How much should I pay in the Midwest for a used 13B ? What should I look for? I
want to turbocharge / turbo - normalize it. Are all RX-7 models of a certain age
turbos?

Am  I better off buying an entire car to get all the pieces and parts?

I would go for the complete running car. That way you can be sure you
are not getting ripped off and you can use a lot of the parts.
Junk yard engines could be just that.

Travel around the country if necessary to find a good one.
The best years for the Turbo II are 1990-91 and maybe 1989 I am not
sure
about that. Prior turbos crack a lot more and later dual turbos are
just
not suitable. Prices should be around $2,000 to $3,000.
Not all cars are turbo. What you are looking for is the Turbo II.

I would suggest using Tracy Crook's Book as it has several great suggestions on which engine and hardware to use. Tracy says to use some of the hardware from the total engine pachage to kluge the accesories from. You will have the manufold, the fuel injectors and other such stuff. Use an Automatic version as you get the balance weight too. Also to I used his Fuel pumps, and alternate A and B at the even and Odd years to keep the wear uniform.

Thanks Jerry. Got the title of the book? There are 444 books on Amazon for
"Tracy Crook rotary", and more for just Tracy Crook.
