Im planning on getting my first RX7 FD,so i cant input on how well the 13b motor is,but i can speak on behalf the 2jzgte motor,and to sum it up in my opinion, the 2jzgte is such a power house motor witch out compensating Reliabilty and MPG.

thanks for the welcome guys..
just to fill you in..rotaries are impossible to maintain where I am. there hasn't been an official (nor unofficial) mazda dealership in this country since the mid 70s.
all (around 40/50) Rx7s were imported over the years from Japan and once the rotaries died they would be swapped out with 1jz/2jz.
there is no SWAP KIT! the existing engine cradle for the rotaries is used with some welded on fabricated joints and hangers to hold the 1jz/2jz in place. The firewall is not cut in anyway. The normal go high and lose the hood vs go low and move the stem issue is common here.
anyone who thinks only swap kits are the way to go (personally i want one) the truth is that we have a few very heavily tuned rx7s running 2jz using the same modified original engine cradle so it does work.

i think i saw a thread a while back on another forum about a 2jz swapped fd. it was really clean and it's insane how easy they make power. my tuner has a supra with a precision 6262 running like 13psi and he's making like high 600's.

2JZ most expensive engine to upgrade/tune/maintance .... ive worked on plently of these working at toyota of redlands... Id prefer LS1 ... from factory they will get you 300 to the wheel.. not to mention their light so if you want to drift/autocross ur weight ratio will be close to 60/40. I don't know the exact weight but i know they are lighter than a nissan ka24de.
