I just bought a 1981 rx-7 and wanted to know a couple of things.

1) The apex seals need to be replaced and wanted to know if it was worth replacing it.

2) Where can i find a 12a engine or will a 13b engine be better.

3) How and where can i find turbo for the car.

if you can get a 13b it will fit parts are much easier to find.

YES, that is a vital component to your engine. I would assume that if your car is not running?

If you are going to go turbo 13b would be better. Parts are much easier to find. Enjoy your car NA for a while though. It is pretty quick without a turbo as well.



3) How and where can i find turbo for the car.

Look at response above.
