RX510

Ginger my German Short Hair Pointer

I Vote Thunder Hill, There is space for a car show/swap meet autocross and it is an SCCA Racetrack. I also think a pre-85 import option would be good. That way it includes the AE85 Carolla.

Best put this is Ballet in an automobile.

18 when I bought my 2 door, and Im pushing 30. Been fixing it for more than a decade. Probably driven it 30 times in the last 10 years. Its about to be road worthy again though

Its a 91 integra dash, and I dont have any final pics of the engine bay. I will try to post some soon.

MORE PICS

I have a 13b in my car. It really wont make a difference which motor you use if you stay with a carb. The 12a and 13b are almost exactly the same external size. The difference is in the intake manifolds 12a are all carbs and 13bs are almost all fuel injected (though they make quite a few carb kits for them). The first 13b efi was in 1984 with the gsl-se. There is more than A LOT of work to make this happen. If you are not a fabricator DONT DO THIS SWAP, there is a lot of metal work, custom fabrication and time. Nothing fits right! I have to disconnect my steering to take my headers off. I had to relocate the fuel and brake lines to the drivers side because the exhaust runs down the pass side, and is much more hot than a piston engine. I cut the original mounts off of the cross member and made my own (see photos). That includes trans cross member, and custom driveshaft. I mated the front of the rx7 shaft to the 510 shaft (have this done and balanced. I did custom wiring once when it was fuel injected, and once again when I switched to the Racing Beat Holley Kit (which is worth its weight it gold, in-fact all of their parts are). Make good friends with them they are a great company and very helpful. I rerouted the oil lines and oil filter because the filter location is now under the trans tunnel. I had to fabricate a new trans tunnel because of the width of the rx7 bell housing. I also replaced the firewall. Get to know the Rotary Engine because they are NOTHING like any other engine! I know that isnt everything, so feel free to ask. Im more than happy to share my experience and knowledge. My car is a lot of fun to drive and it is happy all the way to 9000 rpm but its a lot of work, more than I ever thought it would be. Remember that all of this depends on how far you want to set your engine back in the car. Mine is technically mid engine, and if you are going to go through the trouble you might as well get the best weight distribution out of it. oh yeah remember the motors weight is close to that of a large midget so if you keep the same front suspension it will sit higher. Either use lighter spring rates or shorten the springs. I used coil overs, and Im sure that you can find more than a few sets to fit your needs. -Josh

Yeah, Totally either that or a sentra dash. The only reason that it has the acura dash is because I got it free.

Engine Pics! 84 6port 13b with a Holley 600

Dont stone me for sacrilege, but its a 91 integra dash.

I finally got around to washing my dime, Its not the prettiest, but you know what they say, "its whats inside that counts", right?. I also adjusted idle mixture, idle speed and leading and trailing timing. Wow What a difference!

Let me know how you like that 13b? Are you staying with the efi? Those late model 13b's are pretty nice, and lots of fun!

Im in Sacramento I have tools, and some Parts. 916/947/6646 Im always happy to help out a Datsun driver, I got rescued from a fellow dimer after a long trip to Shasta, called in a favor for a spare 4 speed, which was delivered along with gear oil. After a purchase of a cherry picker and a few hours later the wagon was on her way! THANKS CHAD, We still owe you for that tranny delivery! -Josh

Great Datsun vid!

Im up for something like this.
