Hello every one this rx78581 i have a 85 gs rx7 that i have done some work to however my 12a just took a crap. So i purchased a 96 jdm 13b rew from a friend who ran into some money problems. I got the engine, trans wiring harness, ecu along with a t3-t4 hybrid a/r 60 hks turbo manifold tile blowoff valve and 52mm external waist gate all for $1,000. now that is out of the way does anyone now where i can get infromation on doing this swap or has the infromation themselves. I know there is a lot of work that needs to be done however i am not 100% positive of everything that needs to be done.

thank you rx78581

 

search there is a guy that has done a 13B rew onto his 1st gen he has the wholeright up about it.

 

+1

wasn't there something about using the 2nd gen tranny when doing this swap? anyways do some research through the search button, i have alot of questions too but i use the search button first and i usually get an answer.

 

and if you dont wanna continue, I would buy a few things from you

 

sorry this is something that is going to be finished it is my wife's present to me for my birthday so she might just kill me if i sold it

 

i wish i got sweet presents like that. Im lookin to do the same thing, i have an 85 12A and i want to upgrade to a 13b. and put a gsl rearend on my car. but if you get really gunghoe get a 3rd gen 13b with the twin turbo and put it into a 1st gen. . . im gonna do some searching.

yea man.. i cant wait to do that too. i have an 84 GS with my 12A in it, can't wait to swap to a 13BT.

 

Well, with what you have stated about the engine so far, plan on it being next year's B-day present. Personally, I would rebuild it before even thinking about install since it's imported and modded. Find a TII tranny and an S5 clutch setup.

You will need to spend many hours of reading in the 3rd gen and single turbo sections to get it set up right. You might consider going stand alone also.

Wow, 13brew swaps are very rare and very difficult to do.

You have a long, expensive, difficult journey ahead of you which hasn't been undertaken by many others. Expect a lack of specific info being available about the swap, and lots of fab work.

Welcome,
