RX7 swaps?
My friend just bought bought a 93 RX7 shell. He heard that the 13b's have a common problem of dieng within a short period of time. He is thinking about a doing a 20b swap/port and polish plus the boost. Now, what do you all think about that? is there a better swap? any idea where to get the swap and is there a GOOD shop around here that does swaps?
Also, if you have any recommendations, thoughts and things that i have to pay attention for, it would be greatly appreaciated.

he is dead serious. Currently, he is done with his single turbo-charged vette. He already bought the rx7 shell. I dont think that he has the money now, but soon will. I will let him know of what you have and see what's going on.

If you have a shop do a 20b swap it will be about 30 grand, pettit racing does them. If you did all the labor yourself, it would still cost about 12-15k if you try to do it right. Go on rx7club and go in the 20b forum, plenty of people that have done, or are currently doing a 20b swap there.
