T&R has a 1st gen with a 3rd gen transplant. Check out their site at www.rx7s.com I think it's Romeo's car. It runs 10s last I heard.

It'd be cool to have a 13B-REW (with a fatty single turbo, of course) in my RX2

Damn, it did start!
this is my impression.
the REW uses 2 oil metering lines if I am understanding this. Assuming that this is factual one in theory could mount a 12a front cover on a REW while using the standard 12A to 13B swap. I am unsure about the turbos and personaly I would think about puting a 89-91 turbo 2 exhaust manifold and turbo to keep the complexitys and cost down.

I have a 13B JC Cosmo engine in my 85 first gen.
I have a Garrett turbo, T72 front with Q equivalant rear blade with 1.22 divided rear housing.
I am running a HITman tuned E6K.
Timing cover is a 12A turbo one I believe and I do not have the oil injection connected so I run premix.
or more go see www.ajc13b.com

I couldn't remember your name. Why don't you run an '86-'88 mechanical OMP?

12 sec fd, do you own a honda?It sure sounds like you do.Oh, and btw, I live in cali too, and there are quite a few shitty Hondas running around.Yeah, there are a few fast ones, but for the most part they have nothing.I can't tell you how many Hondas I see every day with stupid body kits and no engine mods.So, IMO, for the most part, Hondas are ricers.

8krpm is not enough
why not just drop in a TII, and put a big single on it? What's the advantage to the -REW that the B-T doesn't have? There's someone on here w/ a 1st gen with a 13B-T running 270rwHP. With the availability of j-spec TII motors, why not use those?
Maybe I'm missing something, but if yer gonna run a single turbo, why not go the tried-and-tested route? If you want the 3rd gen twins, well, that's different.

oh hehe...i guess you own a t2 huh...so how do you feel when all the people you call "ricers" laugh at you for trying to race a close to 10 year old car??? or better yet how would you feel if everyone with an FD laughed at you and looked down on you cuz you're driving an fc..? i can't begin to tell you how many turbo2's i put to rest but you don't hear me talking **** about all of them now do you..? the idea that honda drivers drive sorry cars that don't move for **** and are second rate could just as easily be directed to your car by a driver with an fd or 911 turbo or bugatti or whatever...not that clever and funny anymore huh...?

Hmmmmmm......My car and specs huh?I'm sorry, but di I ever say I had a 10 sec car?I don't think I did.Also, I believe I did say that there are SOME fast Hondas out there, but not many where I live.And for Hondas beating down on me, yeah there are some out there that could, but let's be honest here, most can't.My specs, lets see here.I have an 87 TII, with downpipe and high flow cat.OMG, you're right, with all those stupid mods I must be a ricer.As for times, I don't race much, and I have never been to the strip.I can however say that I have stayed right next to a 96 Z28, beat a newer Impala SS, Beat a Chevelle SS, hung with a moded 66 or so mustang, and killed a few Hondas.If there are SO many fast Hondas, how come I have never lost to one.Most won't even race.Let me give you an example of a stupid Honda.The other night I saw an older hatchback that had a turbo and BOV.The way it was whining it sounded like he was pushing at least 12 psi.I could tell he was gettin on it but it wasn't going anywhere.I mean WTF?Anyways, why would people in FD's, other than you, look down on me.They all love 7's, no matter what year, and aren't jerks just because their car is newer.And why would people in Hondas be laughing at my 13 year old car when it is beating their 2001 ***.It just doesn't make any sense to me.Oh well, I guess I'm done for now, cause I don't really feel much like arguing about something as stupid as this.It's an RX-7 forum, not a Honda forum.

Honda motors are great but FF is not
I am not trying to bad mouth Honda or anything but, building race cars out of front engine Front wheel drive cars is just a waste. Yeah Honda builds great motors and I have alot of respect for their engineering but no Honda could ever be compared to an RX-7 except the S2000 and NSX and those are way too expensive. Until Honda starts producing affordable rear wheel drive sports car I think I'll stay with My RX-7.
