how expensive is a 12A to 13B swap
i am planning on doing a blow through single turbo setup on my 12A but a 13B would give me some extra power. however, i am on a very limited budget. how expensive would it be to swap in a 13B, take off the EFI and put on a weber or some other nice carb. i want the carb cause i want to get some carb tuning experience. plus not too many peeps have a 13b blow through turbo
edit: exclude the cost of the engine and carb, etc. i just want to know how much it will cost to get it in the car (aka mounting changes, etc). if its not too much i will get a used one and do the swap but if its alot ill just stick with the 12A

My blow-through is pretty fun.
Getting an exhaust manifold made is one of the harder things to get done correctly.
I bought my car for $4200 with the turbo and 13B already installed.

price for the mounting changes? $80. You just need to get the 12A - 13B mounting adapter from racing beat or mazdatrix. Make sure you use your 12a front cover on it too.

pillage6, your car sounds like it would be a blast to drive.
i will probly end up turboing the 12A tho to save money. i want to get at least 350hp out of it. someone has a 600+hp 12A on this forum, i wonder what his setup is.

im not questioning that its expensive to go fast, im wondering whether i should use the 12a or if i can swap the 13b with out too much money. according to hornbm its 80 bucks too install it. so i could get a used 13B probly from an fc for around 200, get a carb, get the mounting adapter and do the swap. hmm sounds pretty good, it would be fun too

That guy has sick cars! My car is fun, but since it is my daily driver, I am not going ballistic with it.
I boost about 12 psi daily, not even close to the turbo's efficiency range.
