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:
Mock up motor installed:
Turbo manifold:
6 bolt DSM flywheel machined for Exedy Triple Disc:
Custom FMIC:
Motor Mounts:
Car primed and ready for paint:

Im running a B2600 bellhousing. I originally was going to put a wideblock 4g63 in it but since they are hard to find and I had three or four narrowblocks lying around I decided to go with the narrowblock and an adapterplate. I also didn't like the way the wideblock sat at an angle when bolted to the bellhousing so I stood it straight up with the adapter plate.

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.

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.

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

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.
