FD irons in an fc
 

i wonder if the irons in the fd motor make a part of the difference in power? as far a factory porting, is it different?

i was thinking i could use them in my fct2 conversion

hit me back

You can't use them. The would require custom motor mounts, and the rest of the pieces for the fd motor; manifolds, front cover etc etc. The port runners are a lot larger, porting is similar to s5 t2 irons.

so in other words i could use s5 irons with fd intake runners? just currious, kidof a dumb question but i just had to ask to amuse myself with some ideas....

I would like to know the answer to that as well. What sort of complications would you run into trying to get the fd intake manifold on an s5?

Would probably be easier to just use an FD motor. Or a cosmo 13b motor, the port runners on those are huge.

An FD engine is a pain in the ass to put into an FC. They changed the engine mounts just to piss us off.

The intake runners are on the Irons. If you meant fd intake manifolds thats a negative, won't bolt up.

Some beleive its changed to handle the extra torque.
