips it has managed 25-30 mpg when comparing distance to gas receipts. If you’re in the market for an LS1 FD then a ride will sell the car. Acceleration feels like falling sideways and is very impressive on the highway. Faster than Corvette Z06s, Vipers, Porsches, exotics, and motorcycles (all 600cc, many 750cc and some 1000cc bikes). This plus the handling, reliability and fuel economy makes it hard to beat. Asking $23,500 for the car. PM me if you’re interested, I'm located in Sacramento CA.

OMG, that's an awesome car. I've always loved that body style of the RX7. Nice to see you took no shortcuts! Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks everyone, I thought you guys would like this combo here! I had a 327 V8 in my 240Z before this car but the old tech was nowhere near as badass as LSX engines as I'd learn. The last year made me a stronger advocate for these engines than I expected and it feels perfect in the 2800 lb RX7. I'm not an anti-ford guy but it sure has been fun beating supercharged mustangs with no effort - recently a no-option-left-unchecked stage 3 Roush and over the summer a '94 480rwhp paxton - licence plate "LS WHAT" 
. Vipers are fun too come to think about it. I now have a Mercedes 190E with a 5.0 V8 and can see power doesn't come as easily in the ford world. Maybe I can convert it to an LS1. Anyway, I appreciate the comments on the car.
