actually anyone have a suggestion on a fan?? ill probably buy a fluidyne radiator. i just have to gather more funds first. also im sorry; i would love to say there is a write up to show everyone....but no.

i would also like to thank, Brandon Tate for all his help wiring, helpful tips, and a extra set of hands through out the entire process.

The guys at rotary performance (Ari, Chris, Dave) for parts and tips. if anyone wants to know or see anything i can take more photos and provide info.

P.S. RP will be tuning my car.

i like the stock fan setup and corksport.com has a nice alum rad. for $299 (cheaper than a fluidyne)

Hi, at least one good thread regarding 13b swap into s4 or s5

I've read https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...c+13b+rew+swap

yes it has basic info, but I need more:

I have an r$ project witch is: http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forum...ad.php?t=49276
rx-4 sheel putted on an FC base and 13b rew engine.
I know that ir would be easyer to use 13 turbo, but I have only
NA or 2 13b REW engines, so I have no choice...


what is a full project describe

like mounts manufacture
engine wire connect to power apex or greddy or haltc or something else.
vacumes connection and ect.

P.s. I do have manual of FD engin, and one more, I have to build my 13b TT, but it is another song.

Could you help me?
here or t.pyragas@mazdaklubas.lt

Regards
Tomas

regarding other performance
roll bars; FD brakes on FC and suspenssion only koni
this car is not for drag drift or somthing
I'd rather put there an electric engine, but it's not intresting

I'll help save you some trouble. Put the motor and car in a storage bin and send it to me. I'll give you $2000.


Nice swap foreveryonetosee! The planet earth sticker is for your econobox rotary, right?

Great job, it looks really nice.

What engine management are you using? Did you make your own mounts?

Cool. Looks familiar
I cant wait till mine runs.
You have the same rad as me, so we both need an upgrade!
Are those pipes for the intercooler just an eBay kit? Or did somone fab them?

Im running a Haltech E8, what about you man?

so to answer everyone's questions. yes, by golly i need coilovers... BAD!!! but im looking for a deal + good pair so im prepared to wait. for a fan im using one from a ford torus hahaha but they come with something like 5000cfm's!!! i am running non-sequential. (both turbos run simultaneously) im running a haltech e6x with a 3bar map. the motor mounts im using are from a company called motivefab. with custom polyurethane bushings that were in my third gen when i totaled it. still are perfect; so i figured what the hell haha. but i honestly want to get my motor back on a left and take them out and cut about a quarter inch off. cause its still alittle hard to close my hood. not bad; but why not spend the extra time to make things look legit. but just fyi when my mounts break (not IF but WHEN) i will be replacing them with these

1.what are these solenoids?
2.what's the silver thing connected to the black tubes?
3.What is this circle of silver wires for?
4.Where did you connect the brake booster vacuum.

Where is your bov?

How did you wire your fan?

What is the orange plug for on your firewall?

I'm doing the same swap.

1. is the brake master solenoid
2. manual boost controller
3. wires i didnt use from the haltech FYI: fan,ac, that sort of thing
4. the orange plug is my map sensor
5.i connected it to the firewall closer to the passenger side ....or maybe thats the a/c ill have to look.
6. my bov is located on the back side of the intercooler piping right in front of the front driver side tire.......lol its drift style

and im glad your doing the swap its really not as bad as i thought it would be....just time consuming and remember to double check everything. cause im having problems firing t1 but it will be fixed soon.
