on 13B - alternator, UIM, TB, torsen LSD, corner seal springs
on 20B - alternator, rotors and housings, torsen LSD, corner seal springs

I guess everything else is useless

+1 for corner seal springs (seems to be most popular)

+1 for fd rotor housings

-- FD single long(ish) turbo manifolds work as long as they set the turbo forward. The one that 100% does not work is the HKS cast iron FD one.

-- FD Power FC works if you get the adapter kit

-- FD OEM boost control solenoid if you control boost with a standalone

-- FD UIM, TB, TPS, BAC valve--the whole combo as an assembly

-- FD wheels if you have a spacer

anything interior wise wouldnt be worth it, youd just be redesigning the interior. although i could be wrong
and the tranny runs into an issue with the type of slave cylinder i think i read

arghx

iTrader: (3)

tranny won't work. it uses a pull-type clutch with a different slave cylinder design

Tranny will work with enough modification. I know its probably extensive but its been done. I can give you the forum name for a guy who did it if you're interested.

No. Use the search to find more info about the swap. From all of searching I've done, my conclusion is that I think it's just fo sho. A ported stock uim will probably yield the same results. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been looking for the infamous 'spacer' for FD UIM > FC....

I think that it's a term that people are slinging around for when they just port the IM and off-set the bore of the UIM to match the studs of the S% LIM.

I have 3 sets of all the above and NONE of them will pin up, regardless of porting.


I've looked for the past week and no one actually produces it, as I've found so far.
