Finally Got My Truck Running
Well it's been a while since i've posted here but when i did i was in the process of transplanting a 13B from a second gen rx7 in my 93 B2200. If i could do it all over again, there are many things i'd do different and if it weren't for school just changing my mind on what to do with the truck constantly, I would have been able to get it done faster. Yesterday I took it on my first test drive and it was great.....loud as hell (open header) but great. After messing with stock computer setup for a while, i finally decided to switch over to aftermarket mangagement and went with microtech. Here's what it took me to do the swap.
-An rx7 transmission, Non turbo, i swapped the tailhousing and the intermediate housing from the truck onto the rx7's tranny
-I made myself motor mounts-one modified rx7 mount and one modified b2200 mount
-I used the wiring from the truck as much as possible to wire the sensors, the wire colors were pretty much consistant between the rx7 and the truck which made wiring up the alternator, temp sensor, pressure sensor and a few other things rather simple.
-Wiring the microtech ecu was one of the simplist wiring jobs i've done, the wires are all labled and all have to do is route em and solder em.
-Getting rid of all of the control solenoids under the intake really cleans up the engine, the hardest part is hooking up a purge system for the evap canister.
-I put a gauge cluster from an rx7 in my truck
-A fuel pump and hanger from a second gen rx7 bolts right into the stock sending unit location from my truck, i just used an upgraded pump on the rx7 hanger, wired it up and was good to go
I'm sure it took a little more than that but that's all i can think of now.....any questions and i'll be happy to answer them.
Or give me a call and i'll be glad to talk to you about my whole swap. Soon i'll post some pictures....maybe a link to a video i took!
