I have a question for you. I have two 2nd generation RX7's. One is an '88, the other a '91. The '88 is manual, the '91 automatic. I want to switch the engine of the automatic '91 into the manual '88. Do you think this is possible, from what i've researched i think i just need to have the ECU from the '88 programmed for the engine of the '91. Am I all wrong? Thanks.

Hey, you need a 91 ECU from a manual, and it should work fine. you have to pull the auto tranny stuff, bolt on a flywheel, throw a clutch on there, and you are ready to go.
The wiring harnesses are a bit different between the two cars, so that may present a problem.
Sean, may I have a copy of the TII writeup? Thanks!

I'm sending out a bunch today, home from work on rest. If you want one, now is your last chance for about two months, as I leave in a couple days for work again.

You can definitely swing by sometime though, check out how the project is going, maybe take a look at the products I have in development... Maybe test out a few parts for me? (My car won't be running...)

Also I have a firewire card in my comp, so if you ever need a hand capturing the vids, let me know. Definately drop me a message when you get back, I wouldn't mind apprenticing with a rotary master for a few hours

Would you be interested in testing a few of my products in about 3 months or so? You'd get a huge discount on them, plus a couple free dyno's on your car.

There is no such thing as a ECU for a manual and a ECU for a automatic. A 91 ECU is good for automatic or manual cars. An ECU for a given year is good for either manual or automatic.Thats my understanding of ECU's.

Hi Sean,
You sent me an email with the attachments but they were empty. I could see that they were word docs but they also said 0bytes. Could I trouble you to resend those?
Thanks

Maybe we'll have to fix that problem.
N/A is what I am looking for as a test car though.
