12AT or 2nd gen13BT?????

its a long ways off but i figure i'll ask now so i can prepare. i want to put a 12 A turbo in my RX7 but i don't know how difficult it will be to find performance parts for it. money isn't really an issue but time kinda is. i had thought about putting a 2nd gen 13bt in it, you can find parts for those all over the place. it'd be nice to be uniqe, but i don't know if being uniqe would just be making it harder than its worth.

I'm kind of in the same situation. But i'm being somewhat unique by doing neither of what you say. I'm getting a Cosmo 2 rotor turbo engine. Why don't you get one of those? DF is like one of the fastest, if not fastest Rx7's in this forum, besides Rotary shacks 600+hp 12at rx7. So....yeah...if money isn't an issue, do what i'm doing! It's not like everyone has a Cosmo 13b-re under their hoods.

how difficult is the swap? and where can i find one? 230hp stock is very tempting.

to be honest i don't know. It looks kinda like the one from mariah motorsports that i'm gonna put on my RX but its not beefy enough.
