Thanks grizzly.. I am aleady on it!! the main thing that concerns me is wiring loom and oil cooler plumbing. There are twin and single oil cooler models but do they both have the same plumbing? Also are all the wiring looms the same or do I need a motor forma 1992-1995 model. Please can someone confirm this.
Also there is the small point that half the car is in pieces and seeing as I have never seen inside an RX-7 yet alone taken one apart there is the small problem of putting it back together correctly! What do you reckon that\'s worth anyway? I was thinking £1000 tops for al the above reasons?

cheers

its prob worth its value in parts which would be around 1200 id say...

Give Tim at RX Motors a shout as he normally has a few in various degrees of condition, engine and body wise.

That car just needs a pre 95 engine, box and harness, you need to find a car being broken and buy the engine as a Complete unit.

As long as its a 8 bit engine and loom (four plug to the ECU) i don\'t think you\'ll have a problem.

Thanks Grizzly.. Is pre-1995 including 1995? I thought the model change was 1996? How can I check if the ECU is 8 BIT is it written on it? Or are the 4 plugs a good indicator?! The engine I was looking at is from a 1995 model RB..

Who are RX Motors? where are they and how can I contact them? Are they dorset way?

Cheers

an 8 bit ecu will have an N3A7 code on it... i think 16 bit is N*F* (* means i cant remember what numbers go there)

Yep as One2watch says N3A7 or all the 8 bits have 4 plugs so that would work too (16 bit have 3)

Also it includes 95, i only said 95 as opposed to 96 because its a safe bet it\'s 8 bit (i\'m not sure when in 96 they changed to 16)

Also if you are change the hole lot (engine loom etc etc) you may want to look into fitting a 16bit engine, i know it can be done but have never really looked into it so i couldn\'t tell you. I know it can\'t be mixed and matched but if you find one thats being broken its another option.
