LIVE AXLE CONVERSION FOR '93+ Mazda RX7
After months of testing, we are nearing our release date for the first live axle conversion for the FD Mazda RX7. This package was developed and tested on one of our shop cars during the summer of 2009. We've tested this design with a T56 manual and a powerglide (auto) transmission. The design has worked very well, and we are optimizing the torque arm length for our current power level.
Test Vehicle Specs:
'93 RX7 with 402ci LS2.
Video shot with auto transmission.
Power level - 685rwhp when measured with a manual transmission

Frequently Asked Questions -
Why did you make this? Do I need one for my car?
The Mazda IRS is a surprisingly strong piece given the power level of the factry rotary engine. Most V8 conversion cars will not need this. We've been using the IRS uprades for years, and they work well with certain transmissions and power levels. However, after breaking the center section with the KAAZ LSD in it multiple times, we knew that a stronger solution would be required. This is not necessary for the mild V8 installation. This solution is for those that want to race with confidence at power levels over 600 ft-lbs of torque.
The factory IRS works well. What kind of short times (60') have you had?
We've seen consistent 1.3X short times. For those new to drag racing, middle 1.3 second 60' times are very fast. With more testing and adjustments, this number will continue to improve.
Does it require welding? No, this is a bolt-in instalaltion.
When is it available? We will be shipping the first units in late November 2009
Pricing? We are evaluating water jet table time now and will having pricing by mid-November.
