I'm an old piston jammer, but I'm new to rotary engines. I just started a new project - slipping a 13B turbo RX-7 into a '70 Karman Ghia. I hope to pick up a lot of great info here to help me build a real satisfying car with a lot higher performance than it had before. My weakest area is my lack of knowledge about the electronic engine control system. I'm sure you guys can help me out a lot. Thanks, daverhea |
Welcome to nopistons!
Will you be using the stock Mazda ECU? Sounds like a neat project. I've always liked the Ghias. Used to have an old air-cooled Beetle once upon a time. |
Welcome to nopistons! Once you figure it out, you'll realize it's pretty darn simple. You could even swap a distributor on it if you wanted (from an earlier model).
Be sure to post any questions you have in the proper technical section, you'll get plenty of good answers. |
Thanks for the welcome. I bought a JDM 13B turbo motor and it does not have ECU with it - so I've got to buy one along with a wiring harness. I will have to do some research on which ECU to get. The trucking company called and told me that the motor will be delivered Monday. Once I get the numbers off I can inquire about what model ECU I need. You raise an interesting question; I have seen the "hopped up" chips but I wouldn't have a reasonable idea of what I need. I plan to drive the Ghia on the street. However, I still like to burn the treads at the strip every now and then.
Thanks, daverhea

My project ghia is back under way. Attached is a picture (if I did it right).
