Just wondering how difficult it would be to drop a full 13btt 5spd swap in a fc n/a?

Would it drop right in?

Would i need full harness and ecu?

Would i also need rear end?

 

read the FAQ please

 

Also it's a stupid idea. S6 = Pull type throw out bearing. S5/S4 TII is a push type like the stocker.

 

you will need an FD.

 

ok, im just selling all my parts any ways

 

the 5 speed is a waste of time/money...however the 13b-rew into the fc is an awesome idea!!! you can use the stock t2 tranny with it

 

ah ok well just wondering since wrecked my fd and a rolling fc would be 10x cheaper since finding a rolling fd under 3k is near impossiable

 

What you save in the cheaper chassis you will spend double or triple that in a proper conversion...

 

ok thanks

 

Actually bolting in the motor and transmission is the easiest part of that swap.
What's gonna kill you is the electrical...the FD has an insanely complex and intertwined wiring system and getting an interface between your FC chassis harness and the necessary FD engine control systems would be a nightmare (this assumes you need all the emissions to function).

 

custom engine mounts, lsd rear end, custom exhaust, custom driveshaft, radiator, haltech ecu, fuel pump.. if you can get the mounts made and a aftermarket ecu.. thats most of the major work

ah ok, yeah not worried bout emssions, and thanks for that link... well if i cant find an fd or sell my engine and trans i may try the fd in a fc swap

 

Sell your FD stuff to pay for the FC. depending of what you can salvage, with the money you make you can buy a running TII.

 

what a load of horse crap, 400 for the kit and you still need the FD trans and that **** is not cheap, you could just have a trans shop fix your FC trans for cheaper than that

 

well i have engine, trans, ecu and ect in a parts car but yeah parting out the aftermarket stuff to break enough to get another fd shell, they arnt too many tII round me 4 sale

 

...and there are more FD's ?

 

but forgetting about emmissions. wouldnt a stand alone FIX all the wiring headach that you will get in the process of swapping the motor?

 

yeh i cant find many answers, i have a ported 13b with some eliminations and a single turbo kit w/ single turbo harness on the way... i register in wi so no worries about emissions

 

* meant to say have complete fd swap
