[rx626_81]

ok so i have a mazda 626 81 rwd auto at the moment with a 2.0L MA engine (australian spec)
my project for this car was to upgrade the engine, my dream would be to drop a 13b rotary into it, probably a rx7 s1, with the transmission too, but my problem is i dont have the time or skills to manufacture engine mounts for it, i was wondering if it was a straight swap would it fit/ if not anyone have any info about any other engines with power which fit easily?


i've seen a few rx626 81's so i know its possible i just cant find anything on the process
any post would be helpful
or email my home email, as i dont come on here often

You've not the only one who have been thinking of this, believe me
I also want to do this.

As far as i know, you have to make your own motor brackets, but it shouldnt be too hard if you think about all the space you have under the trunk. The 2.0L MA engine does not take up so much space, so fitting a 13B shouldnt be that hard.

What i am consernd about is the brakes, and the rear driveshaft.

yeah i know there are a few people wanting to do it, my plan is to do it over a couple of years, so maybe fabrication mounts wont be to much hassle, thats for the info anyway
there is a prime 13b on ebay at the moment too, i dont have the cash to bid but its worth a look

this might not be what your after but if you want power then the Ma moter can provide plenty of that if worked a little,
mine puts out about 130 hp (not a race car but burns the ass off a stock motor).
mine check it

And this dude told me his turbo was doing a 1/4 mile like a 5ltr V8 ....Fast
and i know his webers ( from personal experience, my mates Datto ) keep up with the best of them.
have a look .......sweet.

either of his configurations will be a heap cheaper than a swap and you can keep, gear box, diff, motor, maybe brakes?
hope this has opened up your options.
good luck.
