13B-RE turbo set up

ok some of the guys and i bought a 13b-re to drop into a 90 gxl that already had a t2 swap, the t2 blew so we decided to upgrade, anywho we odered the mounts and did some reseach on this CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, 2 things first id like to be sure of this, from what iv read in this forum iv seen that the s5 t2 ecu and harness can run the 13b-re baby, now only problem will be the sequential turbo system would have to be modified. now hear me out, if we go with a single turbo set up, we will need injectors, fuel pump and of course the fuel set up (pressure regulator, high flow fuel filter and etc.) with the fuel management while running with the s5 t2 ecu and harness we can control the fuel with a super afc that we have now , will this work out for now????
secondly, where can i find a good turbo manifold and downpipe for a single set-up??

I have a 13b-re/rew (hybrid) swapped into a 90 GTU.

though you can use a T2 ecu with a 13b-re, its not a good idea. my advice is upgrade your ecu first.

The 13b-re turbos, NS off a haltech e8 made 260 WHP at 9 PSI (all it would hold through 6K rpm.

Now I am running REW twins (much more powerfully too), the re twins ate the turbine shaft nut because I was consistently pushing them to 15+ PSI. I would have a 60-1 or maybe a GT35r but I live in California and my car must be at least quasi smog legal (or it looks quasi smog legal anyways).

As for the haltech, they are fairly user friendly, but you should get someone who knows them to help you.

first of all an re swap demands a standalone ecu..there is no other than a good old haltech..
all so what numbers are you trying to see??

that should be good for starters...

i have an RE on my 10ae, its in the making, with a large streetport with a gt35r or a gt42r..
