13B n/a -to- Turbo conversion?

Would the parts off of a 13b turbo fit my none turbo?
Which ones would, and which ones wouldn't.
From what I'v heard the only difference is the flywheel.

Yup, read the FAQ, check the Archives, use the Search feature, and read up some more information at Rotary Resurrection from Kevin Landers.

The only part the NA and turbo engines share is the eccentric shaft.

What idiot told you that? Don't tell me Cutter Mazda.
You're better off buying a TII. You're in for a lot of sweats and headaches. There are a shitload of engine parts that are NOT interchangeable. It's cheaper to buy a TII. Good luck finding a decent one on the island.

it's not necessarily cheaper to buy a turbo 2 if you know how and have the means to convert it yourself. i bought a 89 gxl for $750 and i about have everything to get it going and haven't spent over $2000 including the price of the car.

That's because you have KNOWLEDGE of what to do, plus me to call when you don't. And, you have TIME to do it all.

Most people, 95% or so, do NOT have that, so the swap is much harder and more expensive.
