I was wanting to know how hard would it be to swap out the Carburated motor for a 13bt from a turbo rx7? I doubt it would be any time soon, but I have found a place that has a lot of salvaged motors. What would I need to do the full swap? Would it be hard to do or would it be straight forward?

 

When you grab the 13bt motor you should also grab the computer and engine wiring harness from the salvaged car too. I think you might need the tranny from the salvage yard too.

 

I have a 13BT right now in my originally 12A car.

It's non turbo, and I'm running a Megasquirt, but it's a 13BT engine...

It goes like any other 13B swap, AKA it's pretty much a bolt in if you use the 12A trans. (Need a N/A flywheel from the same year range as the engine) Trans life will be short, but oh well. Spare transes are cheaper than a custom driveshaft, which you'll need to do the Turbo tranny.
