Hi guys,

I really wanted to use this engine and box in a project car, but space is getting tight so this is now for sale.

12A turbo engine (165hp) complete with low compression rotors (8.5:1), larger volume oil pump, Hitachi turbo, fuel injection, turbo oil drain in front cover, boost retarding distributor, direct oil injection through the housings (similar to FC design).
Comes with all sensors, coils, leads, complete loom and computers, air box and all piping.
No radiator or oil cooler but these are the same as S3 radiator and S2 front mount oil cooler.
Can throw in a S3 rear counterweight if needed.

12A turbo gearbox (significantly stronger box)
Turbo ratios are: 1st: 3.622, 2nd: 2.186, 3rd: 1.419, 4th: 1.000, 5th: 0.791
UK FB ratios are: 1st: 3.674, 2nd: 2.217, 3rd: 1.432, 4th: 1.000, 5th: 0.825

Asking £750 the lot.

Here's the pics:

Turbo - HT18S-BM
No oil showing in the inlet or outlet, top hat, manifold etc. No apparent damage and no play in the bearings.















The turbo manifold - N253
No cracks and the gaskets are all intact and in good condition.







The block
Has comp on all 6 faces. All apex seals are intact. Engine is complete and unopened. Can be front or side mounted from centre iron (as in HB Cosmo). Comes complete from fan to clutch.
I oiled it when i got it so pics may look oily.









Comes with everything you see here:





The gearbox
It's a S3 gearbox with a S4 style bellhousing (extra vents) and better gear ratios and stronger. This will bolt to any 12A.
I've subbed in a pic of a S3 gearbox for your viewing pleasure (on the right)

If it wasn't for <insert whatever reason here> i would come over this weekend and pick it up...
I've wanted one of those engines since I bought my first 7...

Hopefully someone makes something cool out of it and documents it well...

Will ship

hehe...

Im looking at a £11.000 quote for some work on the house... not much left to spend on long term rx7 projects this year...

Besides... It would probably be illegal with our MOT rules to fit that engine since it was never certified in sweden, which means that I would have to basicly build a new tube frame or make a mid-engine car out of the RX or something similar in scale in order to re-register it as "amateur built" and the forking up about £1000 in fees and then it would be entered as a 2012 model...

benefits are no exhaust rules, 15kw / 100kg weight power restriction.

on the other hand swapping in a T2 only requires engine, driveline and brake replacement, less fees and gives the 15kw / 100kg weight power restriction as maintianed model year (which in sweden means no road taxes if the car is 30+ years).

Still can't let go of the "want-to-have" feeling.

Still available. Will break and split parts.

PM if interested in any parts.

Asking £200 for the gearbox. Better ratios and stronger box.

Damn this is tempting. Too bad shipping to the US would probably kill me...

Still for sale

Now sold.

Who snapped this up and whats it going into???

Will discuss in private dude. If he wants to make himself known I'll let him do that.
