I think its 86-92 for the 2nd gen?..
I’ve been seeing these 3rd gen TT swaps going for MAD cheap and wondered if you can slide them right into a 2nd gen without any problems? I think I’ve owned about 2 1st gens and 2 second gens in the past and am starting to miss the fun I had in them. If this swap is easier, then I’ll start pumping them out!
what the hell is a 13b
3000gt or somethen?
crazy motor with no pistons and apex seal problems they came in 13b and 20b
ls1/lt1 fool, cant beet that shit with a bat
check your pms
With enought time and money you can get the 13BREW? (TT) into a 2nd gen Rx7. I don’t know why you would want to when you can build a mean 13B-T for that much money. I don’t know all the specifics, all I remember is that it was basically a shit load of work that isn’t really worth it. www.rx7club.com might have something in an archive about it, it’s been asked tons of times so the search function should work on it. I have an 88 GXL that first I’m gonna get running with the 13B. Then I plan on turbocharging it. I know people say turboing the NA motor is a bad idea but what do they know.
For those wondering, the 13B is a Wankel Rotary engine found in the Mazda Rx-7 some 1st gens and 3rd gens used variants of this motor. Apex seals are a wear item and rotary motors, when taken care of properly (like ANY car should be) they last at least 100k miles from what I have read, probably more if they aren’t modified or beat on. There have been many forms of rotarys I know of the 12A, 13B, and 20B, there are more.
BTW there is nothing wrong with doing a 350 swap, if you want cheap, easy, (reliable?), power do that instead. From what I can see, V8’s are more forgiving than a rotary if you f#$% up the tuning, either that or people know how to tune V8’s and just look at the rotary and say “WTF is that, put a V8 in there.” Also, the newer lighter V8’s tend not to cause as much as a balance issue as some of the heavier ones. Even then its not a huge shift, most swaps are still close enough to 50/50 that it wont affect handling that much.

fuck the rotary, im sure you have some lonely,built small block laying around.
wow, thats a quality grannys kit! I have plenty of v8 laying around, but I was more interested to see if that TT motor was worth it.
Not if you already have a V8. >> <<
