Where were 13B 4 ports used?
 
SCCA Formula Mazda uses a 13B non-turbo 4 port engine. Does anyone know what cars used this engine? I'm not sure that it ever came to the US.
Thanks,
Bob

they are probably running turbo blocks without the turbos.

a 4-port is 12a irons with 13b housings and rotors turbo or non

that only applies to "making" your own old-style 4-port 13B. the factory old 13Bs are the ones that Wackyracer listed above. any new-style 4-port 13B would have to be based on a turbo block, T, RE or REW. period.

Overseas never stopped the 4-port 13b's like they did here when the 1st gen rx-7 came out.
I've seen 84 to 85 13b 4-ports.

what were those engines used in? a Cosmo? a Luce? i thought the US was the only country to get 13B Gen I Rx-7s, since we didn't get a 12A Turbo - and of course we got the 6s.

I dont think they came in the 1st gen rx7's.
Back in the early 90's I knew a guy who use to import them a lot from where I don't know either.. They were basically 12a side plates with GSL-SE rotor housings from factory with carbs. That's about the same time I saw my first 6-port 12a motor something at the time I never knew exsisted
