Contact the guys at Gotham Racing and ask them to take a pic of the engine bay of the 90 Rx7 13BRE Convertible they have sitting there. Its waiting for a replacement turbo. I don't know if they can or not. But I will once I get it back to Houston.
I bought a 13BRE from Japan...it was beat up. 1st rebuild was done with FD housings, T2 rotors. Single Turbo. Everything else was 13BRE. Current rebuild has been done by Gotham. Same basics as above but with upgrades. Rotors milled for 3mm seals. Balanced. Rotor bearings from Mazda Comp. Cerma coating etc etc.
By using the FD housings it made it very easy to use the HKS stainless exhaust manifold with the T04 mounting. The turbo is a Turbonetics...jury is still out on what I think of their product. Drivetrain is T2. Control is done with Microtech. Yes, the components are worth more than the car but unlike Warren Buffet...I decided to spend my billions on an old Rx7.
Warren! Pass the djion ketchup.

I'm having the Cosmo swap going into my FC, but right now it being ported and getting preped for a complete rebuild. Anyways if you need info on the swap call the shop in my signature and ask for JR. He has swapped 13B-REW, 13B-RE, 20B, and numerous S5 into FC's and FD's. He's been dealing with nothing but rotaries for over, I think, two decades so he quite knowledgeable when it come to our RX-7s'. -Keith

yes. a tii drive train will work with a cozmo. you need to swap out the front case of the engine to the fc. the cosmo case's pullies and coolant are in different locations. the coolant goes to the driver side when on an fc it goes straight forward on passanger side
it does have an automatic trani
you can put a tii trani on
you need to rig up a tii ecu to work for the cosmo because the stock ecu is ment for automatic trani
you can also use a programable ecu. thats what mine has
"mines" ecu
i doubt you can use the stock manafold on it. i am just having one fabricated

^ What Mazda Stuff said.
Gotham is a very good shop.. they're all great guys and like he said, they have a 13B-RE FC Vert sitting in their garage. I'm sure they can help you out.

the turbo ii tranny fits but there is no hole for the starter. and the drivers side mount is different. there aree some people who make these, does anyone know where to get them as i am doing this swap myself.

The rotor housing has nothing to do with the turbo exhaust manifold position or turbo clearance to the lower intake manifold.

I cannot vouch on how well they fit.
All I know is that the old K2RD Cosmo mounts fit perfectly, even with the stock twins.

The lower radiator hose comes out similar to what an FC 13B does.
