What kind of swap options are there for this model?

Engine, suspension, body, interior.... What do you want to swap???

That was terribly vauge, sorry..



Meant to say engine.

Do you want to stay rotary? Turbo? Non turbo? V8?



What do you plan on doing with it?

just drop a bridgeported 12a back into it.Remember to convert to electronic ignition.Then your set. :bigok:

Pretty much any option.

How 'bout a Porsche flat six?

So, I imagine the 12a would be the most sensible option?



I'd imagine he'd want to keep it rotary..



How about a 13b?



(this is a question for someone else..but I do plan on purchasing a 3rd gen RX-7)

12a wouldn't be a swap at all, that's what it has now.



13b Turbo is fairly popular and will give you more power than you'd ever need.



I can post a couple links for you if you want.

Go for it, can never have too much information.



Hell, I might even buy a 1g just to get accustomed to rotary.



btw, isnt the whole point behind a swap to get more power? How much would a 13b yeild?

12a are cheaper to rebuild and to me are alot more reiable than a 13b...and in my area alot more common..depends what you want to do with it..and just cause its a 12a ...you can still have a swap for another 12a (12at)

IF you want info on any Rx related click on the link to my page.I have a link to a page that shows the cost and wiring needed to go from 12a to 13bt.I swaped my 12a for a 13b you'll need the engine and front crossmember.Try for a 84, 85 13b 6-port they bolt up to 84,85 GSL-SE crossmember.Then from there you have to decide on EFI swap or Carb the 13b.Mine was easy after I droped in the crossmember and engine out of this wreck 84 GSL-SE I found at a wrecker.Carbing it is just so easy no wiring to worry about.If I sell this one anytime I know a guy who has a '89 Rx7 I might consider seeing as the engine is blown on it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png That is IF I ever sold this one.13b NA swaps are easy. :bigthumg:

Hey all, in my neck of the woods, the 12a turbo is a popular swap[fairly cheap and the 'powers that be' will only approve 12a turbo's in gen ones. Mine sports a bridgeported 13b which is fun enough. There's a couple floating around here with a 20b in the bay!! That should add enough HP to make it fun. I'd agree with Racerx, the 13b na swap is fast and easy over here as well. I know you guys seem to have harsher emission rules so just check on that, it may become a factor.

IF you want power you can always go all out and swap a 13b-re or 13b-rew those pack a punch on a light first gen. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
