ok, just transfered the title on my new baby. It's an 84 GSL, and it has several engine problem *no big surprise*

So, now I'm in the market for a stronger, faster engine. I'm thinking something from a third gen...but I'm open to sugestions.

Can anyone enlighten me?

There's how much work you're looking at...


and there's numerous people on here that have done that.

The 3rd Gen RX-7 engine is a 13B-REW, a turbocharged engine. It's NOT a straight bolt-in, and requires a LOT of fabrication (welder, etc). Most people go for the Cosmo 13BT swap, as it's a little easier, and a little less electrical crap to work with.

I repeat, in NO way is this going to be bolt-on! It will cost lots of money to do, and will take a lot of hard work. If you don't want to do that, I'd suggest just rebuild your engine, street port it, slap a carb and exhaust on it, and lighten the car up by removing the A/C, airpump, emissions crap, and interior parts.

Turbo = $$$$$
rebuild, carb, etc = $$$$

Turbo = work x 100
rebuild, carb, etc = work x 50

Turbo = power x 100
rebuild, carb, etc = power x 50

it's all up to you, and depends on what you're looking for...
