Ok so Im pretty much new here. So what Im trying to do is put a 13b turbo from an FC into my 85 RX7, just like many other people. I know this has been discussed many times before and I was wondering If anyone has made a list of what needs to come from an FC and posted it. IF not is there anyway someone can do it. The reason I ask is not only because I want to do the swap myself but also for the future, when someone has the same questions.



Also I've never attempted to do this, but how do you do a 4lug to 5lug conversion on an FB? Since the 85 has 4lug wheels, I wanted to convert it to 5lug because it is a lot easier to find wheels for that and breaks are a lot better.

For the 4lug to 5lug comversion see Re-Speed.

It pretty much is a bolt in affair. You have to change the oil pan and front cover on the TII motor to the GSL-SE style.

Stand alone ECU and lots of time/patience and money....

i'm starting mine right now. i have a 13bt s4 with transmission and ecu(w/wire harness) from a TII. front plate and oil pan from my gel-se. i'm not for sure yet but i may need fuse box and transmission mount. after purchasing a turbo kit and exhaust to handle it as well as updating the rear end is recommended but not required. should set me back about 2700$. which seems like an alright right chunk of change. i'm kinda curious to know myself i will need anything else for the swap or if i can start spending money on suspension and brake upgrades to handle the double up in HP.
