1970 Mazda 1500 Estate - 13B PP EFI

I started doing stuff this old girl a while back. Went from crappy 1500cc piston motor to 13B 48mm PP with EFI hardware 50mm throttle bodies,Microtech LT10s ECU,Custom Alloy radiator and oil cooler with braided lines,Rx5 diff,S4/TII tranny with Ogura racing super single clutch,custom 3'' tailshaft. Will be installing early model Miata seats (hopefully front and back) full retrim and paint job. it's getting a startup tune in the very near future.


One day it will look as nice as my good Estate

Perhaps even a bit like this

There's no shadow of the fender lip on the wheels so i would say the picture has been edited.

EFI pump,surge tank etc $350ish (AUD) manifold came with the motor (usaul price $175-$250 depending on material) Throttle bodies and rails,TPS,accelerator cable bracket,trumpets etc around $1500.Micritech ECU $1100. All parts for this were brand new.

Unfortunately that is going to be a little while now, found out yesterday I have sticky seals in the rear rotor Oh well it's getting fixed for free so i guess it's all cool. The wait is worth it for one of the world's only rotarised 1500 Estates

Well...the startup tune didn't go so well. The rear rotor has no compression,suspected sticky seals. The motor is getting a rebuild again in the next few weeks and hopefully next time she'll fire up. I'm hanging to hear this beast,the headers are custom 5mm thick steampipe items. Should make for a very deep sounding bark.
