BTW do a lot of research and expect a lot of work. It's not impossible but it's not as easy as the 13BT swap.

Go to the FOR SALE section and look for anyone selling a Manual tranny.

no. You'll need to fab oil lines, manifold and other crap. If you want a simple turbo swap then buy a turbo motor and swap it in. Another forum member has ADDED a turbo to the NA motor and I'm not sure if he recommends it or not.

I think using the search feature and reading the FAQ would benefit you quite a bit. I just don't want you to get into something and bite off more than you can chew. The 13brew engine swap is not a common swap into a FC, even if you have an adequate transmission. Though yes, it can be done. keep in mind you'll have the rest of the drive-train to consider depending on what transmission you chose. Diff, half shafts, drive shaft, hub conversion maybe? if you convert hubs to 5 lug.. rotors, rims, tires, calipers so on. could become quite costly.

My advice, take the time to do some research, then if you have any further questions, post them here.

Before you think of up'ing the power on your car, especially going turbos...

THINK ABOUT THIS.

Your non-turbo drivetrain is going to **** itself, cause it cannot handle the increase in power.
It's highly recommended to go with a Turbo II drivetrain so you don't have to worry about your transmission / driveshaft / rear diff / rear axles all snapping into a bazillion pieces (well, not exactly, but you get the idea).
So if you're serious about this, get all the Turbo II drivetrain parts and come back and ask us again later.

If you're asking how to turbo your car, STOP.
This has been asking a BAZILLION TIMES (not an exaggeration), so look at the FAQ stickies and read more / ask less questions.

Yeah a Turbo II transmission to say the least would be the best idea.

"An FC3S clutch can be bolted onto the FD3S stock flywheel if on a budget. The stock FC3S transmission should mate with the 13B-REW with very few problems; if the 13B-REW came off an automatic transmission equipped chassis, there is an extra bolt hole in the bell housing, which will not mate up with anything on a stock, 5-speed FC3S transmission. The FC3S starter should fit with little fuss."
from fc3spro.com

But then it'd probably also be wise to use a TII differential while you're at it.

How bout this, you take the parts, sell them, and then use the cash to buy an engine that is going to be an easier swap (the 13BT).
