Information needed on swaping a 90 T II
Engine and tranny into 76 RX-3. I have the Engine, tranny and ECU. What else am I going to need.

 

for starters, a driveshaft to work with the trany, and rear to handle the power.

 

I have a GSL-SE rearend already on the car.

 

You will also need either a 12A turbo front timing cover or a early model 13B timing cover with a turbo oil drain plumbed into it so that you can fit the motor up to the existing engine mounts. You will also need a custom turbo exhaust manifold to relocate the turbo so that it will fit between the front strut and the motor. Plus an early model 13B oil sump and modified oil pickup to suit your new sump.

What kind of intercooler is that rx????

Also, here is a link that should help someone install a 13bt into rx3. Remember we don't have the steering box clearence issues in the usa

How well does that intercooler work with your tII motor? I am starting a 13bt into datsun 510 project and am still looking around for a front mount. I am considering either a misubishi starion, or maybe a spearco if I get some more $$$. Nice Car!!

 

stay away from starion. it actualy will loose power with that IC.

i think slimjim should chime in here.
(he is the master of making things work that were not meant to... ) this is his 808 and the vert on the link i posted. he can get into some more details for you all.

 

Wow thanks for the info RX! Looks like isuzu is the way to go. Do you know anything about the ford powerstroke ic's? I heard these can be bought new for very cheap. Also, how about this idea. Check out this link, this guy welded 2 T2 intercoolers together to make one big one. http://clik.to/bowtieracing

not to **** on the idea...it should work...but WHY when you can get a used isuzu for about the same price as to have someone fabricate endtanks and weld the 2 of them together. and it will still only be about half the size of a large NPR and smaller than a medium one.

if you need an NPR IC shoot me a PM.
