Re: FD enigne swap

the easiest and cheapest would be a turbo TII, 13BT motor from 87-91 FCs.

the next would be the Cosmo 13B-RE motor. but you'll need custom motor mounts and some wiring work done. probably wont pass CA emissions.

most expensive is the crazy Cosmo 20B tri-rotor motor. Lots of custom work. Pretty expensive. Makes good power used in a turbo or n/a setup.

You can always take your current n/a and P-Port the hell out of it. Will sound crazy and loud. Lumpy idle and revs very high. Will need complete rebuild with some kick-ass seals.

Re: Re: FD enigne swap

get a cosmo 13b engine, its twinturbo, got larger intake port than a 13b-re from an FD, but with smaller exhaust port and smaller turbos. engines are sold for 1.3k cnd arround here, a friend of mine bough one and putted it in his Fb, hes currently doing the haltec wirering. beside the cost of the haltec, and the engine, and the cost of a t2 tranny and rear end, and the cost of the tuning, and a FMIC, i dont see where it would be costly to do this swap

and a kick ass rebuilt every 30k, plus some kick ass tuning with a kick ass standalone or a kick ass carb.

good idea, unfortunately we have gay mod's that never come to our forum so we suffer by answering the same questions over and over

Re: FD enigne swap

check out the price of the engines, add 800$ for the haltech, another 200$ for the tranny, 150$ for the intercooler, another 150 maybe for the pipping, a nice 500$ for a good catback and the rest of the exhaust, 250$ for the engine mounts. 200$-300$ for the T2 read end, but you can run the car with the n/a assembly. you'll need a vacum hose job done, and some tuning, expect 400$-500$ for both, then add some gauges. expect some sleepless nights and headhache.
keep some money asside cuz you never know what could happen.


i might forget something..
