Unless you are going full build w/ 93+ motor (single turbo swap + the works). You could save yourself a lot of headache buy just putting another turboII motor in. If you have the money though, I would go with a fresh motor. You never really know about pull-out rotories.

The rebuild would be a better/more reliable option depending on how good the rebuild is. You have to make sure your housings are in good shape though.

too bad you aren't here, I just remembered I have a turboII engine sitting in my garage. If you have the time, rebuilding a rotary yourself isn't to hard as long as you take your time and pay attention to what you are doing.

Let me know if you need any other parts as far as under the hood and I'll see what I got.

13BREW is a royal pain in the ass to put in a FC from what I've repeatedly read on www.rx7club.com
your money is probably better spent on another TII motor
I'f you plan on doing the LS-1 swap make sure you have around $5K to spend.

Couldn't agree more. I have been a member over there for over 5 years and all I ever hear of how quick it is to get over your head. It seems like a simple conversion, but when you consider all the changes not just the motor went through but the car itself, it's actually quite a daunting task. I would personally go with another TII motor as well. You won't see the same power output, but you could save a lot of time and money. Unless of course money is nothing to worry about

yea go back with the tII motor...the money you will save not going with a 13brew you could build the one youve got...and if you could rebuild the one youve got you would get more time out of it in the long run
