Do you want the 13BREW in or the GTU motor ?

how hard did you look? 1st page in archive has both t2 swap and 20B swap

The Chronicles of a Turbo II Swap
and
(ENGINE) 20B First Gen RX-7

quick search of "rew" in the first gen section yields a few good results such as 13B-REW into first gen and 13B REW redo.
