It is a T-67, more specifically a P Trim 67mm. Its NOT a GT37r-AMS simply gave it that name as a marketing ploy-so people can think to people can think they are actually getting something special when they are overcharged for an off the shelf 67mm.


I am surprised they have not been sued for false advertising yet.

Assembled bottom end is in-with tranny and beat clutch assembly
It "looks" like its all going to work well. Building the oil pan and pickup was fun!

I have been waiting for my head for over 3 weeks now-I am getting it surfaced and O-ringed for free, so I cant much compain about getting it back.

i hear that. homie hook ups suck sometimes cause they make you wait you got all your wiring figured out? i have pages and pages of diagrams if you need them. its actually only 5 wires that need to see power to run. send me some pics of your new oil pan. mine is leaking so i might need someone to build me a new one and i might as well go bigger capacity (hint hint)

Whats you email address?

Unfortunatly-I ran out of material-so my mock up pan, became my in use unit! I dont think it will leak-it sealed well for my water test.

I wired my 2 old Colts-so I am not worried about this pile-but I wiried my old cars with a volt meter and a dream-so I would not mind looking at a diagram.

Its not that easy.. The regular 4g63 block that came in talons is a narrow block(the bottom bolt holes for the bell housing is narrower then what you need..) You need a 4g63 or 4g64 Wide block. These motor cam with a SOHC but the DOHC head bolts right on. I wish you luck on finding a wide block as they are few and far between. But they are out there, you need a 6 bolt wide block as a 7 bolt will not work(flywheel issue) and I also wish you luck finding a bell housing as its only a 86-87(or could be 87-88) B2600 bell that would work if the truck was a 5spd with the mitsu 2.6 motor. The 2.4l wide blocks came in 89-94 mighty max or D50 pickups I believe... JP or Coltboostin will beable to help you more then me.. I just know the basics..

Anybody have more progress about this swap? I'm interested in dropping a 4g63/4g64 into my first gen, curious how things are going for other people.

Its impossible.

Dont try it.

Rotaries make more power-and are more reliable to boot!

Was hoping for maybe a few more pictures... as for the whole rotary vs. piston thing, the fact is that piston motors have had way more R&D put into them compared to the rotary. My interest in the 4g63 is the beautiful head design and efficiency. Rotaries are fun, but very thermally inefficient. It would be nice to consistently get over 25mpg.

I lied.

Old pics-I will try to update today. I am broke-but as always I find a way to make it happen.

i assumed this car was gonna go out at night and be a freeway terrorizer, how do you plan on doing that with one headlight? going to use the FTPS or something? Im digging the intake though, especially if it still flips up and down hahaha.

FTP sized driveing lights mounted in the FTP location.

As with this swap-seeing as the RX-7's intkae in literally right there, I have no idea why someone has not tryed this yet. People jump in line to buy $150 headlight covers that do diddly squat, while that can have real, funcional ram air for the price of a bit of creativity!

haha yeah the covers are a joke, but i think most people (myself included) are scared to lose the stock headlights. my friend wanted to do the same thing with some HID's in the FTP's, but i wasnt so sure. ill have to see how yours and his turn out looks wise. Are you going to run a filter at all though? are you worried about crap flying into your turbo?

The boxer motor would probably not fit and it would be more expensive... plus the exhaust manifold has horrible flow in comparison to the Mitsu. Just... don't.
