N/A 13B-RE in an FC
hehehe, don't inquire as to WHY I'm asking about this, just humor me...
What are the requirements to drop an N/A 13B-RE into an FC?
Replace the turbo manifold w/ a header, replace the rotating assembly w/ a S5 N/A's assembly, and replacing the intermediate housing w/ one from a TII?
I know the intake track will be a problem after that. But theoretically, I could even use the N/A's ECU & a piggy-back, correct? (Assuming I went bare-block w/ the 13B-RE)

Where would you get could you get cosmo housings? Plus, to offset the cost of the J-Spec, I might sell the turbo and manifold.
This is KINDOF a stepping stone. I'd most likely convert it back to a high-compression turbo later...

After giving it a lot of thought. It's more cost effective (as in HP per $ total) to jut get a J-Spec TII engine, and convert that. Sure, it's not as prestigious as a 13B-RE... but, who cares?
