nice pics... that looks great; really helps to clarify some things in my head. i think that is exactly what i want to do.

do i have any other option other than getting a used jdm engine?
say i get a jdm engine, then unfortunately it detonates... is there anywhere to get just a RE housing?

this is where i am still a little lost

great info in here guys!

Re and Rew housings are interchangeable.
U can use rew rotors together with rew front counterweight. AT rear counterweight is common. U can use aftermarket flywheel with AT C/W.
U must use custom engine mount to put RE engine into RX7.

so with the NA i guess you would suggest going with the cosmo right? I am going to stay with 2 rotors def. But i am still a little unclear whether or not i can build the engine or have to buy it used and go single.

Anyone have any insight on the cosmo wirring.. i think i want to go with a haltech or aem to for EM. can i use the same wirring harness out of a fc turbo?

R1, I putting now haltech E11 in my cosmo, I made single turbo upgrade also. The harness are not simular RX/JC, but it is most common parts. U can bought book at yahoo.co.jp with schemes. The other way is to upgrade RE electric components to REW. But the problem is how to drive JC (like FC) CAS and JC (like FC also) OMP.
The third way is a big single turbo and one solenoid

Wolf is good option

The Wolf works with the stock FD engine harness and operates the OMP - great choice for this setup. I add 1 to 2 oz of premix just to be safe. Planning on adding water injection as a cleaner for the dirty OMP oil. Carbon is a killer.
