i guess that the front housings is a pre 84 13B housing

 

no he was not running premix..
it was sittining in da engine bay of my vert for about 6 mothns


thats what i thought too, we anyways i took it to my mechanic see if he can make it work hopefully it will work...

 

Sounds/looks like more trouble than it's worth

 

yea but when your broke u dont ahve much of a choice

 

You'll probably end up more broke if you try to use this one.

 

and your problely rite
but my mechanic said he got it in aredy so thats a good sign =]
he said its gonna b running good in a week...
he sounds cofident thats its goona run so well c wut happends

 

Hopefully his bill won't leave you too much more broke But as long as it gets you back and forth to work, I guess it's worth it. Definitely hard to make it these days w/ no wheels.

 

Good call on the housing. Didn't even notice that. No oil injector = very old.

 

it looks like the exhaust sleeves arn't even in it. that could probily be why

 

yea his charging me 3 bills so i think its not that bad rite?


[QUOTE][Good call on the housing. Didn't even notice that. No oil injector = very old./QUOTE]

does that mean he was running premix fuel???
cuz he was not..

 

He should have been running premix. Keep in mind there is another oil injector in the lower intake but Mazda installed two for a reason.

Seriously, this engine is a mutt of questionable lineage and is not worth using. Take it apart and sell the pieces off...

 

You quoted me, yet you didn't read it. I pointed out the sleeves were missing already.

Something I noticed was that the ACV is on the front where the OMP should be, not above the exhaust. I am interested to hear if this runs or not. Post a vid when you get it up.

 

That would be the S5 style electronic metering oil pump, not the ACV.

 

yea was thinkimng of doing that..
but too late his dropped it in aredy but im told its not gonna be running for another week but he said it will be..
and i dont under stand bcuz he was not running premix,but maybe he was just running on da lower intake oil injector?


for sure man hopefully he gets it going ill post a vid up when i get it back

 

Dude ive got the same motor and cant figure out wtf its from either!
Info on mine, appears to have same unusual center iron with what appears to be factory drilled holes on paseenger side for osme kind of side motor mount, Also the primary runners are shorter than a 2nd gen 13b's just like that first guys pictures

both my housings have oil metering holes like an s4, and have no exhaust sleeves. i have an s4 front cover on mine.



what doesnt make sence is the odd passenger motor mount holes , DO GSL-SE have the 4 bolt holes on the ehxuast side of the engine??

wit

 

is it posible this is from a mid 80s cosmo 6 port motor from japan? i ended up fabbing up a custom motor mount bracket for the passenger side and its been in my car for a while.

 

Thank you for clearing that up :P Not used to seeing those.

 

so you have the engine in you car now??? n its running?

 

ya i am running the motor in my picture in my 86 sport. Currently it is running in a 6 port turbo setup. unfortunitly while this motor had good compression it does have a bad coolent seal, i found out shorty after droping it in.
it still runs but over pressureizes the coolent system, so it gets low on water and over heats after an hr or so of driving.

it required some modification of the turbo manifold to clear where that unsual raised 4 bolt hole area on the passenger side of the center iron, and some custom fabbing of a motor mount bracket.

 

dang i had that blow seal thing with my first 13b too **** suxs...

so u used the 4 bolts holes n put the mount there rite?

enything other modifications u had to do besides the mounts?

 

yes i used the bolt holes on the pass side of block coupled with a custom fabed bracket i made.

its actually only using the bottom two bolt holes, as the stock turbo manifold hits where the top two bolt holes are, so i had to grind the upper ones away ( LOL i know seems crazy), but an na header does fit w/o modification., but i was going turbo.

besides the mount, i treated this block the same as any typical s4 na block.

 

huh...ok koo well sounds likes my mechanic should not have a problem doing this swap for me then..
thanx for the info man this is making me feel a lil better about me playing this guy to do this

 

That's a damn good deal if he gets it running

 

yea he works good/fast for cheap so yea hopefully he gets its going
