i am a nissan guy but i have always liked mazdas. now my 16 year old sister bought an rx7 and i am lost. I am a mechanic at an import shop and i have completed honda, mitsubishi, and nissan swaps. Is a turbo conversion or swap much harder because she is planning on having me do a swap into her 89 rx7. Iwas wondering what my options are for swaps. does the turbo fd motor fit or do i need a turbo 2 motor? will japanese motors be harder than a usdm motor? do I need a front clip or is everything i need in a motor set that comes with ecu, motor harness, motor, and tranny.

any helpful information or direction on where to find it will be greatly appreciated

 

the simple answer for the fd swap no it won't fit without major custom work and major money i would prefer the 13b re swap or the t2 swap the re swap is a twin turbo just like the fd but it is much easier to put in then the fd here's a link to it http://fc3spro.com/TECH/SWAP/COSMO/13b-re.html

 

TII seems to be the easiest and the RE is also a good choice, but you would need a TII tranny either way. 20B is very expensive....
