soon i will be putting a 87-88 13b turbo motor from rotary shack into my 83 gs. i know that racing beat makes a Front Engine Mount for any 74-85 13b but what will i have to do to make them fit also will i have to get the circular side engine mounts as well or will they fit right in, if there is anything else i need let me know, thanx

 

Im not going to say what you should have done before you started this thread because i hate giving peeps hard time...

So here we go to get the block into your car your going to need the following..

1. gsl-se front oil cover
2. gsl-se oil pan
3. 13b motor mount into a 12a chassis<when you do this you don't need the side circular engine mounts anymore...

All three of those things are sold through mazda trix brand new or you can look for a used one on ebay or here on the forum

 

I looked through some of your other threads and I think some more research is in order. Alot of this has been covered

You need that racing beat/mazdatrix/Respeeds crossmember and a first gen front cover, oil pan off a GSLSE.

SE front cover is NOT required, only to retain the OMP. Otherwise a 12a one will do.

good threads

whos threads mine?

 

No, we posted at the same time

 

what tranny are you running? 12a or 13b

 

most likley stock 12a that in the car now i think if i do that i need a certain clutch and flywheel

 

not special just the right combo...the teeth count on the shaft coming off the 12a tranny is a few less then the turbo...

 

Only retain the -SE oil pan cover if you do NOT plan on premixing. If you plan on premixing, then you can use a 12a cover. The only reason the -SE 13b front cover is retained (from what I hear) is that you will have all your OMP linkages for the OMP to work.
