Yes you re drill the new hole 3cm down from the stock one in the T2 shift rod. After re drilling the hole 3cm down you wil have to cut off the "extra" length (if I remember right it's 1.5 inches but I'm sure my old thread tells you what to cut off). Yes you use the FB shifter since you are using the FB shifter housing.

Thanks setzup.I'll remember that when I get to that part.I need my 83 to be done before I get another FB to start on.Then I get to do a FB to S4 wiring conversion. :rant: The fun part.

That engine doesn't look like it's run in a while.



Make sure you spray GOBS and GOBS of WD-40 on everything

to make sure it restores that metal.



Also, pour 2-stroke or MMO down the rotors and turn them over

several times.



Good luck, and keep us posted - with smaller pics! :bigthumg

I have plans on soaking it after I get a car to tear down and stuff this thing in to.Let me know when you have your RE running.I wanna know how it goes.I should have another FB by may or june to tear down and get started.I think that engine has been sitting for about 8months my friends said.

Yeah, you'd wanna check out the turbo on it as well, ifs its been sitting for a while. I read an article of a guy who bought a turbo from a wreckers, and after he fitted it, it blew oxidised rusty **** all through his engine resulting in a whole engine rebuild. :squint:

I'm not really worried about that.It's been covered and kept clean since it was pulled from the car.After some soaking and cleaning it should be good to go.

It just showed up at my door today.Damn guy left me every little plug on the engine hooked up.Thats nice to see so I know where it all goes.Does anyone have the S4 ECU in thier cars on here?ON the ECU to dash plug where does theses wires go?I'm guessing half of them are useless on the FB.79Rx7:If your reading this could you send me that diagram of your S1-S4 conversion?Thanks



Look at the plug as it were pluged in the ECU.
