i curious to know more about the re motor if its strong than the turbo 2s and what needed to do the drop in my second gen besides the mount. i heard that you can use the stock series 5 ecu with the re harness is that correct? how much hp does it produce stock?

 

cosmo, bigger intakes= more power, i plan on getting one next year

 

The TurboII 13BT engine and the cosmo 13B-RE engine both produce 200hp stock. The difference is that the 13B-RE is able to produce much more power however it also requires a lot more money and time to install properly in a FC.

 

what needed to do the 13b re swap?

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S4 13BT = 182
S5 13BT = 200
13B-RE = 230ish

Not to mention that that 13B-RE has SMALLER exhaust ports

 

And twin sequential turbos. There are quite a few guys that have done 13T to 13BRE
swaps. It is not a straight drop. There are some things you would have to do first.
1.Seq. turbos: keep or sell for single. Most have gone single with this swap
2.Break open the 13BRE before dropping it in. Change out the exhaust sleeves cause they are very restrictive. You can use your 13BT exhaust sleeves. Some minor porting to get out cast imperfections. No need for any enlarging, those ports are huge already :P Swap or Buy new stationary gears and some other little stuff
3. Upgrade everything else to suit :P

Search up 13BRE swap or 13B-RE swap

 

the 13bre is a stronger block. If youare going to go standalone its not a big deal. just buy yourself the pineapple racing mounts and it will drop in.

The 13bre block is much stronger than the 13bt
