Yeah I guess the RX7 needs a different engine, since the mazda rotory was notorious for being poorly cooled and unreliable.  Perhaps this is overkill?  nah....  What are the specs anyway?

sorry core: no specs..just found the pics. The rotary engines arent bad if maintained properly, but most dont know how to do so.

I would say its overkill..no more than that motor in a supra or a similarly built rotary. If its too fast, just turn the boost down :D


**EDIT** found the specs

making roughly 600hp

Building Blocks
                                            The 2JZ\'s bottom end is quite stout from the factory so a
                                            built bottom end is only needed for serious power
                                            applications. When it comes to hard parts the Supra 7\'s
                                            2JZ-GTE is filled with quality. JE Piston 8.5:1 compression
                                            forged slugs swing on Crower rods and this
                                            reciprocating mass spins on a knife-edged and balanced
                                            stock crankshaft.


Head Games
                                            Supras make their power in the turbo(s) and the head. SP
                                            has fortified the Supra-7 valvetrain with stainless-steel
                                            Ferrea valves (33.6mm intake, 29.5 mm exhaust) and
                                            Ferrea heavy-duty double springs, keepers and retainers.
                                            The high-speed capacity of this set-up is put to maximum
                                            utilization by a pair of HKS camshafts. The bumpsticks
                                            deliver 9.35mm of lift and 272 degrees of duration,
                                            ensuring the 2JZ can ingest all the oxygen it needs.


Pressure Points
                                            Pressurization is produced by a pair of HKS GT Series
                                            3037S turbos. The Garrett-based hairdryers sport a .87
                                            A/R on the hot side and a .60 A/R on the compressor
                                            side. A 56T-trim compressor wheel is in charge of
                                            packing the air, which makes its way to the engine via a
                                            front-mount Blitz air-to-air intercooler. An HKS wastegate
                                            bleeds off unneeded exhaust gases, while a pair of HKS
                                            Super Sequential blow-off valves are on call to relieve
                                            boost pressure in the intake tract between shifts.



No Fuelin\'
                                            Fuel is a key component in the power-generating process
                                            and to this end SP Engineering has installed the hardware
                                            and electronics with an eye to supporting four-digit
                                            power levels. It all starts with twin Denso high-flow
                                            pumps and -6 lines. At the rail flow is controlled by a Sard
                                            regulator and directed to the engine\'s 1000cc injectors.
                                            Old standbys, namely the HKS Vein Pressure Converter
                                            (VPC) and Graphic Control Computer (GCC), are on duty
                                            in accordance with an HKS EVC boost controller and an
                                            SP Engineering ROM-tuned stock ECU to oversee fueling
                                            strategies and boost.


Power Transference
                                            The application of power is handled by a stock Supra
                                            six-speed transmission outfitted with a C\'s short shifter
                                            and HKS triple-place clutch. At the rear, thrust is funneled
                                            through a RE Amemiya differential and custom Titanium
                                            axles. SP Engineering elected to use a metal driveshaft in
                                            lieu of a lightweigh aluminum or carbon fiber unit for
                                            durability reasons.


Re: Mamma Meeya
                                            The Supra-7 tallies righteous style points for its
                                            immaculately installed RE Amemiya fender flares and front
                                            fascia. 20/20 Autobody of City Of Industry handled the
                                            grafting and painting chores. Once the RX-7\'s flowing
                                            bodylines were massaged to perfection, five coats of
                                            Lamborghini yellow were unleashed on the Mazda. The
                                            results speak for themselves


Suspension Bridge
                                            For suspension, SP has elected to run HKS Drag
                                            coilovers specially imported for the project. This
                                            suspension set-up hints that the car will be expected to
                                            do a lot more than look pretty--quarter-mile blasts are in its
                                            future. Racing Beat sway bars and RE Amemiya tie rods
                                            and A-arms round out the undercarriage mods. Rolling
                                            stock consists of Blitz Technospeed aluminum and
                                            Yokohama AVS Sport rubber. Up front, 18x8.5 rims are
                                            joined by 235/ZR40-18 tires while the rear is fitted with an
                                            18x10.5 and 285/ZR35-18 combination. Before running
                                            out and going this fat on wheels and tires for your RX-7,
                                            remember, this baby is flared.

What are the big purple things?  Turbo chargers?  Looks like carbon fiber around the headlamps - nice touch.  I know if this were my car, I would immediately invest in a hood.   ;)

heh nice one

what kind of hood would fit on that though - it seems the turbo is in the way to me

still looks nice and i like supras - even though it is a rx7 body - its got a supra\'s heart in it :D

yup, those are CF headlight housings, as for the purple thingy\'s. I *think* those are what are called horns...something about increasing the velocity of the air the goes into the turbos.

I was told the hood is custom.

I think this car would be perfect for me, the sleek and sexy lines of the RX7, the damn near bullet proof supra 2JZ-GTE motor. What a match made in heaven :)
