I got a modified front cover from a 12A (modified for turbo oil return) You have to use a 12A cover cuz 13b arent mountable from the front...
Heres the pics

Would you need a bigger fuel tank with a 10 mpg street consumption.

i seen on some fast fours and rotary vids that the big thing in ausie is turning your twin sequentials into full all time twins,
mazda made a reprogramed computer and some other **** to do it on the sp1 cars that they used to kick porsche's *** for four years in a row,
not to mention all the other years they won.
will bring the vids down when i come.

Converting the stock twins from sequential to parallel (not exactly parallel
) would probably be your best bet. People installing 20Bs do that. The 13B-RE isn't really any different in that respect is it?

Only thing I see that open up for the 2nd turbo is the actuator, if you look at the turbo pic. It has a big actuator at the bottom. If you move it back and forth you here something open up in that tube going to it. But anyways, last nite I went out with some friends and I was rather drunk when I got back here and looked (of course I didnt remove any bolts or do anything stupid )
I went out there this morning and started taking measurements. I really dont think this thing is gonna fit with the twins on it, I think Im gonna have to go single anyways? So we'll see ...
From the front cover bolts that mount the engine on a 12A , if measure from the 2 on the passenger side of the mount, its only 13.5 inches to the frame. So the cosmo would have to be less than 13 from that point to the end of the turbos etc. Im not gonna know until I get the cover on it. Also looks like the turbo/exhaust is gonna hit the idler arm too... The car pretty much dictates what you can do and what you cant do, its just a matter of 'do you wanna listen to it'
