I found an FC in a nearby U-pick junkyard, and I'm trying to decide what I want.

I'm guessing the motor isn't good, as it looks like the intake and hood have both been off for quite some time.

I'm thinking about an EFI project for my 12A (I know it's not worth it compared to a 13B swap for power, I'm doing it for fun and already have a bunch of my parts)

I'm looking at the FC fuel pump for this fuel pump mod.

The CAS would be another part for that project.

Alternator? It's been sitting out for a bit, but is probably good.

Water Pump?

Anything else?

 

Fuse block

 

waterpump housing, fuse block, leading coil (the double post one on the front of the driver side strut tower), maybe the alternator, CAS...

 

Rip the engine out anyway.... Who knows you might get lucky and stumble across another 13B and you can put the two engines together and make one good one.

The intake manifolds won't match up so I don't think it would be easy to make it fuel injection; also I don't think there are ports for injectors on the 12A.


Alternator? Alternators are pretty universal (as long as they are internaly regulated, my S1 was not). I'm using one out of a Nissan frontier right now.

 

Front subframe, steering shaft, rack, control arms, knuckles, and struts.

 

Get the Alternator. It gives higher amps than the first gen's.

 

Transmission, radio surround, wiper switches, cluster surround, tail lights, FTP lenses, window switches, cd player (if it has one), mud flaps / mud guards (if it has them), duck bill spoiler (if it has one).

That's what I'd strip from it. But then again that's me and I drive an fc and don't mind having extra parts like those in my garage.

Some are mentioned cause they're rare and would be better off getting sold here or just keeping them. Better than them getting destroyed.

 

Driveshafts are worth money if they're good. Bought one for $40, sold for $100.

 

FMOC, lines, all banjos and crush gaskets, fog lights if it has them, rear diff or axle if complete, that's what I'd grab

 

I'm not really interested in putting a gen 2 13B in my car at the moment, and storage is already a problem.

I've already got the Re-Speed rack. The thought of doing the whole second gen subframe with control arms and struts hadn't occurred to me, I thought the 1st gens had narrower track width in the front.

Back to my storage problem. There're enough parts already stripped off of this that I think a few people with 2nd gens know that it's there. I don't think the transmission swap would be worth it for me with a 12A, and I'm pretty sure none of the interior stuff is of any use to me.

I've already got a FMOC and lines, and I don't think any of that other stuff stuff fits on an 82, trying to shoehorn in 2nd gen IRS is probably not worth the effort.

 

grab everything and put it all up for sale on the forums. Make some $$.

 

Time is harder to find than the little amount of money I can get out of RX-7 parts these days.
