Engine Mechanical problem
1983 Mazda RX7 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual na miles

My dear has a 1983 Mazda RX7 that he just absoultely loves and will not get rid of so I am restoring. He wants a turbo engine to go in it and I was told that you can put a 1988 13b - turbo in the car and it will be fine. I don't want to shell out 1500.00 if it is not going to work. Do you think it will work in his car since it is two different years? He has a 12a in it now.

The transmission should bolt right up to it. Both are pre OBDII so it should work.
