Ok. The TT 13B didnt come in the second gens(FC), they came in the third gens(FD). As ive never done a swap im not really gonna be able to give you any straight foward tips. I do know that plenty of people have swapped the 13B from the FDs into FCs. I dont believe ive ever seen one that had kept the twin system, most go with a bigger single turbo, even those who have an FD. If you have the money and the time you can put just about any engine into anything. If its worth it or not is entirely up to you...personal preference. And ill go ahead and tell you what most people are gonna tell ya...SEARCH. Read the faqs and use the search button. Youll be able to answer alot of your own questions by doing that first.
Welcome to the club btw. Good luck and have fun.

read the faqs. I'm not an expert but the 13b-rew (FD motor sometimes referred to as 13btt) will not fit because of the mounts. you will need to do a lot of custom fabbing. you can go with the 13b-re cosmo twin turbo engine which would be easier than the 13b-rew. you will have to go stand alone with it. it's easier to just swap in a 13bt.

thank for the repleys. yes i have researched all the different motor see the stats. i just dont know the potential of the 13t. i know money can get you anything but like me and most people dont have the money 4 what they really want. i found the 13btt for $1600 motor tranny and wiring harness. and if theres fab required its not worth. i got hooked up, my buddy gave me a huge turbo all i need r the supporting mods and what these rotor can take. its a turbo off of a f-450 no staft play and leaks a little bit of oil. putting it on for fun see what happens
