13B Powered S13
 

ok does anyone have any pics and info on how to do this? dont tell me to buy an RX-7, cuz i would have if i had the 20g's it costs for an FD up here in Canada.

You might need a custom oil pan, but everything else should be easy.
I have been actually thinking about that swap.
Custom mounts, T2 tranny, custom driveshaft, lots of room for turbo, a Vmount intercooler. It can be one sick machine.

You may not be interested in this, but www.hinsonsupercars.com is now selling kits to put an Ls1 240's. Not very expensive either

Well that is totaly gonna make me reconsider an SR20 swap into the 240 I am getting.

if you have any info let me know. i thought about this like 6mo ago but no money. i asked it on nopistons but nobody had any input. the ka is so heavy compared to the 13b is given. but what about a 20b would the weight be roughly similar?

/\/\ do you have more pics of this?????????? if so please psot them, i need as much pics and info, and if you know the person who owns that car, could you give them my e-mail or something?

That has to piss off 240 guys, Theres one good reason to do it right there

That looks like some fun... I wonder what their faces look like when they see a rotary and not an SR20...???

The same look we get when we don't see a Rotary in our RX7's!

I personally like RB25s in 240s, but a rotary would be a nice change :)

sounds like it would be fun. im trying to find a bad manual transmission from an 1g AWD talon or similiar. to see if i can make something...work.

Another one, huh?

well fuck, i dont have the money for an FD (my fave car in the whole world) and insureance is more of a bitch on an FC, so i got a 240.... and its still RWD :) so now i'm just gonna put my fave engine in it! a rotoary.... and it just makes sense to put a rotary in it to, lol

do it. it will be awesome, but if you ever decied to put a piston enginein it then you should do a 1j

we are in the process of doing this in my buddys sr5. The biggest problem is the crossmember coming intact with the oil pan. All the electrical can be done using a standalone or megasquirt. We are going with a megasquirt because of cost. Also we are using a na s4 engine because we can get our hands on one for cheap.

The DSM tranny is transverse. Unless I am misunderstanding you, I don't see how it would work.

:rofl:

eh heh.. why a 1jz when a 2jz is the same size and will produce more power????

Piss off 240 guys? Why would it do that?
A 13B in a S13 sounds like a brilliant idea. The SR is a budget POS of a motor with a lousy head and stupid rockers instead of a true DOHC. The CA18 has a good head, but needs a lot of internal work to make decent power. KA24 is heavy as hell and utter wood until turboed, when it becomes even heavier.
From that pic of the white S13 the 13B looks beautiful in the engine compartment. So much smaller and nice and far back, you might even be able to balance the understeering pig that a stock S13 is. I just came across this b/c after looking through some RX-7 engine bays, I decided I wanted a rotary in my car. Too bad not too many people have attempted this yet.. Oh well, if I end up doing something about it, I'll be sure to document it and post pictures.

Drop A Rotary In Everything!

why not cough up the money for an rb26?

i think the 240 community would flame a little bit being that their mentality of a rotary is the same as an exploding engine.. but other than that.. i find that alot of them would appreciate it also.. and i have to agree.. i think it would correct plenty of the understeer in the s13's =P

/\/\/\ thats one big reason why i want to do this swap... and cuz i love rotaries to death... but i dont see why people would flame... oh wait i know why 240 onwers would flame... cuz even if they had a RB26... they wouldnt want to admit they got schooled by someone with a 1.3 litre engine... lol.... anyways... anyone have any ideas on this subject.... i personally want to drop a 20b in it :)

But you're tearing the "Soul" out of the 240 !!!! :rlaugh: Hypocrates !!!!

if ur gona go rotary in another car.. i sudgest you buy an ae86 and put it in that.. it will be way more fun... and since rotary doesnt have so much damn tourqe the chassis could handle it,,,
