Sorry guys. I had to put it in with the Minis. Click here for the album.

thats cool, we talked about doing that to an 83 wagon once :bigthumg:



mike

looks good!

That thing looks good.

Is that a Rx7 strut brace????How did you wire your coils for it?

I have a coulpa ways to wire the coils. For this car I used the conventional system Mazda used. The original (+) positive wire from the ign. to the coil was wired to the (+) on the leading coil. The trailing coil was then wired in parallel ( with the leading of course). Two sets of wires was then routed from the (+) and (-) sides of each coil to the ignitors, making sure (+) to (+) , (-) to (-) from coil to ignitor. Easy!

I also have an article from MazdaSpeed.

I've also used 2 MSD boxes with a crank angle sensor and (4) coils. If you want to know more about that one let me know.

And yes that was a 1st Gen. Rx-7 strut bar.

4 coils????On the GLC????Now thats Direct Fire. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

with 4 coils you have to use 4 ignitors then don't you????That would make alot of heat

No ignitors are used on this one. Four coils .....1 per spark plug. The crank angle sensor is used from the '86 and up 13B and 2 MSD 6A's.

i may be doing one of these in the near future. i already have a motor in mind and an RX3 crossmember. after that this swap is cake.

can't you use the Rx7 crossmember????Why the rx3 one??

As far as I know the RX-3 one bolts right in. Also you would need a Rx-2 engine bracket. The Rx-7 one is offset whereas the Rx-2's equal.

So Rx3 crossmember with a Rx2 bracket.That does sound easy enough.

Is the Rx2 bracket modifyable enough to make the 13b fit in.I might take this engine out and put a Turbo in the 7 if I can find a good shape GLC around here.There was a few a couple of months back but are long gone now.

It is but you got to use the 12A front cover. The only issue I see is the relocation of the turbo. There is not enough room between the strut tower and the motor for the turbo and the manifold. You might have to do a custom setup and locate the turbo where the battery originally would be.

Sorry about that.I was talking about pulling the NA out of my 7 and putting it in a GLC and doing a turbo swap on this 7 instead.Is the engine mount modifiable to fit this SE 13b in it?It uses the same mount setup as the stock 12a it had when I pulled it.

Oh OK. I thought you were referring to the GLC. The 7's mount will fit for what you are thinking of doing.

Will the RX2 mount be able to be drilled to take this engine from my rx7 and drop it in the glc if i get one?



I might drop this SE engine in a GLC if I don't buy this Series 5 GXL I'm looking at.Then doing a turbo swap on the Rx7 using the SE cover OMP pick-up and pan.



thanks

I know all about first gen 7 swaps I just want to learn about the GLC swap.It sounds as easy as it was putting this engine in my car.Providing theres enough mounting metal to make the Rx2 mount hold the SE engine in it see as my 13b is 10mm longer then a 12a.

The 13B will fit with no problem. It will bolt up in the same position as the 12A. The difference in length will be offset at the tranny mount which, infact, is not much.

OK thanks alot.I know everything I wanted to know on the subject. :bigthumg:

ON the NOS fed 12a where did you run the injector too?I'm getting a NOS kit in then next week or so and I'm thinking of running it thru the ACV block off.Wheres that one run thru?

That's an idea though. On that particular 12A the intake plenum was drilled and tapped on the engine side. Through the AVC block off seems easier...........hmmm, why didn't I think of that. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Do you know if a S4 T2 setup would clear the strut tower of is that a guess?If I can't find another 7 to drop this T2 setup in I'll do a GLC instead.Whats the wieght on the GLC?

The GLC is just shy of 2100, if I can recall right. I have an old title at home I'll check that for you.

Cool. I need to drop this driveline in something and the GLC's wieght is very nice.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Trying to find one here in good shape is like trying to find a rust free first gen 7 tho.I should have bought the GLC I saw last fall, damn!
