what is needed to 13b N/A to 13b Turbo swap
can a fc 13b N/A engine and transmission be swapped with a 13b turbo and transmission with no issues? like would I need a whole new wiring harness for the engine. Because I'm thinking of doing an engine swap on a fc rx7 it has a bad engine and was thinking of changing it to a turbo 13b, the engine comes with a transmission, would the old harness for the trans and engine work or would I need the harness and ECU for the turbo version. ( also would I need other stuff such as a driveshaft etc.?)

Good luck. |
the engine harnii are different, but you can make the NA harness fit the turbo car. the S4 is more work than the S5
drive shaft and diff are also different, but you can buy a driveshaft that uses the T2 trans and NA diff, at stock-ish power it does ok. or you could even use the NA transmission (+ NA drive shaft and diff) for a while too. this swap can be pretty big, and IMO its perfectly acceptable to break it into smaller chunks, like only do the engine this year, do the trans/driveshaft/diff next year |
I would be remiss not to point out that this information is covered in the FAQ, with multiple links to writeups.
