K-Swapping My FD RX7: Episode 1

It's time to start the K20 swap on my FD RX7! With a K-Swap my FD will be easier to maintain, parts will be easier to find and cheaper, my fuel economy will be doubled, I'll make power easier, and the car will weigh less! The FD is one of the most attractive cars ever produced, and I can't wait to pair it with one of the best engine's ever made.

Andy and ASM are effing amazing! Of all the cars I've owned, my ultimate fave is my K-swapped S2K that Andy swapped from LS1. Cleanest swap, most reliable project car I've ever owned (12.5k miles without one issue in two summers on a Prayontoo K24 frankenstein build). Can't wait for upcoming episodes!!!

G&G, great job on the videos....all of them! Keep them coming, I'll keep on watching.

As a dude that just bought his first FD (13b REW powered) a few months back, I'll say you don't know what you're missing ditching the rotary. But as an overall car enthusiast, you do you man. This thing is going to be a ripper in its own right!

I know this will get buried in the comments, but the stock FD diff should be able to handle even your turbo K torque. Especially since you don't drag race. Most people change it out to get different ratios, but the factory 4.10 would match exactly what the S2000 had from the factory. If it is an FD auto diff, it would be a 3.90, which again should serve you well. Another awesome series. Can't wait to see this thing ripping on track.

I’ve been telling my friend that a k swap for an RX7 is the engine that makes the most sense and volia, you’re doing it as well. I’m really looking forward to the progress!

[masheralive]

the opening of this is amazing, seriously amazing.
I hope this build goes good.

Holy crap, the cinematography, the audio quality, the interviews, and the build work... this is one of the best produced YouTube automotive videos I've ever seen. Instant subscribe.

Ben: 🎶come with me, and you'll see a world full of osha violations🎶

[JunsMiniGarage]

You guys made the best car documentary videos on YouTube, the editing is so professional, the music is so good! It’s entertaining, relaxing, and educational at the same time!

went to highschool with andy and his younger brother. his dad was my basketball coach. in elementary school. you have no idea how small my world gets watching these videos with him in them.

[HellaNorCal]

At first I was so mad that you hard passed the 🔥 fire spiting Doritos, but the more I see the build and think about the advantages, I'm starting to like the Idea. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the wiring. 👍🏼

there is nothing better than watching a well qualified mechanic work. well done Andy

Love the fortune auto guy. Explains it perfectly. Reminds me of my dentist, oddly enough. The Porsche model clinches it 😂
