Question about FD turbo on FC block

I have a quick question about installing an FD turbo on an FC block: Specifically, can it be done?

I know that you would loose the sequential setup because the FC electronics don't do that, but you could still run them in parallel correct?


Just curious. Thanks.

you can run non-seq.. its similar to a single turbo setup in principal

Most people would just run a TO4

Thanks RX-7Addict. I was just wondering why nobody ever talked about it... I know FD turbos are expensive and *probably* not as reliable as a T04 might be, but if someone were to get an FD manifold and turbo for a really good price it might be worth the time to install correct?

I'm also wondering about the plumbing... do the FD turbo oil and coolant lines connect in the same places as the FC lines?

I dont think the fd manifold will fit on the fc block w/o an adapter. The line u will just need adapter if there different sizes.
