85_rx7_12a

well to start i bought an 1985 rx7 12a
$450 near perfect interior a little bit of dry rot on the steering wheel thats all
pretty got body except passenger fender and bumper
and a clean engine
its not bad for an 85

but i have here a 13b-rew engine trans ecu harness fuel pump well to sum it up a 1988 rx7 gtu with a 13b-rew that runs really good but its getting a 13bTT swap so i want the current engine in my 1st gen
how hard would this be what all do i need any cool step by step instructions around here or would it bolt right in ??

I'm confused.

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.
