joining the TII swap FB group finally
 

I dont know how many times or yrs ive looked at this forum for answers or browsed but i figure its my time to finally get on here and what better time to do it on my first swap !

I got 84 gslse putting a Series 5 Mazda 13B Rotary Racing Engine. w/ Racing Beat Exhaust Manifold and down pipe for Garret T3/T4 Turbo,Redline crank pulley ,30mm HKS Wastegate ,3rd Gen rotor housing ,GSL-SE Front Housing ,GSL-SE Oil Pan ,Braided Hoses ,Double Alternator Pulley ,Throttle Position Sensor ,Ford Alternator ,Custom Coil Bracket ,2 MSD Blaster Coils ,2 MSD 6A Timing Controllers ,Upgraded Injectors ,Secondary Throttle disabled ,3rd Gen, Series 6 rotor.

Parts im still tryin to get or bought by now
boost controller , rev limiter, rtek chip, drive shaft, intercooler pipe and bov, CXRacing fmic, Y bracket for TII tranny. i know some parts i got listed up there i probly wont use cuz i change mind about the disturbor and coil packs

well turns out the racing beat turbo manifold is to big to use w/ the hks 30 mm wastegate if anyone wants it make offers.

otherwise up date on the swap. finally got the engine and tranny in today along with the ecu and wiring harness. and the relays . Still tryin to figure out where to mount the coil packs as well

ended up cutting the top off mounting bracket off the stock gslse tranny where the the two bolts go through the cross memeber and cut off the long bolt off the TII Y bracket tranny and welded the mounting bolts to the Y bracket . and Bolted it on the tranny and then bolted the crossmember up and its good ! wish i took pics but lil day light had no time but will try post pics off it if can later tomrrow

now i gotta try to find the left side wiring harness to wire up the relays and other switchs i gotta splice and check valve for brake booster

The RTEK is for use with stock ECU, and stock ignition. If you end up using a distributor, it won't help your timing at all.

Also, you don't need to add a check valve to the brake booster. Either it has one built in,
or it's not needed. (I didn't add one)

Small world. I saw your car for the first time ever yesterday, while browsing
cardomain.

You car really does resemble the widebody SA22C from Japan. Good work!

ya i got the crank angle sensor in there now i wasnt goin to use the distirbutor.

and i was reading up on that check value and seen some ppl say that they were built in was goin to check that out when i was goin to head back out there.

Cardomain.. wow its been long time since i updated that lol say it is a same world if you found me on there lol

heres what i was talking about when tryin to make my mounting bracket for the trans. since i cant get a a good pic ill just show ya the one i cut and off the old one w/ a spare reg mount and spare Y bracket

i just cut the bolt off the Y bracket and welded that part i got off ( which u see thats whats on the trans on the pic) and welded it to the Y ;) n fits perfect

turns out i didnt have to cut that much off in the shifter boot area like we thought we had to

very sick build! What quick release set up is that? (steering wheel)

nice

thanks...

for your steering wheel ? i used a momo hub adaptor and NRG Quick release i believe .. w/ a momo steering wheel . very easy to do just look up on you tube . i Have not had any problems w/ it over the 3 yrs using it

btw on the QR i would buy the slim one and not the fat one i bought.. so u can still reach your turn signals and wipers lol its a bit of a reach now but i dont mind the extra leg room i have now

getting closer and closer.. hoping this wkd well be running !:nod:

I am doing the same swap to my 1985 GSL-SE, for the tranny mount I used the rubber blocks on the TII tranny mount and bolted them directly to the transmission, on the GSL-SE mount you just have to drill one hole and that's it. It took me 2 minutes to make the mount. :icon_tup:

realized its been long time since i been on here but the reason why is cause i got it running but compression is bad on front rotor so i gotta tear her back out and rebuild it ... which as burnt out i am w/ all the work and overtime i been doin . im taking it to the rotary doctor in joplin MO to rebuild it and ill put back in and try it again ill see if im able to post a vid on it running w/ the bad rotor to show ya all

heres the link of it running a lil rough w/ the front rotor on low compression

heres the pic i found finally on how i got the bracket made to mount the TII tranny

UPDATE : due to lack of overtime at work waiting for the holidays to pick it up looks like i might have to wait till begining of the new year to finish her :/

but on the up site of things

NEW : i just got the The Mariah GTU widebody kit for $100 for the car now. Or at least i think it is from the parts i got it looks like it lol . Did a 10 hour round trip to WI n back to get them last night before the guy that was selling them on craigslist found out what he had n was getting so many calls on it. so that there just made me feel like i won the LOTTO ! cant wait to get this all put on the car and get it running

:nod:

well since of course its tax season.. everyone has moneys for parts and so on.. so that means im back in on the build

i finally torn down the engine and found out i need new housings and the side seal on front rotor was crack and came off in broke pieces
Attachment 489928

but as i was looking for housings i ran into a complete s4 turbo motor im gonna try out .. stock
Attachment 489929Attachment 489930
if dont like it. ill tear it apart and part out the rest the motor and use the housings and port them out and use my ported irons on her

Really hope this one is good Josh. I'd use the stock engine if compression is good, at least all the parts match. :)

Big thanks to my friend John on helping me


Attachment 490196

So far got her to run for about 5 seconds due to vaccum leak on intake.. so I guess my home made cork gaskets ain't working since I forgot to order those last two gaskets i needed n Remembered at last min ... So gonna try again next week :/ but she runs and engine is good ! Best $500 spent so far

And my lamp for the night.

Attachment 490197

Looks awesome! I'll be ordering a few necessary gaskets from Atkins before I do the swap so I can take the external parts off the motor and paint it. I'll keep checking your thread here, looks like it will be a blast :biggrin:
