im pretty sure 1 guy did it, but if your going thru all the trouble, just go for a 3rotor already, they make mounts for it so you dont need to cuztom anything up. There is a guy here that wants to buy my engine so he can drop it in to a FC and i told him he was nuts but its his money. It can be done but why not just port your currentn engine and stick a single turbo on there? im sure it will be plenty fast!

Good luck

I think he wants like $1000 plus shipping. Not exact on that. Damn bro, i thought it site was the easiest to figure out on the Planet. Anyway you can e-mail him at info@jt-imports.com

Its not on the site anywhere, its more like a special thing he can do for customers
