i want to bolt this motor in my first gen without having to wire fuel injection?...im guess im lost here!

Yes, I think Racing Beat offers an intake manifold that allows the use of an aftermarket carb. Like a Holley or Weber, but not sure which one.

does any one no what i have to do about a disributor

I think you are able to use one from a 12A engine but don't quote me on that. When you do the 13B swap in a 1st gen, you are going to need a 12A front cover and GSL-SE oil pan for sure anyways.

Hi
I'm doing exactly the same thing but for an airboat (one of the things with the 6 foot prop for thrust like a plane) . There is a book from www. rotaryaviation. com that says the 12A ditributor idea is done all the time in planes. This guy actually used 3 motorcycle carbs due to engine compartment clearance probs. I want to use a weber 48 IDA . The manifolds for weberw are on e bay alot . ED

Easy and you would not believe the power that motor can put out in a first gen.
Are you gonna rebuild the motor or just swap it in?

Run a webber, but make sure you get athe carb according to your specs and future upgrades.

I am running an 86 motor in my REPU. As was said earlier you will need your 12a front cover and a GSL-se oil pan. You will not be able to just bolt up the stock carb to it. I am running the stock 13b lower intake manifold and an aftermarket upper manifold with a Weber 48DCO. Other options are complete manifolds for a Holley or a Weber IDA. There are also complete DCO manifolds but not that common for 13b motors. The distributor and ignition system is stock 83 12a rx7 stuff.

I'm messing around with a T2 that will go into a REPU (it currently has an '86 6 port engine). Same story as Tom except it's an Atkins Camden SC and a carb.

yeah ... just choose which carbie you want. these days it seems to be very easily done. i remember the days when the Dell'Orto was your only bolt-on option - everything else required some sort of modification. if i remember right, the 12A front cover posed a bolt alignment problem with the SE oil pan, but i guess you could always drill the holes yourself. the 12A distributor works fine. just make sure you research the recommended timing for the carburetor you choose.

racing beat makes carb kits, so does atkins. I run a holley 600 on my s5 with a racing beat intake manifold. You can use the stock ignition but it will be less effective and more of a pain to get the car to idle properly. I switched over to the late 12a distributor and wired in a set msd block coils. runs great. the only thing I need now is a set 4-port housings and a sc.

God that looks so sweet... no EFI bullshit, no accessories, just that tiny little wankel. If it weren't for the gas mileage, I would have gone carbed

nice setup, just like mine but i had the stock cas, and a side draft....downdraft.....whatever its called

Dan H

Does anyone make an intake manifold that will fit an FC TII engine? Because I want to utilize the 4 port irons but will be using S5 NA internals.

Mazdatrix has an IDA manifold for the 13B-T/REW bolt patterns, but that's the only one i know of.

Sweet! Thanks for the info!
