Hi, everyone. Although I currently don't own an RX-7, or any rotary for that matter, I have at one time or another wanted one so I do have some basic knowledge of how rotary engines work. With that said, the real reason I'm here is to ask about swapping a 13BET into a friends AE86. We found a used 13BET w/5spd for $800 so it seems like a good deal to me. Because we are using the Hachi's rear end, is there anything other than a custom driveshaft, custom engine and tranny mounts and a standalone ecu required? Speaking about ecu's, does anyone have any feedback on the Megasquirt 2 V3 ecu? Thanks in advance for any at all help. Peace.

 

1.) Check compression.

OH and its a 13bt. no E

 

Once you start modding you think the hachi rear end will hold up? of you going with an lsd?

 

Yeah, we will probably go with the Kaaz unit. The only reason we're going with the Hachi rear as a base is because it's a 5 link which the FC is not.... I think.
