fc engine swap

hi, i have an fc i got just a few weeks ago. and i was just wonderin if a 13b from an fd is gonna fit my fc. thanks for the help.

yea it can fit

:nono: A 13b-rew from a FD RX-7 will not fit into an FC without custom motor mounts, and other misc. work.

he didn't ask if it needed custom motor mounts, he just asked if it would fit... yea it fits

LOL, then so would a Chevy 350. :)

it sure could! but why would you want that trash in your 7? :)

I could fit a 3 wheeled hamster cage too you know :D

well, this thread is now officially a :1: thread :biggrin:

Yup it fits! Its a lot of work though. I addition to an engine cradle you will need a custom thermostat housing and you willl need to cut and reweld the waterpump outlet too.

You will need a FMIC and a stand alone engine management computer. The stock one will be a bitch to wire in and not worth the trouble. A TII tranny bolts up to the FD engine you need to use an FD flywheel and a FC clutch. The bell housing need to be shaved on the inside to clear the FD flywheel.

I have a FD engine in my TII. It was a lot of work but its quite unique. It makes lots of power w/o pushing it very hard, I am still tuning my engine. I have, right now, 290rwhp @ 10 PSI and we expect close to 400 to the wheels at 15 PSI. This will be a very conservative tune BTW. So I expect this setup to last a really long time w/o any problems.

Sweet! What was the $ damage?

Click on Garage profile in my sig. Keep in mind I spared no expense everything on this car that could be purchased brand new was done up.

ECU for example I could have went for a Wolf3D system for $1500 instead I spent close to $4500 for a Motec setup and I am not done I plan on adding a Stack unit (ADL) to it this summer. Stack unit = $3K.

Pettit Rebuilt on engine cost $4700 plus I had the tranny rebuilt to racing specs and the rear rebuilt neither the tranny nor the rear needed to be rebuilt I chose to make sure they were up to the task at hand I Autocross it and do open track days with it so I wanted it 100%.

I could have bought a used Viper of Z-06 for the money but they would not be as fast or handle as well. Plus I love the sleeper factor. Well, for now I am waiting for delivery of an RE hood and front bumper.
