boo on the SR20. Swap is harder than you think. Plus it's bad luck to dump the rotary.........The rotary gods will not be happy

you know my vote

13bt drivetrain swaps can be done in a weekend if you have jack stands, a couple sockets and wrenches, along with a breaker bar

if you are not a master fabricator then u surely will be paying someone out the ass to do a sr swap.. so if u got money like that then u might as well drop in a 20b i dont think anyone will have mixed emotions for that swap.

20B motors cost alot. I can hold my own on fabricating. this isnt the first custom job i've done... I work mainly with hyundai's, but i'm sure i can manage. Everyone I tell suggests i go with the 13BT.

Have you thought about an RE swap? Banzai racing makes bolt in motor mounts for the RE/FC's. You can keep the twin turbos, although they will have to run together as a haltech or equal cannot control them. That will get you up to aruond 260rwhp with some extra boost, a big fmic and a computer ofcourse.

i did think about the cosmo. but i decided against that due to the money involved. I think i may do some more looking for an S5 13BT. i dont want to deal with the S4 13BT swap ordeal.

if you going to do a 13bt swap, do it right or dont do it at all! start by reading RX-7 Owners Club - powered by vBulletin and FC3S Pro v2.0 - 2nd Generation RX-7 Turbo Specialists!

yeah, it's best just to stay within your own series, s5 +s5 etc. It's not even a bother to do the swap, it's actually lots of fun from all the ones I've done. Ya start off with a slow non-turbo, and end up with a flat 14second car right off the bat, it's enough to beat the ol' $28k rx8's which is always fun to do
