Ive really warmed to these little cars since buying my first gen, there is a great 1st gen in norway somewhere I saw.
Thinking of making a first gen project, how easy does a 13b fit.

front mount 13b\'s are an easy fit, but I don\'t know if any were sold in the UK, the newer ones (2nd gen on) aren\'t as easy and I don\'t think a standard twin turbo lump would fit without fitting a single (what a pity)

I would imagine you don\'t need a great deal of power to make for a fairly scary car on the road.

i believe our friend Tim shoehorned a 13b-rew into an FB.He said it used to wheelspin in 4th gear at 80mph,and topped out at something like 170mph.

whats a 13b rew?  Not a turbo II then?  How much do they make I wonder?

13b rew = the twin turbo 13b from a third gen rx7
