Rx7 13B swap??
I just recently bought a 1993 Mazda Rx7 Twin turbo 5 speed with a blown engine. Just ordered a 13B from Japan. I phoned around a few places and they all seems to refused to work on RX7 because of the Rotary engines. Is it that bad to do a swap on this car? I am located in Canada and that is where the car is originally from. What is all required to do the swap does anyone know? The motor that I got from japan came complete with the wiring, ecu,2 turbos, a/c compresser, alternator, Distributor, exhaust & intake manifold, etc.

here's a breakdown of how far and how long that trip would take:
From downtown Regina to downtown Pierceton, IN it would be 1283 miles. That's about 20 hours, obeying the speed limits. . .

Found a place to do it. The guy I got the motor from says that I use the Wires harness thats on the JDM motor. The mechanic says that I have to use the Factory harness becuase the JDM one is too short. Does any one know a thread or a link I can read up on this swap. I looked everywhere.

In my sig line is a link to the online FSMs. If you want to attempt the swap yourself, this will give you a good start. I would also start reading extensively in the 3rd gen section. If you're looking for a shop, post in the Canadian regional forum. Good luck with your swap.

Why? and depending on the year of the JDM harness/motor it may be a completely different ecu. The grounds are horribly spidered through the harness and I have not ever seen a schematic for one. I know several members on here have looked at it for some reason but gave up b/c it is just easier to use the USDM harness. Plus like mentioned above I do not think several of the sensor wires will not reach to the proper locations. If your old harness is worn out, I would just watch the for sale section for one in good condition or purchase a new one from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda.
In the end, it is up to you.
