i was wondering if anyone has ever swapped a 3gen 13BTT engine into a 2gen rx7 befor,if not is the engine the same as the 13B?Is this a gpood idea and will it bolt right up,i would think that it would because of the fact that it is a 13B,or did Masda change the design of the engine from 2nd generation to the 3rd generation????? thanx Josh

Easier way to do things....

Find a TII oil pan, use it as a template to drill and tap the center iron to use the stock 2nd Gen mounts. Pull off the stock Twins and vacuum hell, slap on a single turbo and manifold, find a Microtech or a Haltech and use that for EMS. Enjoy you're 3rd gen motor.

thanx alot but i have been doing alot of shopping on ebay and so far i got a large fmic(brand new) and i just got all steel braided lines new act clutch and fidenza all flywheel and last but not least the 13btt,and its the cosmos motor from canada so im thinking that it can go in for a hell of a lot cheaper than 10K,the car is gutted and i am redoing th whole thing inside and out,this is my first rx7 so im going nuts with this one!!!!I do not plan on driving this any time soon so time is not an issue,and i have about another 3,500 bucks to blow on this car so im excited,and if any one has some tips for me on the motor swap then any info would be verry much appreciated,i have been takig pics so far along the project ,start/finish ...The 13b n/t motor is for sale and is currntly hanging in my garage on a engine hoist and it has the ecu and the uncut wiring harness,new ngk plugs,and has the factory injectors,if interested give me a shout.........Josh........thax for the info and looking forward to my next post!!!

the 13B-RE swap is much simpler than the 13B-REW, you should have said you were using a cosmo engine and not a 3rd gen rx-7 engine. the two are totaly diffrent.

I an sorry and I give my apologies, but yes it is a cosmo engine and I did not know that ther is that much difference between the 13btt! So the cosmo engine would be a pretty easy or fairly easy swap? Has any one ever done this swap and if so I would like so tipaS tricks that would make my swap a lil easier, if not I'm up for the challenge!!!yes I am new to this site and as well to the whole rotary engine world but from what I have read and herd,it seems quite dumb to not choose a rotary!!

The 13b-re (cosmo engine) swap is fairly straightforward, but far from cheap. Here is a link on how to do it form ted's site: http://fc3spro.com/TECH/SWAP/COSMO/13b-re.html
Also, neither of the links work for the mounts, but I you can get them at http://www.banzairacing.net/2nd_gen_engine_brackets.htm
