^^Agreed. No 91 engines came with the twin turbo option.

If you do not have access to a welder or want to utilize the stock mounts you cam always do it the way that I did and just swap covers. Only downside is that you have to use a 2nd gen CAS and the SE oil pan. The oil pan bolt holes will not all match up but you can re-drill for the correct locations.

i dont know if it was talked about in the past page or not but i just had this question, this person i know that claims he's messed around with rotary's all his life, he say's that u can use the gsl-se front cover/oil pan, it wont bolt up 100% but he said damn near, he also went on and sayin that it wont leak an wont have any problems....and my last question is would the stock motor fit into the s3 chassis stock twin's and all?....sorry if it doesnt make sence on the 1st question but i just wanted 2 know if anyone's ever tried 2 bolt up the gsl-se cover/oil pan

Ok, you need to look a couple post up to my last comment.

The oil pan WILL leak if you do not re-drill.

Just a question for you.
When you converted your RX7 did you intall high flow turbos or just rplace them with new ones.

Yes, you can swap the front cover. That is what I did.

And the twins will fit in the bay. If my turbo fits so will the twins. I attached a picture for ya.

Yep, but once the Intercooler is in there it doesn't look very big. Gotta love the sleeper.

While still staying affordable this is the way to go. At one point I considered this but knew that later down the road I was going to want to upgrade so why not just do it now. I believe that some non-seq twins can hit 350 or so at 15psi.

My car is Primarily a street car. That I am hoping will hit about 450rwhp. I have yet to take it to the dyno though. Just a fun car on the side.

Hopefully you will hit those numbers. I don't see why you wouldn't hit them, well other than you need a center plate and get that engine put back together. Hopefully you can find a RE-TT center plate I know it has been hard enough just to get ahold of a good REW center plate. Hope you find one soon. I am looking forward to helping you put that thing back together.

FYI - the FD (13b-rew) was first available in Japan in 1991.

I used the stock radiator so I just blocked of the ast outlet. I have also made a new oil pan that holds more oil, I will post up pics once I make sure it fits in the cradle corectly.
