RE motor in a REW car. motor mounts.
need to put a re motor in a rew car. does anyone make custom mounts?? Thanks. btw i don't want to tap the rear housing for the rew mounts.
How many run re motors with port matched rew manifolds?? results?? any thing to compare with??

No not a caged cut up race car. My Idea is a no frills fun machine. The mounts can be solid.
The engine has a healthy street port. 10-15psipump gas(soon with AI and 20psi). gt35r. 3 inch exhaust, and other supporting mods. I have had the car like this with the rew and it was fun.
Now I copied the ports on the rew housings to my re plates but am using the same manifold/turbo. wondering how the difference in runner size will effect the engine. But need motot mounts to begin my testing. I have some pics of whats going on... gimme a sec

It's not a popular swap. I've only seen one or two people actually complete the swap. One of the cars was up for sale about a year or two so I don't know if he is still on the forum:

You have four options of which none you'll like hearing.
1. Drill and tap your current rear plate for mounts.
2. Fab up mounts for the RE mounts.
3. Use a REW rearplate.
4. Use a 1st gen front cover and front mount it.

have friends in a machine shop that can make me any thing i want. I wanted to see some pictures of how others have done it justs to get I idea( copy). So I could show the guys helping as well so they could c exactly what I want. Also I need to get a few tools together so i can mock every thing up and go from there.
The shop has 5 axis milling machines, water jets, grinders etc 60,000sqft. Last parts I saw them working on were for the f-35
why would I not like those options?? 1 gen front cover has a position for a magnetic crank angle sensor?? I actually have a front and center rew plate but no rear. I got no ***
I used the re as core cause I had a problem with a brass plug coming out of a oil passage and suddenly my motor locked up at 150mph... back end skipping across the road. Anyway, I used the re plates and rotating assembly. rew housings 2pice seals, 9 window bearings, oil mods and got crafty with the die grinder. Was under the impression that the Re's larger runners had greater power potential with the right intake manifold.

I took the paper cut out and measurements up to the shop. My buddy is going to write the programs over the week end. Monday maybe Tuesday I should have parts in hand, depends on what he has going on that day, post pics then. Oil pan brace is in the works to insure no leaks...I hope by the time I am done the motor won't move at all.
I am also going to have an intake manifold flange made. C how far I get with that. Is there any sort of atomizer for the secondary fuel inj like the primary has. I don't c 1
