Its really simple if you go with a aftermarket carb.I know this from experience.I want to sell this carb setup and try something different tho.Knowone up here will buy it tho because in the lower mainland of BC you need to pass emissions.Damn I want to sell it.Then maybe buy a holley setup.

If you need any info on the 13b swap let us know I can help you out on that.Looks alot cleaner in the bay and easier to work with too.

Depends on they year of the 13b.Heres what you need.....



SE oil pan and pick up tube,SE front cover and RB mount or SE mount and crossmember.Then pull the EFI off and get some Block offs from racing beat and run a 6-port carb setup.Then enjoy.

Wait, so why isn't it fuel injected, why carb'd?

carbs are simpler, you could do the efi, but its a lot of wiring

Are they're any advantages/disadvantages of turbocharging a FI vs Carbuerated engine, and did you swap in the 13B-REW or 13B-RE?



This is hypothetical, but it's definitely something I would like to do, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

well on an na the amount of power you want is dictated by the rpms you need to spin the engine to. stock ports will make peak power at about 6500rpms, and a 12a will make about 150hp (assuming free intake and exhaust), a bridge port will peak about 8500-9000rpms and make about 250hp. they both will make about the same amount of torque, 120-150lbsft. the turbo can give you 250hp and 200lbsft with stock ports, and driveablity, although it is more complex and more money

So do people normally (I use that loosely) put 13B-REW (The FD engine right?) into their FBs and use the turbos from the FD? That would be an interesting combo...

a turbo 2 engine is easier to put in, all you have to do is swap the front cover and the oil pan, the rew is harder

Either the Turbo 2 or lately the RE cosmo TT 13b has been the big thing in first gens.I hear the SE front cover doesn't mate up properly on the REW.This one is NA and see my new thread for my next swap.One huge turbo will make way in it after I nail the looks down on it.
