About using the newer injection system. If you are putting it in a rv6 or 6a,
you will have to make a whole lot of changes to the cowl and it is doughtful
that you can make it fit, even turning the engine on its side. If you discard
the factory system you should still be producing above the 1986 146 hp. I have
been working on my intake system for my 13b for my rv6a for the last 2 years.
I have change it three times but I think I have most of the problems solved.
At least I hope so.
I am using the bottom half of the stock intake manifold and then a spacer to
hook up to the top runners of the 93 rx7. I am also using the 93 rx7 throttle
body and custom adapter to Air Flow Performance Injection. This setup gives me
the low profile I need and if any cowl modifications should be small. The
engine sits up right as laying the engine on its side is not recommended. I
have been working on MAZDA for the past 30 years.
