cosmo front clip on ebay (13bre)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1875920140

does anyone know what all has to be done for a 13bre swap? all i want is the block, turbos, and manifolds and sensors. i would probably end up getting a standalone for engine management, but can a stock turboII ECU handle a 13bre? i always thought it was just a 13bt with bigger ports, higher compression, 2 turbos, and better manifolds...

my only real concern is where the motor mounts are. can i use turboII 13bt motor mounts?

thanks

haha, buy it and complain it doesn't have 175 psi, and get your money back
("This engine includes a start and run warrany, as well as having a minumum of 175 PSI Compression")

tempting, but I'd rather pay the same price and buy from a known reputable dealer.

the compression isnt higher. The ports are bigger. The turbo's are not as good as FD twins. Plus, without them running in sequetial mode, they will produce about as much as a small single. Its not a drop in and go swap though, still requries a bit of work.

Are they actually bigger, or do they just look bigger because they come out of the block at at angle?

They're a bit smaller, as the Cosmo's 13B was tuned for more torque.

Peak power should be they same whether running parallel of sequential, but sequential improves torque down low.
