4g63 fd
I picked up a 1993 Red R1 back in June without a motor. I have been slowly been making progress over the last few months and am in the process of getting it ready for a complete color change to Carbon Grey Metallic. I will be running a built 4G63 with a PTE6262 and should easily make 550-600whp on straight pump gas. I will be using an AEM v2 box for an ECU. The traction control and boost by gear should help put the power to the ground. I am keeping the RX7 trans + rear end. I will also have power steering and A/C. I am building it to be a fun street car. Here are some pics of the progress so far:

Valve cover, intake manifold, and other small items are at the powder coater now. I just picked up some missing interior plastics from Fritz yesterday so there are only a few small items left and the interior will be complete. Once the car is painted I will be going they the stock main harness, cleaning it up, and re-looming it the best I can.

Nice!!!. Pics of the shifter hole please? I am very very very interested in the turbo manifold setup. It looks like it sucks the turbo close enough to the block to fit in a Colt. Any dimesions, solidoworks ect. of the mani?

You fucker! I was debating on doing this swap to my shell but decided to stay rotary. Seeing you do it to your car makes me wanna change my mind again. Very nice!

Im using the stock trans, driveshaft, and rear so the shifter is still in the stock location. The manifold is made from 1.5" schedule 10 stainless. I don't have any drawings as I don't draw any of them before hand. I have an idea in my head that I just go with and tweak it till I'm happy with how it looks.

I love this swap. Debated doing it a few times, probably will do it in some rx7 at some point. Keep up the good work.

From my research, it shouldn't be that hard of a swap to accomplish, all things considered.

This is being built over at TurboTrix, correct? I'll have to check it out sometime. I'm doing a 2J car about an hour away near Philly.

Modified my fuel pump sender and installed a Walbro 400 pump today. I welded a -8an fitting to the end of the feed line and ran 10 gauge power and ground directly to the pump.

Got half the car painted today. We will hopefully be finishing the last half tomorrow. Then I can put it back together and start on the wiring.
