What did this engine come out of??
Well i just got in my jspec engine from japan2la for my 85 rx7. Well the engine has alot of differnences from my old one. First it dosent have the under oil filter oil cooler...it has the lines running for a front mount oil cooler. The distributor is way different than mine, this one looks to be a points distributor with only two wires and a single two wire plug with one vac port. also it has some smaller holes in the housings under where the main exhaust ports are. does anyone know what this engine came out of or are these just some common differences between usdm and jspec??
thanx

its supposed to do that
I don't have any knowledge of the jdm options, but if that was a usdm motor I would say it is a 79-80.
your distributor will swap onto this motor, and upgrading to a front mount oil cooler is a good idea anyway

check the spark plug holes if doesn't have "eye brows" like your series 3, then yes I would agree 79 - 80, but 80 didn't have points dizzy in the US only 79 did. It also sounds like they were running the oil cooler up front like a SA or GSL-SE, sounds like a better way to go
