Well picking up another FC(S5 GTU), i have a 13b-rew laying around, know whats involved, and have time to do this. But have be searching and found the two options for mounting and one being welding and one being drill and tap for the mounts. Was wondering if anyone has any pics of these methods and pics of it in the car? I know its been done a few times and want see which turned out the best and the most pratical.

Thanks.

 

seriously... this again. Why don't you google 'fc 13brew' select images....



Found by searching... https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...fc+13brew+pics

 

Pretty much because i would like to ask them questions and would like to see where they drilled and tapped the irons or welded the mounts to the iron, not pics of it sitting in the engine bay(seen that). Ive been searching the FAQ and crap but not much luck.

 

Hey bud ,its Johny I drilled and tapped the iron and had a mount fabbed for the other side, PM me if you want I ll call you.

Lots of good discussion in this thread: http://forum.teamfc3s.org/showthread.php?t=55215. Might have to go a couple pages in, but it's in there.

 

^Awesome that is exactly what i needed, thanks alot.

 

I so happen to search and stumble onto this thread...and thank god I did. I've wanted to do a Cosmo 13B-RE swapped into my 1988 GXL for a very long time and thought it would be the easiest way...that may be true, but when I saw this beautiful thread I'm starting to think differently. This has opened up many new ways of implanting a newer and better rotary engine into my car.


-Thanks

 

This is very well covered in the FAQ with links to multiple threads showing multiple methods.

 

Here are a couple of pics for you.
I drilled and tapped the centre iron to fit the factory FC r/h engine mount and modified the FC sump to bolt up to the FD front cover.
I also modified the l/h FC engine mount to pick up a bolt pattern that suited the FD centre plate.
