Twisted Minis Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 how much would that cost if i were to drive to you and have you make one for me? About $150 if you have a decent thermostat housing. Quote Link to comment

521 Dropsun Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 So Ive made a slight change of plans. Not big, more of a tweeking of plans. Bigger is better. Purched a wreaked 86 RX7 with the 13B Rotory It really is too bad that I only needed the motor. This car is clean as hell. Would have been easy to fix. Only needed a radiatory hood and core support. Everything else on the car is straight. Drove it around for a couple minutes. Fast as fuck! But we all have to make sacrifices I guess Quote Link to comment
521 Dropsun Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 So heres the juicy part. 13b with EFI. The EFI is going for damn sure. Too much wireing. Makes my head hurt just looking at it. The beauty of sawzall magic And everybody knows what an engine puller is for. To help you find wires that you forgot to disconnect! Mines a little bigger than most though. More to come! Quote Link to comment

521 Dropsun Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 If you can get it to the show in one piece then its not ghetto. Like the color choice of yours. Quote Link to comment
patra_is_here Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 So heres the juicy part. 13b with EFI. The EFI is going for damn sure. Too much wiring. Makes my head hurt just looking at it. the engine wiring isn't bad on those! there's a lot of extraneous stuff in the bay. but I would recommend using the complete engine hardness and ECU. Those motors have oil injectors, leading and trailing spark plugs and generally run on the edge of sanity. I don't know how you're going to command all that if you ditch EFI. Quote Link to comment
