New to this forum thing anyway I am looking into putting a 13b rew in a 1st generation 1985 rx7 does anyone know of anyone or any websites that have any info on this The more input the better zoom zoom zoom

 

Just trying to get the ball rolling in the group keep them tires smokin zoom zoom zoom

 

i know of one in NJ. the car runs 10's in the 1/4.... expect lots of custom work and lots of money. your gonna need a 13B-REW and a have to swap over some of the first gen 13B parts like front cover etc. i'm sure some other people can help more than me....

 

He's better off dropping the motor in without trying to change the front cover etc. and making custom mounts.

If he makes a small cradle at the back of the engine bay then he can use the stock FD mounts. The front cover from a 1st gen probably won't work. I know that the front cover from a 2nd gen causes fitment problems with the oil pan.

hmm ito knows how to make it work..... he said oil pan, front cover and probably something else. same thing you use to put a 13B in a mazda B2200

 

I'm not worried about the oil pan i will be putting in a sump

 

Isn't that the guy from T&R racing that has a fd engine in an FB?
