It sounds like my moms weed wacker. I personally like the sound of a 2 rotor engine.

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.

 

I've seen stock S4 TII tranny's hold up to 450whp for extended periods of time. Granted some applications will wear out the tranny MUCH faster, but a street driven car with a SERIES 4 TII tranny will do just fine for about anything you want to do.

arent those just imported with miles on the im lookin for a reman for that price

 

Bah... Every engine is different. Some are good high compression engines some aren't. To simply say that you need to rebuild every jspec engine is a must is wrong. I bought a jspec 13b-re way back in feb of 2003, since then I've been boosting that sucker.

 

Coulden't agree more..

 

I'm not saying that every last JSpec motor you buy needs to be rebuilt. I'm just saying that it's a good idea. There's nothing more frustrating then getting that motor, installing it, and then having it let go 200 miles later. 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.

did you conduct a survey? Where are you getting your information?

 

that site is kind a like this one as well https://www.tigerjapanese.com/index.php?cPath=45 i was looking at buying an engine off them

 

I'm sorry, when I read I must have miss understood you 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.

 

It's been a while since I've been in the market for a jspec. Those prices seem really damn good! Almost worth it to buy one and shelf it for the future! Hmm... There is a B2000 for sale near me for 200 bucks... Must resist!
