Turbo II rx7 models

87-88 183hp stock. The first years of the TII.
89-92 200hp stock. Slightly different turbo, higher compression motor

3rd gen.

13bREW Pretty much the same motor as a 13bT. Twin turbocharged, Way better factory fuel injection.

I have seen people swap every motor with minimal ease.
TII trannies will swap as well

REW block is lots different from the T2 engine... the ports are relocated, the housings are stronger, the oiling system has been greatly improved as well as having race-style bearings, etc. (BETTER fuel injection? WHy do you think you have to be super-carful modding an FD? The factory setup is a blown engine waiting to happen!)

"Rex" is just a

way of saying RX, which lots of people think the only RX's made were RX-7s and totally ignore the RX-2/3/4/5/REPU/R-100.
