ok guys im new to the rx7 club if always loved the rotary RX7 and got my first FC about a month ago my question is this i when to a shop in new york were i live and they are asking me for 5k just to install the 13b turbo engine do you guys think its to much??? and all so was wondering from anyone who has done the mod do you think its easy to install cause i have a 1989 FC nonturbo and i just want to make it turbo what would you recommend, if its easy to install please let me know cause my dad has a shop and i was wondering if i could just buy the engine with everything and install it ourselves, any advice or help will be great thanx for reading....

 

well for 5k you could just go out and buy a t2

 

If your dad is knowledgeable in removing and installing engines and has a bit of knowledge on electrical systems you guys should be able to do it.

For 5k, what kind of condition is the engine in? Are they including the TII transmission? Remember regardless, when you buy a used engine make sure it is in good condition, if it is a JDM engine, a rebuild is a must and you may be able to use the money you save doing it yourself to do the rebuild and then buy shiny parts, maybe a TII diff....

 

Thanx guys I was talking to my dad and he said he could swamp the engine for me so that's what I'm going to go for and I guess it would be cool cause we will be spending some father and son time at his shop...
