Is it possible to put a twin turbo FD engine in a FC, and if so how difficult of a procees would it be?

Someone ought to keep count of how many times this thread has been made. Id assume its somewhere in the 1000's by now.

its been done?

i thought no one had done it haha

but its alot of custom work. 13bre swap would be easier

how about next time you try to help than flame someone when you are a newbie too

as for the person who started the thread...yes its been done expect to bring out more than 3000.00 for parts and custom work not included are 13brew and electronic system...so somewhere between 5000.00 -10,000.00

Essentially, you can put a 3-Rotor in for the cost of fitting in an 13B-RE or 13B-REW. Provided you already own the motor.

The conclusion to this type of thread is, its posible but its much cheaper and more power potential witht the 13B-RE.

Hey, thanks alot for the sites, I have tried to use the search before for other stuff and i never got anything, so i just decided to skip it, but the info is kickass, i've had a 90 rx-7 GXL for about 4 months now, and im always wondering about the things you can do with 7's, and i plan on getting another FC someday and making it into a little race car, I would use the one I have now, but i cant risk blowing the motor or something else on it messing up, its my sole car,a nd i need a way around. But Thanx again, ill probabley end up putting it to good use eventually.

if this is your only car then I suggest you stay NA for now.....whenever you think you're ready for more power your best bet will be installing a 13BT of the same series....s4NA with S4 turbo motor and S5 with S5.....this is so you can just plug and play and turn it on after the install (assuming you don't **** up.)

plug and play? It is suggested you use the 13bt tranny right? I just popped a coolant seal and insted of throwing another 13b in my 87 i was thinking, since its not running anyway, of doing the 13bt swap. I would need the motor, tranny and ecu correct? thanks.

why when a 13BRE is a better option?

nopistons13

hmm, alright. thanks

Madrx7racer

if you have access to a full TII parts car then I would transfer everything over to the 87 including the rear subframe like I did:


I don't understand why people are crazy about the 13BRE.........granted it has a few minor benefits but it's basically slightly better than the 13BT but not as good as the 13B-REW and the HP on a stock 13B-RE is slightly higher than a 13BT.

Aren't the stock 13B-RE ports larger than the 13B-REW ports? I think I read a recent thread that said that. Even had a pic of an FD with a 13B-RE in it.

Madrx7racer

intake ports are larger, exhaust ports are smaller

speaking of 13B-RE...I happen to have my 89GXL-RE swap for sale...check out the forsale section

wow 5-10 g's you can do a 20b swap. a rew swap should not be nowhere near that

Madrx7racer

you need to read a little better...........between 5k(if you do everything yourself) to 10K (if you DO NOT do everything yourself)

Basically, as far as I can tell, the main difference between the RE and REW, at least as far as fitment is concerned, is that the RE motor mounts match up closely enough to use a cheap adapter, while the REW requires much more custom work. Here is a link on how to do an RE swap and what to expect in doing it. http://fc3spro.com/TECH/SWAP/COSMO/13b-re.html

It's easier to install, especially with drop-in adapters.

easier than a TII swap into an NA?
