I've got a 91 n/a. i got it form a guy who took it to mazda to get a new swap so the engine had only 3000 miles on it. i'd love to do a fd 13btt swap but i don't want to keep my car stock now. so since this engine is new, i wanted to turbo it and street port but here's the thing, the best stuff out there is for the fd 13b so what parts can i use? will the fd turbo manifold work, will the fd intake manifold work?

 

There is a LOT of part for the FC, and as far as I know the FD manifolds wont fit. BTW what do you mean by ''turbo'' manifold?

 

None of it will swap over...except for the spark plugs.

To install the entire 13B-REW motor into your car will take some custom fabrication work.
It's not recommended with your non-turbo drivetrain - you'll end up breaking most of it due to the elevated power levels.

The motor swap is more headaches than it's worth.

just do a 13bt swap. the s5 is almost a "plug & play" swap. BUT if you want something different i would do th RE swap.

 

i meant turbo exhaust manifold. i was just watching videos of tuned fc's and fd's and it seems to me that ported fd's sound soo much better. not so much "rattle" more of an exotic super car sound. so yeah, thanks for the info guys. now my choice is down to just mild tuning the fc or going all out for the fd swap. i'd like to win the lottery right now :\

 

people with fds usually have money money and can afford better exhausts.
