so heres my question...I love my na rex but it just doesn't have what i'm looking for i want a good 350 to 400 wrhp so i'm asking i have almost 6k coming to me soon (selling cars and other items cause of a move i'm making) well i want to do a turbo swap*i know i could buy a nice TII but i just really like this car*so should i go 13b TII from an s5 or go with a 13b REW.....(not sure on this one but how many think i can build a cosmo 20b nicly for that...not really thinking that one but 3 rotors is a nice idea)

 

....wow not popular today....?

 

None of them. Go with the Cosmo 13B-RE Jspec.

 

i here from atkins the the cosmo re isn't as strong and is a harder mod...?

 

by the way if your just going to stop in and look plz atleast hit the poll so i will know what you guys think they all sound like good options with plenty of work thx for stoping in

 

don't quote me on this, but i believe a 20b install is around 30 grand???

just go for a 13bt, they can get lots of power...read up on here, i think one guy had like 570 at 22psi on a 13bt...but that may also be a dime a dozen type thing

 

Those who have done a 20B swap all say it's a money pit.

The write ups I've seen on the 13B REW talk about steering rack clearance, frame clearance, engine & tranny mount issues, etc..

There are a lot of happy drivers of modded 13BT's in that power class.

 

thx and i didn't plan on the 20b i just wanted to see what people thought of that i really wanted to know rew or 13bt thx i've been reading about all the turbo swaps and they all have there ups and downs wanted to get some advice from people who had a bit more knowlage about this sub than me

 

see I don't know man you need more options up there like making your n/a a turbo that way you have a turbo on high compression rotors witch = more power with less boost and faster spooling time. I think 6k would be way more than adiquate (sp) for this setup and you would be very pleased. I can't say from experiance however alot of people like aaron cake have done this and love the results plus you could do crazy things with 6k and this setup like rebuild and street port your engine (rotary ressurection has good prices).

 

ok 2 resons i don't want to go that rought....1)i here for lots of people IE atkinsrotary and such that they don't last long. 2) don't really need the spool to be that fast not dragracing it i need 350 400 for drift 400 perfer so i have room to tune to tracks and such

 

if your looking to get 350-400 hp... go to grannysspeedshop.com unless you believe that the rotor is the heart/soul/total being/ etc etc of the Rx-7.

 

sorry but i got a chevy already a nice 67 camaro thats getting a 383 stroker i don't need a piston pusher besides they are A heaver than the rotary and B yes the point of a rex is the rotory i don't get the v swaps and the most recint finding somone put a honda v-tec pos in an fc "No!" but any way it's nice and would make power but not for the ap i want it would mess with the weight Ratios

 

13bt

 

to the point nice

 

13bt pretty easy swap. 13brew not an easy swap. 20b not an easy swap. 13bre easier than 13brew and 20b. The RE swap is going to give you the most power potential. I have never heard of them being a weaker motor. They have larger intake ports, and runners. They are very capable of getting to those numbers.

well i'll look more into it

 

I swear the only reason this person has 184 posts is because he has told 184 people to go with a v8. No knowledge to be gained by this guy just an old broken record. Also it seems like aaron cake has had his engine for a while! But yeah the 13bt is a pretty stable engine if tuned right.

 

i understand that i'm not much for swaping different types of engine into cars mazda should stay mazda ford should stay ford why mix the were built that way for a reason

 

*bump*

 

13bt

Do the swap/rebuild for 2.5-3K (if you HAVE to have a S5... maybe a bit more) and use the rest for mods.

Ive heard from other members that the 13BRE and REW cost almost as much as a 20b swap.
