thanks in advance.

so you bought it without knowing if it would work.....
yes it can swap in,
yes you will need new mounts. (http://www.banzairacing.net has them)

cosmo = 13bre... there's such a thing as a USDM Cosmo¿
is there even a 13btt? aren't the FD engine's = 13b-rew?
i believe you're going to need motor mounts and a single turbo kit (i don't think the cosmo twin's will fit)... good luck with the conversion though

I don't think the U.S. GOT a cosmo 13B-RE???? or are you talking about the 13B-REW???
either way I don't think it was a good idea to buy the motor BEFORE doing the research............ you'll need mounts, a way to hook everything up to the ECU (splicing or Standalone) , fuel pump, injectors, fuel controller, boost controller, I don't know about the clutch/tranny difference but I assume there will be some differences. Start buying parts now.....

I have sucessfully completed a swap, sold the car and the guy that bought it is supposedly daily driving it. I am about to go into my second swap which is going to be a Vert that I just recently aquired.
As for parts:
You will need to get motor mounts. I got mines from www.banzairacing.net.
As for the clutch, tranny, and other drivetrain parts: you can uses all T2 parts. Yes, they bolt right to it. I would suggest getting a lightweight flywheel b/c all Cosmos are auto, so (as long as someone else didnt already strip off the counterweight) its already ready for a lightweight flywheel and a strong clutch setup.
For the ECU: If you go with a single turbo setup, you could get it to work w/ a T2 wiring harness. However, I suggest not doing this as my car ran like **** with that ECU and I like having a twin setup. Thus, a standalone will be your best friend (as I shortly found out.)
You will need a FMIC or a V-mount.
You will need custom piping.
You will need tuning.
You will patience and you will need time.
How much is it going to cost you: About $5-7K + labor if you use reasonable parts (this is including the price of the engine and will be a little cheaper if you have a T2 as a donor car. )
Is it worth it???? Lets just say, I'm about to start my second project, and this time since I have more money to play with because I sold two of my other cars, I'm going ***** to the walls. Well not really, but its gonna be nice. Anyway, if you have any specific questions PM me. L8ter.
