My 13b powered van
A bit of a small accident while getting it into second, it sheared the studs right off and i didnt actually know that it had happened because it kept level.

It was a good laugh my only real concern was getting it back home because where it happened was about 10mins out of town.
The readon why i went for this was because its a very easy conversion and the van is quite light.
the gearbox bolts up 2 a series one (1st gen) bellhousing so you dont have to modify the g/box crossmember and then wield in a engin crossmember, so in theory only the x/member,motor and wiring up an xtra coil is all you have to do for a conversion.
i have another short clip of it going up the road that i will post up.
Also is there a section for user's rides? where you post up pics of your ride?
Also check out www.rotahavik.co.nz its a newzealand site and there are heaps of mean rotaries and all sorts of different conversions in the section called users rides

just a short one of me going up the road
.
Bought it with a blown 13 bridgeport, so i pulled motor out and got one from a rx7 gsl, its a tall port motor and with an ida it seams to hum along quite nicely, even has a slow deep pulse
anyways heres some pics
this is the old motor. 13b bridge port
heres the 13b tall port cleaned up to go back in.
but not before getting new 4 puck clutch, pressure plate, flywheel machined, new plugs and leads.
got new alternator pulley yesterday, looks all good, cant afford gilmers
48 ida on high rise manifold with medium size k&n
mite be to tall for the van, will have to see
This was when i was pulled up by the police, he was quite shcked to find it was running a dirty old diesel anymore so he put a green stcker on (a notice ordering unsafe vehicles of the road)

I would say around the 170hp mark, its not fuel injected just running a 48 mm weber carbeurator
so far around $6500NZ which works out at $4120US and need to spend another $3000NZ ($1900US) as i need new tyres a rev counter and all the other guages (it only has water temp, it dosnt even have a rev counter) also it need some panel work. but all in all im happy with it as its the fastest refridgerator i have ever driven

The nitrided R5 engines came out in the very early '80s and ran until probably '83, had points or electronic ignition, high volume 17.5mm oil pumps, no oil pressure sender under the filter, water temp sender on lower corner of front plate, all were automatic but posses the 1757 rotating assembly as all '74-'78 US spec and GSL-SE allowing for the use of stock flywheels from those years, the R5 castings are stonger (heavier) than 1st gen RX-7 Y castings and can most likely handle more boost if you chose to boost it, can be streetported as large as the Y plates and the exhaust ports can really be opened up.
