Wtb: Fc3s Rx7

[Hoey]

This is more along the lines of a feeler thread, but regardless shoot me what you've got :Mint, crap, parts car etc.

Looking for FC3S

Must be 5spd.
Would REALLY rather an S5 but they are rare, so I might be interested in the "right" S4
Preferably Good body.
Preferably Turbo.
Preferably LHD.
No Verts.


Thanks a lot, even though it is a feeler, I am serious about buying there is just other mediums.

[Cheeze]

Turbo II, search, i have the only s4 selling afaik

[Hoey]

Yeah I saw it and thought about it....Im waiting till I see some S5's before making some moves on yours or a couple other S4's.

Thanks though, I might get back to you.

[Hoey]

Anyone else have anything, I have my eyes on one atm.

[Cheeze]

Not a whole lot of s5's around....not that i see anyways. I dont see alot of fc period

[NCLBNY]

My FC in on here for sale, it is RHD but it is also one of the cleanest in the city.(I have been told it is the cleanest, but that is one persons opinion) here is the link http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?s=&threadid=141918

[Hoey]

Yeah ive seen it. I would lean towards cleanest in the city too haha...Problem is its out of my price range:cry: But hey man nice car! - - If I were you I dont think i'd be selling it!
(I know its not going to happen but hey, PM me if you decide to part the rims!)

Cheeze, I know there isnt many S5's out there but in a way thats what makes me want one even more, If I find a nice S5 I plan on keeping it and turning it into a nice clean beast...So if I find one It will be worth waiting.

[Cheeze]

Yeh, for sure, i also would love an s5. There isnt really much of a difference, besides tail lights and a few cosmetic things. Actually, s5 has a few bad things about them, such as the gay electric oil metering pump, which likes to fail and fuck you over. The good outweigh the bad tho. S5 turbo is better, s5 rotors are 9:1 instead of 8.5:1

[Hoey]

The compression is what I want about S5's for preformance wise.
The tail lights are just sexy, dont like the S4 black bumper strip that runs around the car.

[Cheeze]

Yah, true.

shave it lol


the compression+better turbo only make 20 hp in difference, i already made that up with 10+ psi boost

[Hoey]

Well yes but its not necessarilly the power, but the power band.

It runs higher comp, but slightly lower boost...
S5's have a better low-end hp and torque curve, With exhaust and the boost up, the engine will reach its max power earlier.

Yeah I would shave the bumper strip but then the car would need paint, so now were talking money. And that money would fill the gap between S4 and S5, so I might aswell get S5 to save myself the hassle lol....Plus we both know its not a piece of cake to get S5 Tails.

I was unaware the turbo's were different, are the different sizes? or materials?

[Cheeze]

different exhaust side, and its not twin scroll. The s4 turbo has an actuator on it to cut off exhaust flow to one side of the turbo until a certain velocity is reached, then it opens. I removed mine.

also, teh s4 turbo has two differently sized inlets for exhaust side for the twin scroll, the s5 has same size and bigger.


with my s4 turbo at 10 psi of boost, i made 197 hp and 176 ft/lb to the wheels. with my s5 turbo i made 205 hp and 215 ft/lb of torque....figure that one out lol. Big difference


yah, with my car to make it be clean you would be stuck painting it anyways. Fortunately all the car needs is paint and its great otherwise besides a few pieces of plastic here and there. Thats why its so cheap, most turbo II sell for between 6 and 8 grand

[Hoey]

That actuator was probably set in place to give the car a little more kick in the low-end. Similiar to a Toyotas "TVIS" intakes, They have 2 runners, 1 is blocked at low RPM to make the motor more responsive and powerfull at low RPM. Then opens at high RPM to feed the engine.

They offset intlet ports is strange, I cant see any good coming from that design at all. If anything it would create different power outputs between the two rotors because of unequal backpressures.


Yes your car is cheap that is why i considered it
:clap:

[Cheeze]

nono


i mean on the turbo inlet

after the exhaust has left the exhaust ports....it goes thru the exhaust side of the tubo, thats where theyre different size holes for different velocity. When the actuator is not open, it pushes the exhaust gasses thru the smaller one, then when it opens it allows it thru both. I noticed better power when i deleted the stupid thing lol

[ApexDrift]

S4 10AE would be your best bet!
still mis mine :cry:

[Cheeze]

good luck finding a decent 10ae for less than 8k

[Maxt]

For the right price , I would part with my s4 n/a.. Its got series 5 tail lights as well..;)..

[red RX-7]

Max

will the PP motor come with it?

[rx7_turbo2]

If memory serves me right, that S4 n/a idles a bit rough ;)

[Maxt]

Yes it will come with it...

[Hoey]

Can i see some pics max?

[Maxt]

I havent got any recents of the outside, just some motor pics.
Car has kyb suspsension, hks lowering springs, os giken twin plate clutch, haltech e6k, peripheral port engine, series 5 turbo transmission, and a rear roll bar with rear angle cross bars. Asa 16 inch wheels, dtss eliminators, solid engine mounts, strut bar, mini battery and ram air functional TII hood, 2" equal length ss header, 4" border racing exhaust system.
Its one of a kind for sure, but I think you would have to be a pretty hardcore rotary junkie to appreciate it. In its primary tune it made 200 rwhp on a mustang dyno on 87 octane. What makes the car is that engine in the n/a gx model, it makes tweaked TII hp but with alot less weight..

[schurchill39]

I have a good project car. Check my sig.

[Hoey]

Sorry, not looking for a project car, and I dont want to do paint.
Thanks anyways!

[Hoey]

anyone got anything else? I have my eyes on a few

[Rocky]

There's an S5 NA for sale in Okotoks, which needs some work, but isn't in bad shape. $1500 obo I think. Check rx7club.com under the Canadian Classified section (subforum of the Canadian forum)

[Hoey]

Yeah its black, problem is I need a working car aswell.

Part the wheels? :cry:

[Cheeze]

Ive seen that car around airdrie.....what a sexy ride. Unfortunately its been touched by adam....

[Hoey]

Touched....I'd lean more towards built by Adam lol...The guy may make some stupid choices but again lets let the car speak for itself, He did a good job.

[Cheeze]

I have to admit, he did a good job...but hes still an ass.
