Yea. Hell a 20b will fit.

But there's more to it than just slapping it in, the next step is getting it to run right.

The exhaust ports are in a different spot, so the exhaust manifold wouldn't line up.

The correct answer is that with enough time and money anything is possible, including putting a FD or FC engine in the 8. But neither will just drop in, you would have to do a *lot* of custom fabrication and EMS work.

How about a carbureted 12A from a 1985 RX-7 1st generation?

Only thing I can't figure out is where to put the choke ****.

If you are asking if you can just use the turbos themselves with a Renesis the answer is yes. However it isn't a direct bolt-on affair. The Renesis has 3 exhaust ports while the 13B only has 2. This means you will have to do some custom fabricating of a new exhaust manifold to make them work. This doesn't really make it worth all the effort. While it may be posible to make it work, there'd be better ways to spend your time and money.
