I'm back but just for a few days. GIMME A HOLLA YO'S!!!

 

darth- the blue vert is tight to death!! i think it may be louder than mine...lol anyway it was good to see you, and i hope you can finish that job soon enough to see javier when he gets back...

rotarywall- glad you could make it out today!!! we need to get the black fb on the road, so you can enjoy it for awhile...

to all others- if you want to have this months meet then let me know... the third saturday of the month is next weekend.. so make a game plan now, and we could possibly have a desent meet...

 

Hey guys does any one know for a fact that a 1993 turbo exhaust manifold will fit a 1987 turbo engine?

 

don't think so... could be wrong, but ask mazdaspeed7... he might know..(:

 

It will bolt to the engine, and the clearance with everything should be fine as well. The fc and FD are very similar in the engine bay sheet metal, as are the engines themselves.

But if you are looking at a large turbo, or a manifold with tight clearances around the turbo, I might keep looking. The engines and body are close between fc and fd in that area, but not identical. Theres always a chance you could run into an issue.

 

So I found out the TII tranny for the Vert is an 88' Gonna look for seals for it to see if that fixes the prob alond with the pilot and throw out.
Either way, IT IS DAMN HOT here in Mississippi! The 1st gen is hatin it!
but this **** will be over before we know it! I starty night shift today, oh yea, gonna suck, but at least outta the sun, and into mosquito heaven! lesser of the two evils I hope!

 

Thanks for the info ,the reason I asked because Im buying an turbo manifold for the rotary B2000, I needed to be sure it fitted the exhaust.

 

You will probably need a custom manifold for the B2000. The frame rail is close to the engine, and the engine sits very low in the engine bay. I doubt it any RX7 turbo/manifold combination will clear the frame.

I can get some measurements if you want, and if you need a custom manifold made, I could do it for you.

 

Thanks ,I will have it in mind.

 

the two of you have the same project going...lol

btw nobody spoke up about this months meet.. so, i have made plans to go out of town with the family for the weekend. maybe next time. ):

 

Hey guys I'm in Kuwait getting ready to come home. Should be there around the 22 of July.

 

SWEET! cant wait to get ya back here man!

 

Yeah man cant wait. Darth you almos ready for your car or still not there yet.

 

Still not there and the swap had to be put on hold, taking a vacation around the world, kinda pricey- England, Singapore, Austrailia, Hawaii, L.A. and home

 

No problem I have lots of work to do when I get home so it's even better.

 

cool deal, plus time with family!

 

Send us pics. And let us know if you get to see any rotaries down under. Have a good trip Ian. How long are you going to be away? Do you need me to go and drive the 1st gen around?
