We have a streetported 13B-RE with GT35R in our 91 Vert, no dyno numbers yet just got the engine broken-in, but it is a blast to drive. Our build wont help you with the FD install however. http://www.banzai-racing.com/br_projects_vert_pg5.htm

yea thats basically what i planned to do, i have the rew front cover, oil pan and pick up line, and water pump along with fd motor mounts for the new iron im going to buy.



i do have 2 questions.

1. should i run the FD omp or should i premix? (im still unsure)

2. are there any FD sensors that i need off the REW, that would need to be used on the RE?


thanks.

1. You can do either, it is really up to you and the engine management, with the PFC the option is your

2. Intake air temp needs to be used from the FD, the Cosmo has the FC style in the elbow, this does not read the same as the FD. The oil pressure sending unit, as the Cosmo doesn't have one installed. The whole solenoid rack is removed, so nothing needed from that. The TPS is different but can be wired in very easily.

That is all I can think of right now

I have always been thought the general concensus on the forum is that premix is ultimately better as standard lube oil is not ment to be combusted and produces lots of carbon build up when it is. So, if you dont mind the hassle/ added cost of premix I would go for it. One more thing to simplify on the motor also so working on it in the future will be that much easier. Just my thoughts...

I have a quick Question?

Couldnt you run Premix and the OMp at the same time? and keep it at 1/2 ounce of premix per gallon of Gas....

or would that be too Much Lube??

If you use the FD front cover can you also use the FD pulley and crank angle sensor? If so, would you then be able to use a ECU (i.e. Microtech LT10s) from a 13B-REW?

when you say trigger mechanism do you mean the crank angle sensors and corresponding pulley?
