Talking 13B turbo II swap into 85 Rx7

Im new into the board of Rx7club.com but not new to rotaries. I currently have 12A Bridgey in my 85 rx. Im selling my 12A Bridgey soon in order to go fuel injection and also swap a 13B turbo II into my first gen as well.

I was wondering all that is needed to complete the swap into my first gen rx7. If someone could help give me a list of all the stuff needed to complete the swap in my first gen rx7 that would be wonderful and awesome as im trying to complete the swap soon as possible and need a list of stuff needed to complete the project much help welcomed

The current stuff I do have is:

Front mount aluminum intercooler
S5 turbo with exhaust manifold
HKS sequential blow off valve
Walboro 255 inline fuel pump

Read some rules based threads in the INTRO section,gain posts and then you can access the 1st Gen Forum and other sections where many others have done this swap before.
There is no Real LIST to go by as it can vary with what you want in the car and how you intend to control the Engine.That means are you going to buy an Aftermarket ECU or run it as stock.
That alone is a big factor and can honestly put a dent in your budget!

No problem Adam.
I am sorry if the reply sounds like.."read the EFFIN manual"..lol!.But Like IKEA furniture there is always a left over screw you say "WTF is that for??" and it turns out to hold the WHOLE thing together!!

It's just that there are so many ways to "skin a cat",and it would be better for you if you just look for yourself and make the choices that you,personally want..not the choices of others who just want you to do it because they "THINK" that is what they would want IF they had YOUR money to do it!

Oh yes definitely. I agree with that there are many ways to do one task. I will look on the board and see what other people have done and get a foundation where to start from and create my own build off from there.
