Greetings from Canada!
Hey Guys,
I'm Jessica, I work for Audi, and I love RX-7! Fell in love with an 85 a few years ago when a friend had one and we took it to autocross! Amazing! Just bought my 84 GSL, and can't wait to get working on it! Although the weather in Calgary, Alberta doesn't really permit for driving year round, I have a heated garage where it will be stored until the snow is gone!

I'm Taj, and I'm from Burnaby BC and the temperature is pretty mild here. I can drive my FC year round hehe but we dont get as many sunny days. Good tires are probably the most important thing...

Yeah , quite a bit . I am currently running a 4 port 13B I built a few years ago ; 74-75 RX4 block , huge monster ports with an old school Rotary Engineering dual Weber set-up , Racing Beat alum flywheel and full RB exhaust , Gilmer belt drive etc. It showed 188 RWHP on the dyno about 1-1/2 years ago ; its a real useable everyday motor.

Currently I don't have the factory AC hooked up (it works!) because I can't run the belt for the compressor from the Gilmer drive pulleys. Michael , to answer your question , the sensor on top of the center housing on the RX4 engines was for pollution control. When I built this (and most other) motors I always update with the latest parts available. In this case I used RX7 12A nitrided end housings as they last way longer than the early RX4 / Repu housings , thus no sensor.

OK , I stand corrected , it is a 1974-75 RX4 block with the exception of all the iron housings and oil pan. When I start with a rebuild of a core motor and use all of its internals and rotor housings and misc parts , that is generally the basis of my engine. So today I'll call it the Frankenstein 13B!
