Hi guys
So I've came across an RX2 and was wondering how hard and what would I need to drop my 93 13b motor and tranny into it and would it require a lot of custom parts or where can I get most of the parts to do this swap
If anybody could help... Any small detail or info would help
Thanks jc

 

Any info would help guys thanks

 

Go to YouTube and do a search for aaroncake. His build is an 86 cosmo but the engine install would be similar.

 

Ok thanks a lot.. I follow the guy I'll just ask him..

 

what is your ultimate goal with the REW? will it remain turbocharged? which ignition do you plan to use? etc. all of that (and a few other things) will factor into how you mount the engine in the car. if you are flexible on some things, then it should make it easier in terms of mounting.

 

Well I have a single turbo 93 fd now and was thinking of swapping the motor and installing it on the rx2. But I know am going to have to make a number of custom stuff. I spoke to aaconcake and it looks like i mite need to make custom mounts or install the front cover off and gls or any 13b but as for the fuel lines and piping all custom

Thanks for the reply..
That's the info I got so far

well, that's the essence of what i was getting at. you will have a choice to make on mounting, but along with it may come oil pans, ignitions and a handful of other things.

 

Yeah.. Thanks for your help...

 

When I put a 13b in my 1972 rx2. All I reversed (redrilled) the oil pan so the sump would clear. Used the oil pick up off of my 12a (longer). Sledge hammered the fire wall a little bit so the starter would clear as the 12a was a twin dizzy with a top mount starter.
