I liek this project hope it turns out, do a writeup b/c FC owners are cheap and would rather do it themselves. Nice way to try and reap this corner of the market though

It's not a very big market, and quite honestly there's not a whole lot of point to most FC owners doing it unless they have the parts laying around. The engine really isn't all that much better than the other TII's (except the reinforced rear-iron, and a few other things), which most FC owners will never stress. That and for what it cost to usually get the engine, brackets/etc, you could usually rebuild a 13BT with all of the above mentioned problems fixed for about the same. It is always quite impressive to see the twins in an FC though!

cuz we don't care about some guy doing an SR20 swap in his FC ..........a twin turbo swap is always asked about and we all say that is is more of a hassle than any other swap.....but since you have everything you should make a list of what is required to make it work for future reference.......to show that what we say is difficult COULD be a piece of cake.......so we await your write-up on this and then we will have a 13BT into an NA swap, the 13B-REW into an NA swap and the 13B-RE and 20B swaps into the NA......
