if people can squeeze a big *** v8 in there im sure you can get that twin in,
but you may go way over budget doing so
i'll be very anxious to see how it turns out,
btw nice engine

 

V8kilr - believe it or not many V8s fit a lot easier than the rotary... a small-block Ford falls right in and "you can change the starter from under the hood" as one swapper noted.

while appealing torque-wise, they just don't have the simplicity or the obnoxious exhaust note that I like

 

I see 2 oil lines, but its a complex piece of equipment, looks like its gonna get scraped This thing is huge, and has like 4 of 5 wires going to it ...

 

Don't scrap it, see if it interchages with US-spec electronic OMPs and sell it. They cost $1400 (NO ****) new from Mazda. I have no clue what they get used, but it's also a lot, I'm sure!

 

Yeah i kno i definatley wasnt gonna throw it away!
They fetch about 3-400 on ebay

 

MIKE-P-28, ya gotta setup a website with your progess logs and pics for this conversion. Ya gotta!!!!!! Dang if I didn't live so far away I'd love to help ya do it. Anyway.... good luck with it!!!!!

 

Beleive me , im wearing this digital camera out And something as a note of interest I got really looking at it today, and you think 5 solenoids was a rats nest? This SOB has a 2 rows of them , It looks to be like 14 or so ! Vacuum lines everywhere, and Im freaking turbo stupid, but are all turbos water and oil cooled? these are

Oh and after my last little deal with websites, I doubt Im gonna be able to get one for free anywhere. I had a website conducting a different biz and I think maybe my IP is banned from a lot of them. I wont get into it, but lets just say they probally dont like me

 

I can get you a website NO problem. I've got servers , I've got bandwidth and I'm willing to help . Send me an email if wanna take me up on the offer.

 

Mike - Nice old link you have for my site there!

www.ajc13b.com

 

let me know what you are gonna do with the twins if you don't use 'em. dibs. i've got an '85 gsl with a 4port 13B and also this.....

 

Im gonna try something with them (Ducking and running! ) I'll probally end up going single, cuz I just dont think they are gonna fit, looks like its gonna bang the frame ...

@AJC13B Evil Aviator gave me those links... I need some more specific on the vacuum lines, I think that I can just jerk all of them since im gonna use a Haltech and the AC is going bye bye too ...

 

mike,do you already have everthing?
when do you plan on starting?
i wanna come down to where i dont have to stay more then a week "no i wont stay at your house for a full week"but still be able to see,and ride in,maybe drive? the finished product.lmk

 

You can come down whenever you want and stay whenever how long you want. But its gonna be a slow process... Theres just too much to do, I still got to get the Haltech, and several other things. I was shooting for having done by May, but that doesnt look to optimisitic. (Stezep you were right again, and you know what im talking about )

 

Found this page, has some very very good info on changing Seq to non seq turbo
