Talking planning a 13b-re swap

well for starters im not doing this because i have a bad motor, im doing this because i want more power and the ease of the swap

ok i have a list of things i plan on buying and prices i have found for these items

1.) 13b-re $1400 includes engine longblock, ecu, wire harness andi think stock intercooler

2.) flywheel act 9.9 lbs at speedmachine for $250

3.) clutch act 6 puck at speedmachine for $350

4.) motor brackets and mounts and tranny mounts at banzai racing for $375

5.) radiator koyo s4 at speedmachine for $340

6.) spark plugs stock plugs $40

7.) spark plug wires mazdatrix wires for $50

8.) driveshaft cutom from mazdatrix for tII---n/a rear end for $290

9.) ecu microtech for includes flying lead wire harness $800

10.) transmission tII --------------$200???

11.) fuel pump ??? $120???

12.) egt guage $300

13.) intercooler $300

14.) ic piping and couplers (piping done by me) $150

well thats i can think of right now.

Is there anything else i will need to get it up and running on stock boost?

that brings me to $4165 prolly like $4500 after shipping.

My budget is $5300

You will need an Aeromotive or SX FPR with much larger injectors (1600cc secondaries, 850cc primaries). Larger fuel pump or 2, and of course the turbo , manifold, wastegate etc.

That N/A rear will not hold up to any real HP.

aftermarket oil pressure and water temp gauge..

also a stock re doesnt make tones of power, it has very restrictive exhaust ports. go with a small a/r on your single. i ran a 1.0 on my t04s and it was extreamly laggy unless your wot racking though the gears

well i prolly wont single it for awhile im going to run the twins in non-seq. which i hear works ok good unless i get fd twins and run them in seq. mode

but u was told that the re puts out 230hp stock where the fd made 255hp because of its better exhaust ports
