Attn: Second Gen Motorswap Guys . . . Help Me!
 
Okay, so on the way to work last week this total dipshit in front of me (on a one way access road and around a sharp curve by the way) decides he should make a "u-turn" in the middle of the frickin road. I tried to switch lanes, braked, but it was too late and as he proceeded to acheive the world's slowest u-turn I nail him in the his rear driver-side Q-panel (his fault thank God). Long story short, my car is jacked up front but the motor and tranny are untouched. As we all know the work/money situation is tight when you are in college and on your own two feet so I opted to buy this (help me out here) GXL/GTU(?) no motor/tranny for sixty bucks, straight body, never wrecked and with less rolling miles than my comatosed-ass FC. So two questions: (1) I am more than sure there is nothing special I have to do for this swap besides swap my motor/tranny, ecu, diff, driveshaft, new hi-flow fuel pump. I also plan to put all the "better peices" from my old FC on the new FC. Anything at all I should look into that I may be not thinking about? and question (2) What is my new FC? It has four pots up front, non-ABS, five lug, two seat, manual rack, (this is the part that gets me) electronic sports suspension- which will be tossed for world famous racing beat/AGX combo. But seriously none of that points me in the right direction. Help me out!

P.S.- I am not stupid enough to put a good motor with less than 20K into another rx7 without porting that mother first. A friend is doing a good sized street port for dirt cheap and I am excited at what my rx7 comrades are telling me to look forward to. I can't wait, but, how different does it feel? Where does the power start/stop? How much power should I expect? I'm hearing with the my mods it should be between 45-65 hp, is that true? I thought only 20% (50 hp or so) at the most. And besides a new hi-flow fuel pump, is it necessary to upgrade to bigger secondaries? When I do my T04E upgrade (.52/1.0) I'm doing injectors but whats the best? Help me out, and you will have done a good thing. Thank you endlessly.
