13B-RE Swap

I tried posting this in different section with no luck. I have been looking around for a new motor to swap into my 86 fc and I have been eyeballing the 13B-RE. I want to know what it takes, apart from the cosmo ecu, to run the cosmo 13B turbos sequentially. Would the stock wastegate need to be ported after adding an intake and exhaust? Would I need a fcd? If so, would a 2nd gen fcd work?

i suggest getting A Standalone, that should help out alot, and upgrading your fuel pump to a Supra FP, and Banzai racing has alot things and info for your swap!

Very nice.

here is a spreadsheet of what I spent ... I a missing a lot of little things that add up, but yeah. Looks like I got mine under 9k.

It runs, and I have 2k miles on it, but it's still needs some more money thrown at it to get it closer to being full.
