My first gen...
Hey I'm 16, and i know how rx7' work, im almost at the point where i can build a 13B (my brother has a second gen, and he is part of this forum) and I was wondering, i have-getting a great condition 1st gen (83 to be exact) and i have plans for it, but the biggst plans are: swapping out the junk 12A and replacing it with a Turbo II 13B, i can do all the work along with my brother, we know all the parts we need, and we think it could rip. Think i should do it?

Although you can create a pretty good amount of power out of a 13bt I would still have to say that I would go with a 12a...get a heavy bridgeport...lightened rotors and flywheel...racing clutch...short stroke shifter and put a huge *** turbo on it...and guarnteed you'll create a **** load of power!! You'll never regret it...at least I don't!!

WELL I what i was gonna do is have 3 mm apex seals on the 13B Rotors, with a garrett 24 in front mount, custom piping to the T27 Turbo,with all the other misc. stuff needed, plus a 50 mm blowoff valve, brand new rad, port and polish everything, it could be a beast.

You do not lose traction in 5th, Especially with those drag radials.
Damn - you've been around cubans too long.
