ok,so i got a t2 with nothing besides a d-shaft and rear end..i BRIEFLY searched..but what specificly do i have to do to get the s5 NA into the s5 T2 body...does eveything hook up?...can u use the same rear end,is thare any diffrences that i should know


the gtu is complete

the t2 has the engine/tranny missing...but all the harness's still remain


anyone show me a link or something?




and if anyone wants to know,the t2 body has zero rust,and my na is looking like swiss cheese with 60k on a reman engine

 

why not sell the N/A and get an S5 engine and tranny? It'll be easier in the long run.

 

no time to do that,also i dont want to run turbo for multiple reasons,mainly becase the >200HP class at the local track...




but ya,anyone got anything

 

The driveshaft will not work on an n/a trans, you can get a workaround one from mazdatrix. Other then that it should be pretty boltin though you may want to use a n/a ECU.

I don't know how you would want to or if you need to rewire the harness for the n/a ecu.

You could always run a TII motor n/a and not deal with all of this.

 

run the N/A engine with a TII Flywheel,clutch,starter,slave. Etc..the Engine is N/A..the Rest from the Flywheel back is TII..that is it..

 

^ he doesn't have the TII trans...

I just noticed you have a complete n/a donor car. I would swap the whole drivetrain from the n/a. (You can swap rear subframes really easy)

Then when you have the time you can source a TII motor and trans and re-install the TII drivetrain. Stock TII never hit over 200hp so you don't have to worry about that.

 

Do they go by dyno hp or rated hp?

 

its estimated HP..its more of a honesty thing,if your noticably faster...then they dyno you(like 10 sec faster)

and farberio do i need to swap subframes?..the one i have is rusted pretty bad,the rest is good,id just rather stay away from most of the crap from the orignal body..things hittin the scrapper once im done

 

You don't have to swap the subframes, it would just make it a bit easier.

Drop both subframes, then swap the n/a diff and axles onto the TII subframe and reinstall.

The subframe is the exact same on all RX7's. (At least coupes, and probably verts).

And a stock rebuild s5 tii should have an estimated 180 at the fly.

 

sweet,ill look into the t2 swap.but the only problem is,i know im "accidently"gunna keep upping extra hp,and not do any footwork....

so ill stay slow for now and just do suspension

 

oh ya,what about instrument panel? are those just a plug and play affair?

 

As long as you stay within series it should be, the only thing you will need to check on is that I believe there is a gauge difference from turbo to n/a...so there may be a small wiring difference but it shouldn't be an important one.

 

go with the NA drivetrain. The turbo trans, rear end and everything weigh more, and if this is for the track, you definitely dont need more weight if its an NA engine pulling it around. Plus, you already have the heavier S5

 

wont you be paying Turbo insurance prices ? lol

 

+1

My insurance rates were exactly the same for my 88 NA, 88 TII, and 84 NA RX-7 coupes with State Farm and USAA. If you are paying extra for the TII, then you should get a different insurance company. Only the convertible should have a higher premium.

 

sweet,im in the gaurd,USAA is an option for me....effin tit...but at least i dont have to pay more on insurance


but ya,i DO NOT have the trans....
