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.

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.
