Rebuild it! It will be a great learning experience. You'd do better to know what's in your motor as well. Plus you can see the build. That way if you do get a 13b some day, you'll be able to do your own build. There is amot of self pride in that.
hey everyone thanks for the help but i found a 13b good engine and tranny from a guy that wrecked his 2nd gen hes letting everything go that i need to get my first gen running for 250 dollars but heres the problem im having trouble finding a thread that covers the 12a to 13b swapp can anyone point me in the right dirrection or just tell me what to take out the ride other than the engine tranny all component tht hook up on the engine tranny

Hey, I am not worry about it, but you all should be.
I always keep the best secrets to myself. I will be home soon and then we'll see who's the midget.
ahhh and don't cry when you see the single digit engine pasing you by...
Still love you all....bunch of ****...
Edd take it easy with the porting bit and the size, remember is not the size what matters, but the shape. That only applies to rotaries, I hope you know what I mean.
Couple of weeks and I will be there.
See you all soon.

Hey everybody in savannah Just got my FD a few months ago and am still kinda new to the rotary engine unfortunately my car recently left me stranded on the side of the road coming back from hinesville, got it towed back let it sit for a few days and eventually got it to start up however Im pretty sure I have a blown coolant seal seeing that there is white sweet smelling smoke coming from my exhaust and overheating it has lead me to believe that its time for a rebuild. I searched around some and will be doing a coolant pressure check and the good ole champaign test to see if it confirms my thoughts. I see a lot of you guys are into rebuilding your own motors would anybody wanna make some extra cash to help out a rookie rotorhead?

Always hear Javier going through Atkins on his rebuilds. I just ordered my kit through them. Dont have any experience with the other rebuild kits the other companies use.
What's up
an FD owner here... I'm moving to the Savannah area soon. I'm in between of a 2jz swap so the car won't be ready until about february. If anyone is looking for some FD and after market parts let me know. I might have it
