Looking at an RX-7

[IridePSI]

One good thing about a rotory motor is theres initially about 30 some percent less mechanical moving parts which makes them a little less complex. You dig? ( If Im wrong let me know. )

Pappy you disappoint me its 80% less

Edit: The only question not answered. Caleb won’t work on the internals of a rotary like building the motor, cuz lack of experience with them. But most people that pop a motor just go out and buy a new one, cuz you can pick up a new 13b for $2300. As for someone who will touch the internals, Marty at Lunde is the only one in town that I know of that will, also he is the only one in the state that is certified too also. As for just working on the car anyone can that knows how to work on a car can do it, its just like a piston motor, just set up different, still the same principal compression combustion ect.

you'll want a turbo I 13B, not a turbo II, unless you want to shell out the cash for new axles and various other miscellaneous drivetrain parts

there is no Turbo I model, and if he's gonna do the Tii swap he can run the n/a drivetrain but it doen't like to be abused with anything above 200whp so its a good idea to get the Tii drivetrain as well.
Once you start working on the car you'll realize that rotary are quite easy to deal with.

I was always under the impression that the 89-91 were the Turbo II's, and the 87-88 Turbo ones had different.. well, alot of things.

Pros: tiny and light engine, can make good hp.

Cons: engine sounds like farting in a paper bag.

Both S4(87-88) and S5(89-91) were TIIs, but there are quite a few differences between them. S4 TIIs came with the 13BT which has 182hp, S5 have 202hp, there are a lot of internal differences but i won't get into that . Bodies are different between the two
S4 TII 10th AE

S5 TII
