Progress on the twin-turbo Cosmo FC

Heres what i got done this weekend:

Bolted down turbo and downpipe, got the vacuum rail installed, modified the radiator supports and installed radiator. Started dry fitting pulley's and water pump housing, radiator hoses.

I'm thinking of moving my 13b-t motor into the convertible and going with the cosmo 13b-tt motor in the Turbo II

Also - why 13b-tt cosmo and not the 13b-rew TT FD motor ??

Guess you haven't been reading the other threads...
Fabrication of the engine mounts is much more involved on an FD 13B-REW engine.&nbsp K2RD offers Cosmo engine mounts that let you practically drop any 13B or 20B Cosmo motor into the FC3S chassis.&nbsp I do not know of anyone selling pre-fab'd engine mounts that will let you drop in an FD 13B-REW engine into an FC3S - this means you pay someone else big bucks to fab something, or you do it yourself.
