well someone brought up a good point to me
being as doesnt the 2nd turbo kick in after 3-4500 rpms? sorry im not 100% sure where would the flux of revs have the turbos constantly going back and forth?
but if the re is a better choice i wouldnt mind going that way i

Note: I have full suspension on my car as well.
Do your homework and you will decide on yourself which application will suit your needs and budget.

if it were me id say go n/a 13b, gut the interior, get the typical performance mods, beef up that suspension, etc etc
plus getting the fd motor i dont believe its a direct fit so that cost you a little bit more, plus that twin turbo business thats $$ right there

Neither...
In fact, sad to say, this is where a normally aspirated engine would make it easier to drift.
Since the chassis and weight likes around 300 - 350hp at the wheels, a *SIGH* V8 swap would be more efficient...
(I can't believe I said that...)

so as not to be off topic, build a reliable motor and dump all your time/money researching suspension

It's simple. Drifting is the easiest when you have an engine setup capable of generating lots of midrange torque.
Assuming you have the suspension for it, the setup that generates the highest, but most linear powerband in the midrange is the one you want to go with.

ok i guess i will rephrase the question sooo i can consume some info
who uses a 13bre engine in their drift set up
have you had a t2 prior?
basically i just want other peoples perspectives on the 2 engines
i know its not mainly about the engines and more the suspension
but aside from that im just not all 100% on the engine swap i want to do
and i just want to make sure i do the right thing for the drift specs

Throw any 13b engine in there, get a fast spooling turbo so you can have a broad power range, and go drift. Time on the track will help you more than anything. I have drifted a s4 t2, s4 NA-T, and 13b-re, it doesn't matter.
