Probably not, but the Intake ports are A LOT bigger.
Using the irons is the real benefit to the RE. Paired with the larger exhaust ports of the REW.
Wish I had the room to build a new motor... I've been meaning to do a build with RE irons and REW housings.

No need to swap rear Iron... It will bolt up to a Manul tranny.
Install FD throttle body, Its 2ndary plates are 5mm larger.
Swap front cover, drill and tap 2 holes for the front cover that don't exist on the RE but are needed to keep the REW front cover from leaking.
The studs for the water pump are different lenghts, swap for fd
Swap pan, drill/tap motormounts.
The RE intake runners are larger and way the port flows into the chamber in better.
The exhaust port is not any larger on the RE compared to the REW, its the sleeve, which needs to be removed and swaped for fd sleeves.
I have a RE in my FD. PM me if the manifold comes with it i might buy it.

Doesn't sound too bad but I sold the intake lol
Is this some sort of joke to advertise selling the core in the 3rd gen fourm?

Ok here's my problem, maybe you guys can help me out, I have a s4 rx7 with a 13b re motor in it, it recently blew so I decided to go with an 13b rew motor, now would the coil wiring be different on it, I looked online for people doing the 13b re swap in an fd, did they have to wire the trailing and lead differently? Idk I'm just confused lol, I hope this makes since to someone reading it!

I had a microtech and I sold it, so I could get the fd motor and got a really good deal on the power fc and could I still keep the fd harness if I were to do that?
