Project Kramer (Picture Flood)

"Cosmo" Kramer for those who know what's up.

What Mine Will look like when finished.


This is a Widebody 1st Gen in Crispeed's shop.
With a 93 Engine..

It is beautiful. The pics do NOT do it justice.

The Body is Custom, so don't ask. I have and got nowhere.

The intake ports may be big but the exhaust ports are what kick our ***. Those things look damn restrictive, why did they have to put those boxy looking exh sleves in there!?

How do you know it's a 95? Whats your SN? Mines E084025


Oh yeah, and thats a nice looking 1st gen

Ok so you guys see how low that motor is in the engine bay?

See if you look at my pictures the top most part of the cosmo intake manifold is right under the hood release...

Thats what I meant about dropping the engine another 1/2" to 3/4" down towards the ground after the intial 3/4" forward for the difference of the wider block...

Looks good tho, now I have another guinea pig besides setzep

By the way my engine number is E043215

Mike, the first Gen in the pics has a 93 RX-7 intake, not the Cosmo one - FYI.

Next time I am over there, I'll take some more pics.

I knew that, but are they really perched that much higher?

Also the exhaust ports look to be a left and a right. But mine look the same... See on the top of my block on the spark plug sides it has R's on both housings. I wonder if you block is actually a F and a R ?

I will be putting in 3rd Gen Exhaust sleeves in it.
I agree, they look smaller. My Tuner says Mazda always experimented with the cosmo engines. These supposedly offer more torque. I dunno why. Maybe because of the Luxury Car thing.

Setzep, Where is the SN? I am not sure where to look.
The engine is at the shop, so I'll have to wait till I go back. I am still not sure if I want to open it up and port it from the get go, than wait for it to eventually "go". Compression is VERY high on it though..

As far as height goes, maybe we should ask AJC13B (Steve). I don't think its much higher, if at all. After comparing the manifold to a 3rd gen one, I see that the entry angle of the Cosmo is steeper, (kinda like a narrow V6 as opposed to the 90degree V6). This is why the Intake ports are larger on the outiside (they are the same size inside) To keep the airflow with a straighter path.

As far as the F and R goes, rotorhousings are pretty much the same, only the rotors themselves cannot be swapped. This is my understanding.

The serial # is located on the front of the block, its the front housing in front of the rotor housing.... just directly behind the water pump housing.

Rotor housings may not be swappable for emissions port reasons, however all 13B rotors are swappable front to rear! It's only the late 12A rotors that can't be swapped because they have asymmetrical dishes.

See.. told ya I don't know ****.

I could have sworn that 13B Rotors also have an F and R on them. Oh well. Good, then i have a few spares

What! you can take the sleves out? Cool, how?

The s/n is stamped on the top of the front iron and should start with a "E". If you know your's is a 95 I'd like to see what your # is to try to guess what year mine is.
