In the words of Cordes, it's sacrelige to put anything but a rotary in an FC.

A TII for 1500 is an excellent price, especially if it's S5. You're probably best off just swapping in another 13BT. But if you have cash, and wanna get tricky, go for a 13BREW =P

you can buy a 13brew rebuilt offline for $3,000. If i ever blow the engine on my car i may do that, but for now i actually prefer my car to be N/A, because i have a predictable powerband, i've driven a tII before and they seem to not want to know where they want to start boosting, just my experience. but with a n/a i know that when i hit it hard i have reliable power every time

Yea, the engine bay of an RX-7 is a holy place, and if any other engine even thinks of entering this shrine, it should blow up! lol, i dont see why you would want another engine in it, even if the current engine has something wrong with it, you should replace it with another rotary. its just not right any other way... all those with V8 RX-7's or SR20 RX-7's should burn... Muahahahahahaha!!

Upon reading again.... a turbo III? WTF? It has turboS? with an S? the turbo II has one turbo, the FD3S RX-7 is the only (factory) RX-7 with more than one turbo. What is this car?

Well considering the speeling and grmmar I think its entirely possible that he held the "I" button down too long.

a tII for 1500 is a great deal, evne though it's not running. You can get the 13b's for pretty cheap from most mazda shops (since they have to be rebuild and thrown around so much). There's a shop here in MN that'll swap in a new engine for around 500 (that's with labor) so you could have a working tII for 2 grand.. that's a great deal!
