does anyone know if a 3rd gen motor will fit into a 2nd gen rx7? I am really interested in doing the transplant.

 

Anything will fit anywhere.

 

ANYTHING can be made to fit, given enough time and resources.
This is not a "drop-in" conversion by any definition.

Might I ask why you want to do this?

 

I want to do it because I have a N/A engine in my 88 rx7 and I want to put in a turbo or twin turbo engine, and I've always loved the engine in the third gen, so I wanted to see if I could easily put one in. Any more ?'s

 

go with cosmo 13b RE,, larger ports, more power potentual, and I hear its a easier conversion,,,, on top of that its cheaper

 

You do realize that the increased power is basically going to break all of the stock NA drivetrain parts, including your transmission, driveshaft, rear diff, and rear axles, right?&nbsp This would necessitate using all Turbo II parts to replace those NA parts.

Yes, I do realize that I would need to replace many parts, but I'm not going to drive it until I replace all stock parts that may break due to increased power. I was thinking about buying a junker T11 just for those parts, and then take my old parts and put them on that & sell it. Anyone else know of anything I would need?

 

It would be cheaper and easier to buy a T2. Then, you could sell your current car and use that money for modifications or repairs.

 

I like my car, I don't want a new one

 

haha i fukin love that. people get so attached to their cars specially the rx how could you not.

 

Okay, then the easiest way would be to buy a T2 and swap everything over that is related to T2.

Trust me, after doing engine work, the car will NOT feel the same... it won't be the same car you used to love. So you might as well just get another car to start with.

 

It'll be possesed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
