Has anyone tried this yet? I mean, this would make the car so much lighter because the engine weighs less correct, and produces more power right?
Is this a good idea?
~HAHAHA~ I just noticed that my "ranking" of posting says I have Intake, Strut Bars, and Plug Wires... Well, matter of fact, that's exactly what I have just missing KyB struts.~HAHAHA~

i am gonna try and do thisthe car would be sooo fast and i dont think its as impossible as people say it is. I have gone over everything that needs to be done and all i relaly need to fabricate is dash mounts (swap entire dash), engine mounts and a custom driveshaft. The only problem I forsee is the powerplant frame. I have not tried to fit this yet.

alright, you gotta keep us informed about that. It would be fast as hell. It's just a pain in the butt to do all the modifications to get it in there. Do you know if the wiring is much more difficult because it's a different company?
all i can say in Japanese is Ganbatte yoand Arigato gozaimasu for the info LOL
oh wait wasn't supposed to say this while I met you?Hajime ma****a Dozo yoroshiku...?

You know..... it's fun to toss these engine swap ideas around.... but realistically it is pointless. Unless you get the engine for free, and haven't got an RX-7 laying around to throw it into.... then maybe. But still, unless you fabricate everything yourself, get the engine for free, and have all kinds of time and know-how.... you'd be better off with an RX! It's a better car, and for the money you would save by NOT putting it into a 240, you could really build the hell out of it!

Dont take this the wrong way, but why bother. Why would you want a 13b in a 240 when you could have an sr20 or ca18. The 13b-rew only makes 255 at the crank.
If you are gonna do a swap that is gonna take this much fabrication, put in an RB26.
It would be okay if you are gonna get a built 13b from Atkins or Pineapple. Or a 20b, which will cost you around $10,000 to $15,000 to do properly (or have someone do).
Way too much money IMO.
PS : I have a blown up 2nd Gen RX7 if your interested.

That would be pretty cool. The only reason i would do that is if it were around the same price as an SR or RB swap. Other than cool points i dont think it would have that much of an advantage over the other engines. If ur going for cool points and more hp id love nothing more than to see a VG30DETT in a 240http://www.meggala.com/hybrid/hyb5.jpg (VG30DET in S13)

You have an FD with a blown motor? If so, e-mail me at: [email protected]
I would have PMed or e-mail you...but none of those features work.

The rotary gets a bad rap, once you figure out their idiosyncracies they are reliable. I have two rotorhead buddies who squeeze over 500hp out of their spirograph-mills, a 13B and 20B and have yet to meet a CA or SR or RB26 they can't take out. I will have to sell my RX7 when it's done to finance my R30 but I'm keeping the bridgeport motor that's in it right now just in case;)

2nd gen is an FC, exactly what the 13b belongs in, but if you have the money to waste, throw it in an S13.... :rolleyes

damnit! I forget to include the SA22 RX-7 :pface thanks for that bit of info.
oh wells....it would have been nice to have a FD with no motor for a cheap price.
To response to this topic...its a waste of money IMO to drop in any RX-7 motor into a 240SX. It has been done before...but as you already know..someone has a SR in a RX-7 (FD).
