Here is another question, what transmissions are direct bolt ons to the 13b-re? I heard that most FC trannys work. Is this correct? how much power is a safe amount that a FC tranny can take assuming it will be a direct bolt on onto the engine! Does any one sell pre fabricated engine mounts for putting into a FB? I doubt it but i figured i would ask.

For the RE you want a TII tranny, only. It will need to be modded to change the shifter position to the stock 1st gen location. How To is in the archives.
Kit, no there is none, rotarys came out before the invention of the 'Easy Button'. However, the parts needed are readily found. While the Easy Button does not work, The Search Button works just fine thank you.

IMHO the most important thing is this. No matter what!! When you get a used engine, ESPECIALLY one from Japan, just go ahead and rebuild it right off the bat. That way you don't get any nasty surprises a week into driving the car you just spent all the time on. Just my .02.

You're right though, some people do get lucky and pick up a Jspec motor that will last for another couple of years. But those people make up about 15-20% of everyone who buys an engine. So why not just take the extra week to rebuild the motor when you get it. Then you know it's good to go. That was the point I was trying to make.

just playing.. 
Ok, so if 15-20% are OK to use straight off the pallet that leavs 80-85% left to be rebuilt. So 80-85% of these jspecs are to rebuilt mostly by back yard mechanics. What do you think the success rate of a rebuild is from a back yard mechanic? I'd imagine it's pretty low. I bet the odds are better to just leave it alone and run it IF it has decent compression.
