* zips up flame suit *

ok i know this has been asked many of times but.... what are the clearence issues of using the stock twins off a REW or RE.... the setup looks like it would fit.... has anyone tried this before with any success ?? i dont plan on making a shitload of power.. its just i have a chance to pick up some stock twins for cheaper than i can rebuild my s5 turbo and i was looking into them... seem to make some good power... ( 350ish ) and if you tried gettin them in what did they hit? how much modification would it of taken to get them in?? thanks

 

50 views and nothing.. wow

 

Nothing a hammer can't fix. The last thread I read about it people were saying it fit if you used a little rubber gasket between the hinges, but this was almost a year ago I read that.

 

I really thought you were going to get flamed as well. Granted I have not had expierence with this, but I have read. It seems that you can get that much out of a BNR upgrade kit. And that way you won't have the hassle of twin turbo's. And it seems like a bunch of S6 owners wish they could upgrade to singles.
But I do remember som posts dicussing this why don't you try a search.

 

rubber hinges?? for what i would really like to get a pair in i know they can make some good power with some stock 3rd gen twins ive seen almost 400hp with some stockers.... but im just shooting for

 

im shooting for a realible 300-350hp to the ground and twins make a nice power band imo

 

**** - i need 450hp, and that's low because my friend's civic is hitting the 5oohp mark and i'm so behind, even though he is 30 i'm only 17 his old *** needs to get ownd. I believe the RE manifold fits on 13bts. i don't know for sure but i was going to get the COMPLETE Turbo System off a 13B-RE of thepartstrader for 300 and the guy who is selling them said it'll fit straight up with the 13bt in TurboIIs.

 

damn really if thats so im just gonna get a twin turbosetup!!! bolts right on i'd be happy as hell.. now to only make it work with the factory Mass air flow... i was thinking about making a Y from the factory MAF sensor... think it would work?

 

you'll have problems with the firewall....just warning you.

 

dang i wonder if someone has an exhuast manifold and a pair of stock twins laying around they wanna give me... i wanna see if i can get this to work!!!

 

if it doesn't work you can just grind the **** out of the manifold and make it work. i was going to do this setup but i need more poWER! plus the twin setup is good feel in drivability seemless power. But i'm a crazy bastard who wants to blast! i don't know why some people hate the lag, i love it..no power then BAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.......

 

if you want to ghetto that ****, they sell rubber couplings that splits into three in hardware stores, you will need a 2.5" coupling i think for the MAF and split to two 2.0"(est. compressor mouth size) and then start mixing a bunch of couplings to get togehter.

or if you want nice style, buy INTERCOOLER pipings off ebay and some collectors and piece them up and goto a welder and make them weld the way u want it to be.

 

The twins will fit.

 

ahhh just go single!

Sometimes single turbos will lack power in the powerband The RE twin turbo system has a very broad powerband....very nice.

 

supposedly they will not clear the fc intakes. and the cosmo intake has the fd pattern, so its not a bolt on

mike

 

does the turbo hit the intake manifold or is the Y-PIPE? if it's the y pipe then all you need to do is make a new y-pipe, but if the turbo hits the intake manifold then that's that.

Tony TurboII - do you mean the twins fit on the stock S5 manifold? or do you mean the whole system fit? since you have a 13b-RE can you test fit it to see what's up?

 

The twins will not fit on the S5 manifold. They need to use the manifold they came with. That manifold, will fit any 13B.

The whole system itself will fit with no major issues. I cant test fit it, the turbos are with me, and the motor/car is 40 miles away.

 

ok so then a twin turbo setup from an fd fits on an FC, with its own stock manifold? Wow id consider doing this if it was that simple. What do the twin turbo setups cost? Used of corse. Is there anything else we would have to modify??

 

dang so the only thing that does not clear is the ypipe coming from the turbos!?!? dang this is looking better than rebuilding my stock s5 (high miles want a rebuild )

 

i didnt read that part if someone could compare the lower intake manifolds i could prolly do a little fabbin myself

 

Give me a couple of weeks to get the REW motor in my TII, and Ill let you know. If you want something sooner, Ill measure the turbo/manifold dimensions for you, and let you go from there.

 

S4 and S5 intake manifolds feature a 90 deg bend BEFORE they attach to the engine.

S6 (FD) and Cosmo intake manifolds incorporate a 45 deg and the engine port incorporates a 45 deg bend. The resulting manifold is closer to and higher up on the engine.

This is also why the FD/Cosmo engine ports look so big- they are a cross section of a 90 deg bend as opposed the the FC's cross section of a straight port.

The FD or Cosmo twin turbos will hit the FC intake manifold as it is lower and further from the engine...

 

Now that you mention the intake manifolds, I didn notice the REW manifold is really tight to the block. You would at least need a spacer between the turbo manifold and engine, but I dont know if that will leave enough room for the downpipe. The downpipe is going to be kinda tight due to where it mounts.
