pm dysfunctional85.



i think he has done the swap, im not sure all that is needed, fabricated drive shaft, fd engine harness, an aftermarket ecu i guess, i really dont know what all is needed.



all in all, dropping a 13b-rew into an fb would be amazing, you would have a car that pulls on anything short of a supercar.

I see that you did all the work by your self. Me personaly I do no tknow a lot about rotaries, that was my first rx-7. I didnt have insurance on it so i cant afford to fix it. I have the whole car. ecu, tranny, engine mounts, everythign. If you know somebody that is willing to do the conversion please let em kno, and approximatly how much it will cost, cause i got soem money saved up to buy a fb and to do the swap.

where are you located, this would be a good place to start searching for a good rotary mechanic, that being said, keep in mind that rotary mechanics are pretty hard to find and you may have quite a distance to go to have propper work done on your car. im sure there are other people on this forum around your area that could teach you or do your work
