well i just picked up a 88 rx-7, and to be honest i know rats *** about this car, ive done my google research and wikipedia stuff, but i wanted to know since my 13b is N/A i was thinking about swapping it for the 13B TT Sequential Motor, would this be a direct Swap or would there be modifications needed.

Btw where can i find aftermarket parts for the rx-7 in Toronto

 

The short answer no, you cant directly bolt in the fd motor into your car.
You can however directly bolt in a 13bt out of a s4 or s5, as long as you have the electronics to run the motor that is.

A much better solution since the stock twins in the fd can be troublesome to start with and will be going single turbo to make big power anyways.

Search through the forum a bit and see for yourself.

 

At the same time you could drop in a 13B RE twin turbo (out of a cosmo), but that also requires modifications, albeit much less than an REW. Regardless of what you do, a single turbo will be cheaper and hella easier to do.

 

I found in most cases it might be cheaper to buy a hole Tll car.

Heres the list : now theres ways around it , cutting corners etc, but they will eventually come back and bite you and cost you alot of money.

so the normal good way:

13bt motor ( 87-91 turbo FC ) ( rebuild if you have the funds )
Transmission from a turbo car with clutch and flyweel
Turbo driveshaft, rear end with turbo halfshafts
use the stock Top mount intercooler, youll need a T2 hood or go front mout intercooler
Walbro fuel pump
a T2 ECU and MAF sensor and harness

Thats the simplest way.

I would recommend going stand alone , as it saves tons of hassle and makes the car more enjoyable.

 

Buy this:

and put in a standalone. As long as you are keeping the power reasonable, you could use just about anything.

 

Are the Turbo DriveShafts Different From The N/A?

 

Yea, the whole Turbo driveline is completely different. Its much larger to withstand the extra power.

 

Mazdatrix offers a Driveshaft to use a turbo engine and transmission with a stock N/A Rear End. Dont expect the N/A rear end to hold up much past stock turbo power, but it is a solution if you can't source TII Diff and Shafts.

For the Cost of the driveshaft, you could probably get a Diff and Shafts.

 

Nah, NA rear end is strong. Lots of V8 conversions use the NA rear end and they don't seem to have many problems...
