rx2 engine differences
#27
Ex fd *****
It the US the RX-3 came w/ a 12a or a 13b (in the RX-3 SP) only US car w/ the 10a was the R-100 ( we never OFFICIALLY got the Cosmo 110s here though a few were imported by dealers)

The US version of the RX3 SP had a 12A.
Good god, the flailing never ends around here, LOL.
The SPs DID have a different port configuration, though.
IIRC the secondary ports were in the center housing as opposed to the side housings, and the intake manifold was changed accordingly.

However it's rather weird why engine configurations differ so much from country to country.
For an example: the EU version of the RX-2 had a rather different 12A then the US one, hence the earlier confussion on power output. The ones overhere had more power then the later 12A RX-7's, with about 120hp.
Then there's the very strange fact that they had different names all over the world, making it very complicated to discuss this matter. Especially the Cosmo name is such a thing.
I suggest this link for those wanting to learn some more:

It's in German, but can easily be translated with some programs, I think. Mind you, before you all start writing about how wrong they are: remember, it's about the cars we got (Europe) or else the Japanese versions.
These specs can differ rather seriously from what you guys got.

The Twin dizzy 12A had 3 holes for a exhaust port.
