RX7 ~ How to diff from FC wit FD?

[QueenBee]

Sum silly Q but watz da diff between both n how to diff if itz FC or FD? :ph34r:

 

[joomba]

their looks of course.. :lol:

both oso diff.. easy to tell..

to me fc more boxy, aged look.. fd very pretty and never age (it's around since the late 1992)..

diff engine too.. fc=13b/turboII, fd=13bREW..



correct me if i'm wrong, but can ask rotary sifu to explain further ;)

QB the looks can really tell....fc looks boxy and fd look roundy....very big difference once u see both of it u will know which is FD and FC....FD look alot nicer though.... :lol:

 

[SideWaysGrey]

a simpler way.
FC has air scoop and more straight shape. rear lights kindda straight line.
FD doesnt have air scoop and more rounded. rear lights looks like 180sx old model and usually tinted and has a very blackish look.
Also you'll find the FC is taller and the FD is shorter.
Hope this helps.

[RERider]

FD... ;)

 

[RERider]

FD... ;) QB, can u see the diff from the pic?

 

[QueenBee]

Oooooooo...but in term of performance, FC tho not as cool lookin as FD...is betta than FD rite? FD is juz da look, rite? Correct me if I'm wrong. I juz heard bout diz statement from a fren. Cheerz

 

[SideWaysGrey]

No. FC is not better than FD on stock.

FC runs on 13B single turbo produces 185hp / 6500rpm & 25.0 / 3500 torque

FD runs on 13B REW (Type RS) twin turbo produces 280 hp /6500 & 32.0 / 5000 of torque. A slight variance in the Type R & Type RB

 

[QueenBee]

LOl yea...tatz wat I meant...FC is betta than FD in term of performance. Sowwy my Q were a lil blur ;)

 

[QueenBee]

RERider >>> Yez I can c da diff :)

Cud FC car body itself changed to FD'z body?

i have zero knowledge about rx7 family,

mind i ask 1 Q, is there any FA, FB before FC and FD?
and will MAZDA release FE in the future? or RX8 is actually the next generation of RX7?

IMHO, RX8 is different class from RX7...

 

[joomba]

there will be a next gen rx7.. but its not an rx8, an rx8 is an rx8..

 

[slacker]

There aren't any FA's but there are FB's. The first generation rx7's are split between being called sa22c's and FB3S's. Then you got the FC then the FD and the chassis code for the RX-8 is actually FE.

The FD and FC's are almost totally different cars yet similar due to the same engineering concepts used to design both.

Some differences

- FDs have somewhat of a front mount intercooler (less heat soak) while the FC have a top mount intercooler
- FDs have Torsen type LSD, Zenki FCs have clutch type LSD, Kouki FC has viscous type LSD
- FDs have Sequential twin turbo, FC has a single turbocharger
- FDs have solid corner seals
- Rotors get lighter as the models progressed and compression ratios are different
- FD engine 13B-REW has different engine mount locations than the FC's 13BT
- FDs have Beefed up housings (capable of handling higher hp)
- FDs have different intake manifold and throttlebody design
- FDs and FCs have different suspension geometry
- FDs have 550cc primary injectors and 850cc secondary injectors while FCs have 550cc injectors for both primary and secondary
- 13B-REW has a more efficient design and have only 2 oil injector holes while FCs have 4 oil injector holes
- FCs have a dynamic rear suspension while the FD does not
- FD stock offset is +50 FC stock offset is +40
