Easy fix , modify a turbo header , they are pretty cheap . As for the trans , shorten an fb shifter housing and you gain 5" forward . There is plenty of room in a repu engine bay to do almost anything with minimal mods. Try fitting all of that in an rx2 and it starts getting tight. Injection perfection TB wont fit on that manifold its a IDF size where as the injection perfection is IDA size . The manifold is also for a 12a . At the end of the day there is a big expensive explosion of parts thrown at the truck . Stock t2 or RE intakes are cheap and make great HP with great street manners , big throaty TB will work and are great for drag racing but normally have bad response off of the bottom . T2 ,RE and REW manifolds were engineered by Mazda for turbo applications and will work poorly if not at all on an N/A motor .

I guess you could do all that but depends how far he wants to go with it bro.
you can buy the intake manifold to suit 13b turbo for the injection perfection off that site to. id just stay N/A for now until he fixes the rust and gets it sprayed then sort the motor out.
The FI you like is a bit pricey here in the states , all builds take work and $ . Building it twice takes more $ . For this first build I would N/A it as you said and if he wants turbo pick up a motor that suits a turbo . I have been in this rotary thing for over 20 years and done more mods than I care to talk about and what Mazda designs (turbo , apex seals ,etc. ) always seems to work the best for street use . This thread seems like a parts swap from what I have seen and I hope this repu gets on the road for some good burn outs soon.
yea it is a bit pricey plus shipping on top would be a killer. your right im building my first rx7 at the moment, the money and time you spend on the car starts to add up pretty quickly. iv heard the same thing also mazda didn't spend all that money in R&D for nothing. I hope it makes it on the road to.

Those videos are good if installing the fc turbo trans in a fb which only needs a little over an inch cut in length.any oldschool would need about 5" cut off so it sits in the cars floor opening.would require a fb shifter housing cut about 4" and the turbo II shifter rod cut about 5".
I got 3 turbo transmissions need to do this to soon.1 for a rx3,1 for a rx2, and the other for a fb..
Ok guys I need HELP!!!!! 1st of all the engine is bone stock, the only mods are (84) ignition, racing beat header. So I installed a IDF weber system, I installed it and worked on it all day I finally got it to run for about 3minuts then I took the gas pedal off and it shut off. I tried to restart it and it wouldn't. can someone look at the pics and see what I have done working? thank you all in advance.
Make up what ever convinces you differently but its not made for N/A. Throw jets at it and it still won't be right . I have showed you examples of N/A and turbo manifolds , but I guess you have better info. In a F.I. set up you can't use a RE or REW intake and runner system on an N/A motor , thats why mazda made an N/A intake and runner system . THe same principals apply here . Lastly , its a cartech turbo manifold . This manifold was engineered by Corky Bell (owner of cartech) for his turbo setup . Nothing about the manifold is universal .

It is good , read your own thread and you will get the answer ( i posted it a few pages ago ) . It seems all you do is post a question and don't read the answers . Along with that you try to up your post count with stupid comments . Right now is the time maybe you should read and then humble yourself . Its your first build and some seasoned members are trying to help you and you aren't listening . You have destroyed some historic valuable parts and don't care . With your attitude you will find yourself alone in the old school section as fast as you entered .

I totally understand where you are coming from but i'm not trying to up my count I can do that on other posts, as far as Questions, well I though this forum was founded and build on people asking questions and shearing information, Yes i'm a Rookie I know that but so was a lot of other people on here, And yes I do read the answers to my questions, when you said I destroyed historic valuable parts what do you exactly mean? I still have all the original parts. with that being said thank you all for the valuable information I have received.
