LiamD Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Of course it could fit, with serious modification.Not a particularly good engine though. Heavy (for what they are) and expensive to maintain and tune.There is a reason why more and more RX7's have LSX based engines in them. Even more impressive, the LSX engines are just as light as a rotary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 anything can be made to fit if you really want it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 And YOU know that none of those who replied knows if it can be made to fit?Yes. Because nobody on here has an RX7 powered Lupo or Arosa, therefore nobody has experience of the work required to make it fit.Q.E.D.But that doesn't mean it can't be done.

MdBrOoN Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 You could probably fit it in a lupo if you folded the back seats down. might want to put a sheet down incase its oily though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Well yeah, that's been there for near on 8 months... But why does it make a mockery?I'm not member of the year 2009 because 'new people' like me...I'm member of the year because I consistently hand out an evenly distributed amount of knowledgeable advice, sarcastic abuse and a boat load of honesty!

Haakon Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 My two cars:Same engine in the cosmo as a rx-7, only 4 inches longer, but same width and height. Both my EYES and my tape measure says that a 13b-rew engine from a fd rx-7 don't fit in the Lupo, but hey what do I know? I haven't actually TRIED to fit it in... Right?

karting Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 love the old cosmo's engines. MY current toy car is a RX7 FD3S would love a 20b engine to go in it, espch as i did the eccentric shaft last weekend, on the 13b engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Then you can have some more pics The lower red line marks the space needed for the pulleys, and as you would have to mount it transversely in a fwd Lupo, even this space in longer than the length of the engine bay, never mind the space needed marked by the upper red line, which is the space needed for the turbos on one side, and the spark plugs on the other side. The oil filter sits even longer out than the end of the red line, forgot to take that into account. So please anyone who wants to do this conversion, please film it and upload on youtube, I bet we all will learn a lot new swearwords we didn't even know about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karting Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Haakan the 20b's are lovley engines, and with perphial porting sound the absoulte ****.Somehow i think he would struggle to fit my engine in a lupo, in fact i dont even think my v-mount would fit in there!

Haakon Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yeah, cause if fits sooo good longitudaly in a engine bay half the length. Might as well fit a 7 liter Chevrolet LS7 V8 then, cause that fits in a RX7 fd3s engine bay. And its a breeze making a Lupo RWD, with the engine halfway under the dash, and gearbox behind it. Wouldn't need a driveshaft though, the rear diff would fit right on the end of the gearbox Happy building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Then you can have some more pics Mate, this thread was the most boring un-useful thread I have ever come across and almost deleted till I saw your post.Best post of 2010 for me.
