So Ive been planing on putting a turboed 13b in my GS foer some time now, but Now I need to pick an engne. Should I go woth the Turbo Cosmo, or the T-II?? What are the major differences? Whats easier to install??? Thank's!!

 

The number of rotors they have.

 

Cosmo 1, 2, 3? Then why is it still labled as a 13B? power differences? Reliability, etc...

 

Ok there are 2 different cosmo motors, the 20b three rotor and the 13b-RE 2 rotor. Most likely your talking about the 2 rotor since the 3 rotor is expensive to pull off.

The major difference between the 13b-re and the s5 tii is port and runner sizes. the RE ports are huge compared to a 13bt. Heres a writeup about a fc install but ti gives alot of general info:

The Cosmo 13B is twin turbo. It's not really feasible to keep these so you'd be looking at an aftermarket turbo.

 

Dollar for dollar the T2 will be cheaper. its all about money. If you got it then the Cosmo is the better choice.

Easier, TII.

Better looking/stock performance Cosmo

 

cosmo or 13b rew? I would think the 20b because i hate 13b's but bang for buck,

 

Well sum1 is in their own little thread.

 

 

seriously though ...

just go for a Gen II 13BT unless you either have the money to spend on the RE or you have very specific (and lofty) plans that would justify the extra coin. i'm pretty sure a 13B-T can make you plenty happy.

 

if you tune a T II right you will be plenty happy. RE can be expensive it can yeild you plenty of hp too ask DirectFreak hes got a RE 13B in his FB and its damn good lookin too but takes money to something like that! theres guys on here in the 1st gen that T II engines in there FB too! if any of this sounds incomplete or like jiberish its bc i just got done going on a 1 1/2 and i cant i think straight Go Army!!!

 

1 1/2? roadmarch, run, ftx?

oh, and i did go army. they said go to hell, so now im in iraq, w00t!

 

Its the Cosmo 2 rotor (jdm). Its the same price as a Turbo II. Just was wondering what is the better of the two. Will a Turbo II tranny bolt up to the cosmo??

 

^^^ I second what Max said.
