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

 

well im going to use a PFC. will the stock FD OMP still be useful for a car set up to make 380-400 hp??

okay. i have a tps off a FD and i might have the intake air temp too..

thanks a lot .


BANZAI FTW!

 

We run premix on all of our high HP cars.

 

sorry for asking soo many questions, but would it be better to run pre mix in my case? im still pretty new to this.....




thanks

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...

 

^ you have me sold on the premix.

ive seen that there has been a lot of debate whether premix is better then the omp etc..


but after doing some more reading. ive decided im going to premix it.

thanks again every one.

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??

 

haha way to resurect a thread!

you should be fine btw...

 

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?

 

Jaime put this on hold.. hes too busy buying fenders and roll cages to work on the engine

 

anyone know the answer to this one?

 

yes.as long as your using the same trigger set up for that ecu it will work,doesn't matter what motor is in it...

 

oh man huge thread revival lol.

if any one is interested on following this build..

check out my blog www.projectfd.com/zero

plenty of pics and more on there.

 

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