The White RE Turbo 2 Race car?

Does anyone know what plates and porting the used to build this car?

I dont know if they used FD plates and Manifold or FC plates and adapted the Manifold to fit?

It has been somthing that has bugged me for quite some time i would be gratfull if somone could enlighten me.

Thanks

Chris

Ok, I know this sounds sad but i've watched the Video over for the last hour and i'm sure the Engine Mr Amemyia is building up is a FC T2 Motor.

I can tell becouse of the Small hole under the Secondry Runners (water outlet to the manifold) the FD one is level with the bottom manifold bolt where as the Fc one is half way between the lower bolt and the Runner.

So i am sure the Plates are Fc so it means the Lower manifold is Fc.

All is well as long as the Engine being built is the one fitted to the car (secrets and all)

Cheers

FC engine-

Watch as they lower the engine into the car, you can see the engine well and its stock aluminum engine mount off the center iron oil pan area...

Video OPTION volume 92

BTW the Yellow Panspeed FC is faster than the white RE Amemiya FC and cooler as well. Seeing that video and the Panspeed FC was the inspiration for my project and a large part of why I did the Horizontal Mount IC.

Didn't RE-A use a horizontil mounted intercooler as well Ian. And does anyone know what turbo they used on the RE-A car?
Plus, you have to PM me when you pick up the hood from Dltreezan.
And is the option volume 92 just the RE-A car, or is the panspeed car on it as well?

RE-A car does have things moved about under the hood, but it appears to have a larger radiator moved to a vertical position and a front mount IC w/ shrouding in between.

The tape features the RE-A FC2000 build up and then they hit the track for "track attack" and features R32, Evo VI, JZA161, Evo VII, NSX, FD3s, Evo VII, DC5, S2000, FC3s, FD3s, R34, FC3S, NSX, S15 and AE86 all competing for fastest time around the Tsukuba Circuit.

It has featurettes on drift, drag racing, a trip to USA and the Bonneville saltflats 300zx TT.

Good video! (Yeah, I've seen it a few times...)

That turbo is td07 engine, the motor they show the guy building and RE turns by hand might not be the motor that goes into that car, it might belong to the guy with the killer pompador haircut, the comment in the movie is, "he works all day, and then stays late to work on his own motor after hours" or the centre plate appears to be FC, my translator seems to be changing her mind on what they are saying there... Its got FD waterpump and external drives on it, yet has a CAS, I can't make out the LIM and the fuel rail enough to tell if its FC or FD...max

Yeah, the white FC in the video definitely has S5 block and FD intake manifold.

When they show the engine being lowered into the car you can see it has the FC center iron and engine mount as well as the S5 lower intake manifold.

Further more, when they show the engine in the car the TB is almost directly behind the alternator, just as it is when you use the S5 LIM. If on the 13B-REW the TB is 3-4" further to the right since the REW LIM hugs the block closely and is nearly vertical off the engine. (I notice these things having done the conversion myself.)

Next, just before it does the track attack the announcer voice even states it has fd intake and the rollcall that scrolls up the page states it has 13B-T engine (and TD07 s25 turbo).


Now, the Yellow Panspeed FC is another matter. It has a FD engine and a T04SHFi (T04S Hi Fi?). You can see how the TB is more to the right of the alternator.

Also, the rollcall states 13B-REW.

This Panspeed FC has substantial alterations to the front unibody. You can't tell, but I wouln't be surprised if it had subframe alterations (FD subframe and suspension?). You can see how they welded in new wheel wells as well as outwardly flaring the fenders...

That REamemiya motor is an interesting Hybrid... I also notice the lack of an oil spigot which interferes with the FD manifold if you don't use an adapter that raises the intake... I am doing the FD intake adaptation right now, I am suprised they do not use a port adapter on that car, but being that it made 466 ps I am not sure I should worry about it at this point.
I notice though in Japan they pretty much call all 13b turbo's, 13bt's, so its sometimes difficult to go with what they put on the rollcall, but I have not seen the panspeed FC only their FD...I would love to see the vid if someone has it..
So the FD drives must work on a s5 block, with a s5 front cover, I am presuming??..Max

i thought the FD motor wasnt able to drop into the FC due to different mounting points? or was this some real badass custom work?

I would love to find out 100% but it looks like the Re car was a bit of a Hybrid, I know the ft covers (Water pump/Oil Pump) can be interchanged between the bt and rew

The only thing that gets me about that car is as its already been said if they where using a rew Engine why use a T2 lower intake?

My copy of the Video is a bit dodgy but i'm sure the Mount is still in the center of the engine, so the Center plate at least is a FC one.

there are TWO re-a white FCs now, one "street" car and one circuit car. The street version has the 13bt with the 13bt UIM etc. The circuit car is a 13bt with FD accessories and UIM. The panspeed car is a yellow t2 with an FD engine.

also i beleive with RE FC was only running enough boost for 350hp on the time trials, even though it was making 460hp on the dyno. I beleive the panspeed was making around 460 when it did its run. So who knows, cant speak japanese!
