so i recently picked up a 91 fc3s with a blown n/a motor and i want to swap it for a 13bt but dont have the time availible to out in the hours to get it done

so my question to the forum is..

does anyone know of a garage in the tacoma area that works on rotaries and will be able to do the swap if i provide the parts?

also i need help locating an s5 13bt ive been searching the internet and all things point back to japan2la but i cant figure out how to get ahold of them

 

I am sold out on S5 swaps until FEB 3rd.

If you can wait, check back like FEB 7th to see what is available..

 

Not familiar with your area, but you might check with Pineapple Racing in Portland. I have no connection with them, but they are a pretty well known shop. Looks like they're about 150 miles away from you. http://www.pineappleracing.com/

 

ive been told its alot of work to drop a cosmo into my s5

 

ill check back in around the 7th for that motor

 

i read about that swap on here i mean i would like to do it but i wanna stick to the basics so i can get a feel for the way the car is supposed to be lie before i start any huge mods

 

any turbo engine swap is going to mean extra costs and some complications, so "basic", is at best, relative. that said, you're going about it the right way. use an engine setup that was available in the Gen II, it will simplify installation as much as can be expected, and still set you up with good potential. a Series 5 block gives you many of the physical advantages any of the younger series' engines have. stick with your original choice of the S5 13BT.

 

^Please don't post about things you obviously know nothing about.

For the OP, if you are considering a conversion or swap here is a link from the 2nd Gen. Stickys that might be helpful......
