the Corksport JDM 12a engine, would that be a good buy? i recently got a 1979 rx7, been sitting for 9 years (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT)


putting this engine in it (http://corksport.com/store/category/...c_engines.html), what are everyones thoughts? it has 165hp, but im not sure how it would bolt up, if it could, to the USDM rx's... thx for your help!

 

Search!

Type in 12at jdm and you will get a few pages of already very informative threads.

 

Jeezus, is that you?

It would be a better idea to swap in a 13BT if you wanted more hp. The 12AT was only sold in small numbers in Japan, never in the US, so it's harder to find replacement parts/rebuild kits. If you ask me though, you should go with a carb'd 13B 4-port or a 12A. 12A's are cheap, are easier to find parts for (compared to a 12AT) and when in tune, they can get really good gas mileage while still making enough HP to have fun with.

 

there is a **** load of information about a turboed 12a.
the jdm 12at as said above was sold limited altho there are some member around the world with them


there is lots of different ways to go about your turbod 12a depending on your driving references

im considering bridgeporting my pineapple racing streetport and going with a throttle body and use the mega squirt. once i have achived this ill consider a turbo as its really simple with fi

search and you will find lots of threads on different setups

 

you know me oh so well snub, come back to sc.net!

 

Corksport charges alot for shipping. Check it out?

 

yeah, after its all said and done, the engine would be about 1250..

 

You might want to call them IIRC the only 12at that they had was dismantled. I might be wrong though this was about 2 months ago...
