can you put a ka in an rx7?
We were actually going to do a KA into my old FC, simply for the fact itd be alot cheaper plus wed already have the mounts and drive shaft made and when we had the $ we could just swap an SR right in later. We ended up just doing another 13b though
Even without having a good bit of experience with them, an LT1/T56 setup can be had for $1500, without much trouble at all, a cam swap and a little effort in tuning you are at 360 RWHP, with less spent than a SR install with intake,exhaust,fmic.
To add to this you've also got a bigger clutch that is going to hold more power at the same clamp load so you are ahead there, you now have a 140A alternator stock compared to what ? 80A ?, you also have a T56 that is going to actually take more abuse than you can possibly throw at it. There are many more reasons the LT1 is a better choice than the SR, or KA.

full on track cars can take a lot more liberties with shit than a street car. bell bottom kits and crazy wheel fitment look cool sliding on a track, but when i want to drive to taco bus, im going to ruin all of that shit. so it just doesnt work for me. function over fashion.

daam thx for the advice guys i was thinking of rebuilding the rotary but ive heard they are piece of shit.. i wanted a ka but an sr wuldnt be bad .. do you any1 who rebuilds rotary.. and do i need to adjust the motor mounts for the ka to fit? also the lt1 seems a little more reasonable though i will have to look more into the prices i am playing with about 1500
you will be making completely custom motor mounts to do a KA, a custom driveshaft, custom wiring harness, IDK WTF you will do about the radiator since the rx7 one mounts so weird, probably wil have to run a rx7 rad. with custom hoses, custom exhaust/downpipe ETC ETC ETC. Sounds like you dont know to much about it so I wouldnt attempt it.

So your SR is great ? And not a piece of shit ?
SR 205 HP/203 TQ
Stock LT1
300 HP/340 TQ
Stock KA24DE
155 HP
160 FT lbs
LT1 at 95 HP and 137 FT lbs more than the SR
And 145 HP, 180 Ft LBs over the KA24DE
Yup, you are right, complete waste of time.
