Now slap an LS1 into it .

A local guy recently finished getting an LS1 into an FD and got it started up and everything.

Good luck with it .

thats sweet man, i had an FD(92-95) for a while and loved it, i always wanted an FB tho. i wanted a brideported 13b in that exact car you have, nice pickup. good luck with it, rotaries=can be a nightmare.

i woulda stayed with a turbo rotary or LS series though, they look nicer.

Dont be knocking to looks of my cheese wedge....


I chose the 302 over other V8s because it is the easiest swap and fairly priced for the gain in HP.

I love a good turbo 2. I would almost rather have one of those than a FD and FB. look into this website.......

Humm would of put a 13b in there street ported it and got the racing beat carb setup and threw a holley 650 four barrel on there.Hey but your car good luck with it

FC's are definitely nice, and I definitely wouldn't complain if I had one, I just love how the FD look different than alot of the other 90's Japanese sports car, and I know around where I live I rarely see any. And since I have owned one, I'm kinda drawn towards them.
