does anyone know if the mounts are the same on a 13b from a 86-87 N/A as the GSL-LE ones? also anyone know how hard it would be to swap the 86 n/a to a gsl le? andhow time consuming?

 

SOMEONE!

 

Totally different.

You can use the engine, if you swap to:

The SE Front cover
The SE Oil Pick-up
The SE Oil Pan
The SE Crossmember.

 

wait, explain that lamen terms for me! becausei dont knwo what you're talking about.

 

No, they are different.

If you use all the SE stuff, you should be fine. Use EVERYTHING from the SE engine, and just swap the Block with the FC engine.

Particularly:
The SE Front cover
The SE Oil Pick-up
The SE Oil Pan
The SE Crossmember.

Better?

 

Explain the "Oil Pick-up" and "SE Crossmemeber", even I dont know exactly what those are.

Pllleeease???

Thanks

so i wouldnt need the transmission? or would i? and how long and time consuming do you think it would take?

 

Just use the Se Transmission.

 

Oil Pick-Up.



The Cross-member (engine mount) is bolted to the front cover in this pic.

 

so if i got a shop to do it for me how mulong do you think it would take? and labor is a dollar a minute.

 

and so i would basically need a gsl-le with a blown motor?

 

If you keep the Fuel Injection and emmission controls, it shouldn't take more than a day or two, taking your time.

If you just have a carb and header, probably half a day if you know what you're doing.

I don't understand, don't you already have the GSL-SE? Be more specific.

 

i have a wrecked 87 N/A. the body is fucked. everything in the engine except for a broken throttle cable is great. i want to get a gsl-le and put my 87 n/a engine in it. i wont get any money out of the insurance i bet. so im on a budget. im trying to sell everything i can in my 87 n/a. except what i need for an engine swap.

 

You do know that if you buy a GSL-SE, - that it already has a fuel injected 13B engine in it right?

 

yes, thats why i want it. for an easier swap. but i want it CHEAP, and with a BLOWN MOTOR or NOT WORKING so i can use my GOOD MOTOR, so it doesnt go to waste.

 

so would my motor just drop right into the gsl-le?????????? would there be a lot of fabrication????

 

It will go into an SE with no problem, with the things I have already listed.

It will go into ANY 1st gen with the same things I have already listed, plus an aftermarket carb.

Easy enough?

 

thank you. can you get on AIM or somthing so i can ask you some direct questions?

 

1. Sell everything FC related except for the engine itself. You don't need the intakes or anything.

2. Buy blown GSL-SE

3. Remove -SE engine, transfer every external part mentioned in this thread onto FC engine.

4. Reinstall into car.

 

im going to keep the headers and race pipe i have. i can still use them on my motor. cant i? just a little fabrication to fit a GSL-LE muffler.

 

OMG!! This is you?!!
They just finished telling you not to drive foolish, and now you wrecked your FC?

i wasnt driving foolishly at all. i was just calmly on my way home from picking up my paycheck. and believe me. from now on, im taking NO chances at all. if i get another RX7 im saving all of my fast driving for the track. even though i wasnt speeding/dragracing/fishtailing at the time of this wreck. im pretty sure HE was speeding! but dont get offf the subject.

how much should i offer for a gsl-le with :

blown motor, perfect everything else?

blown motor, alright body, rust in the rear wheel wells? (almost all rust starts there in first generations i guess)

blown motor, the rest is in bad condition?

suck everything?

$$$$$$$$???????

 

and if i got in a wreck while drag racing id be too embarassed to say anything on here because i was saying how i only did it when there was nothing around and it was a big open street with no cars anywhere. which i did do. but not anymore. i will feel horrible looking at another wrecked rx7

 

i'm doing this swap in to my 84 gs. the main worry is the wire harness. i hope to get thru that asap. i want to have this swap donw within the next two weeks!

 

Well see the car you are looking for is a

<blink><font color="#FF0000">GSL-SE</font></blink>

NOT

GSL-LE

so looking for the right car is a good first step
