Swapping my 93 rx7 engine for a 2003 rx7 engine

I have a 2003 rx7 engine and I want to swap my old engine out for it?
What kinds of problems can i expect when doing this?
I have everything: Engine, Turbos, wiring harness rear diff, ecu, drive shaft.
Also are there any good rotory specialists in or near Oxnard Ca. that can do a good job for a reasonable price?

i think you mean the 13b renesis engine from the rx8..

rx7's were discontinued in august of 2002, so it has to be the renesis engine..

wow what a waste of money for that **** that you don't need and for the cost of importing it

why not just get your motor rebuilt with all new seals and housings?

wtf are you going to do with all of your old parts? Good luck selling them

Plus there are slight differences in that engine you'll have to switch out everything for no reason.

Whew....

I think there are also problems with a few things namely right hand drive parts. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Go 20B.

Mariah Motorsports is a rotary specialist in Santa Barbara. I am told that they do very good work. They are not cheap.

It's not worth it. Take the money you would spend geting all that work done and buying the motor and drivetrain and just use it to get yourself a rebuild and a streetport.
