I just bought her.. for $600.00 Its a 13B Engine. Sadly it doesn't start.. the guy said he tried almost everything, he bought new fuel pump and clutch master cylinder,but i dont think he knows what he was doing too well. He thinks it might be no compression on 1 of the rotors.



I hope its something simple, but if worse come to past; I'm thinking of rebuilding it myself and making it street ported.



I wish i had someone close to my area who could help me with this project. i know i have a long way with the body work and all, but that is the least of



My worries. I just want to get the lady to move.



Also thinking of buying the 4DVD set of rebuild howto. Is that a good buy, or should i get books instead?



Should i leave it fuel injected, or should i rebuild make it bridge port and slap a RB Holley Carb in it?



I'm not sure which way to go, since its all going to cost me about the same..



any input would be highly appreciated

wow...600? thats crazy. from that pic it look ******* beautiful! you should post some more...



the way to go is all in what you want to do.



daily drive. keep it simple with the stock set up. headers, exhaust, better intake...little things. if its your new project car. i would bridge it and still stay EFI, but with a megasquirt.



thats my 2 cents...

Worth every penny if you even have to replace the motor dude.

Well, Here is an Update on the Car.. I'm currently taking the motor out..



The compression was very poor on both rotors.. i could almost barely feel the whoosh. I'm thinking its totally garbage..



Here is how the motor looks in the outside.
