I have a huge FMIC on the way and this driveline.Mostly due to how cheap I got this stuff for.This spring I'll be buying a dead FB to convert over and have some with.I'll run the engine stock with a FMIC and exhaust while I work on the looks of the car and get everything else ready.Then a huge turbo and external wastegate will make thier way in there this winter. :yum:

Racer X 02-11-2003 10:14 PM

Its only a S4 setup but the price was right and it still has potential.Time to pull a vosko.I would like to thank VISA for making this possible. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Yup.FB's are my thing.Just think "power to wieght". https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

You might as well just put the S4 T2 in the 83 cause once you feel the turbo your not going to want your n/a anymore https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

I have too much in this car to rip it apart.Plus then I can build it on the side and drive this one with some sort of gas mileage.

setzep 02-11-2003 11:02 PM

hehe, did you just say something about gas mileage in a rotary forum?? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



Did you get a compresson check done on that sucker?



All I could see was a couple pic's of the engine and what looked like a wiring harness (my computer went on overload with the big pic's I think). Did you get a T2 trans also or just the engine?

Haven't got it here yet.The guy just pulled it out of a 88 T2 and it has good compression.Its a complete swap.He pulled the wiring out of the wreck from the dashboard to the front of the engine and sending it with the COMPLETE DRIVELINE.He has the coils and ecu and all harness' are intact.Tranny and everything is in good working order.I just need to make a plate to mount the T2 tranny when I get the car to mount it in.I have a complete set of SE swap parts waiting for the engine to show up.I just need the SE crossmember which I can get here from a wrecker.

Thanks for the input you guys.Drifter:I was going to but this is a killer deal.Might as well jump on it.I just need the car now.Then I need to figure out what to use for a driveshaft.If your looking at this thread ViperRx7 could you tell me what you did for your wiring and driveshaft?I have a good idea on wiring but the driveshaft looks like a custom deal.The 20B is three times the amount and theres non for sale right now.Oh well.This is the S4 setup in case your wondering.

drifter 02-13-2003 12:09 AM

Yeah, I wanted a 20B too, but looks like I'll prolly be going the s4 13BT with a supra 5spd. I'll be watching all your Q's to get ideas for mine. :bigthumg:

I already have a huge FMIC and everything needed minus the 3" exhaust.I still need to do a driveshaft too.Plus a car wouldn't hurt. :smirk: I'll be reading setzep's thread agian on the S4 T2 tranny mount he had to fab.I know how to use the stock shifter location.It'll be fun in a light wieght.

drifter 02-13-2003 12:18 AM

Well, if you end up getting a fair bit of a story together, you could post all the info (incl setzep's stuff) into a big thread and get mike to make it a sticky. That would be mint. :bigthumg:

I might do one tommorow in the FAQ's section.I got the spacer measurements to make the S4 T2 tranny fit the FB chassis with me tho.Heres a little info for you for now.



Tranny spacer

Here is the spacer. It's 3.6"long,1.75"wide, .75"thick and the two holes are drilled 2.75 apart. I made it out of aluminum figuring the crossmember has two rubber "dougnuts" so that should take out some of the vibrations. (didn't want that "hear every shift/driveshaft kind of car")Remember to use 3/4-1" flat washers for support on the tranny bolts.I know how to wire it abit but I need a car first to tackle everything piece by piece.

Racer X 02-13-2003 12:32 AM

Thanks to setzep for a pic of the spacer....

drifter 02-13-2003 12:39 AM

can anyone say BLUR! haha. j/k

Do you have a link to the thread by any chance? I searched but to no avail.

Cheers for the info too. :bigthumg:

Racer X 02-13-2003 12:46 AM

yup, heres the nopistons thread.Turbo FBHe has two links in it to his Rx7club threads that discuss the use of the FB shifter housing to mount the T2 tranny and shift in the stock shifter location.

Racer X 02-13-2003 12:53 AM

Heres a link to Viperx7's car with a setup like I will be using.Similar kit to what I have planned as well.I plan on some 16's and a different spoiler and color tho.Plus my FMIC is alot biggers.But his runs and is already the pimp ****.I plan on a 3" exhaust with a N1 style rear muffler and no cats. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Viper's Turbo FB https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

SO the T2 shift rod has to have a hole drilled 3cm down from the stock one?Do you use the FB or T2 shifter?
