RX3 question??

I was wondering how much people have paid to install a fuel injection motor in their old schools?? Either turbo or non-turbo. I think I wanna go this route for my tres....if it's not crazy expensive..

i would say 85% of people here do the install themselves..
paying someone to do it will be expensive either way..
for a excellent well built 13bt install would be at least 10k

If you have the engine all sorted and everything else, dropping it in is fairly easy. What really cost is the engine setup.

I personally would just swap a nice built 13b with some webers

depending on what type of fuel management you use.i can easily wire up any second gen rx7 e.c.u to any old school car.i have done it to a couple first gens,rx-2's and,a couple of rotary trucks,thats all i deal with is fuel injection as i have never tried a carb and probably never will.pm me if you need some help im also in the los angeles area.
