You could probably obtain a 13b-rew for cheaper than a 20b https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png and alot of people are going very very fast on 13b-rew's. Parts for a 13b-rew will be easier to find in the now and future too, considering they have actually been sold here in a recent production vehicle.

@ Seppuku
The engine will probally be more than what you owe on the car.. 5-6k JUST on the engine... Not to mention all of the other aftermarket goodies you will need to buy .. How does a $1200. ECU sounds..well throw that on your wish list.. You will need a TII tranny... I dont think you will be able to do a 20B swap...even the more experienced guys knows its a bitch .. If you know what you was doing you you could rebuild your "blow engine" Your milage dont mean anything..I seen apex seals go bad at 60-70k I have heard people like j9fd3s Has over 200k on his first gens..stock.. Putting a 20 B will be a waste in a vert..remeber how heavy it is.. |
I remember when I first got my vert 7 years ago, I asked Kevin from Rotormotive how much time he estimated it would take to put "a twin turbo engine from a FD in the car", his response was "at least 100 hours of labor and more in research and tracking down parts, you will have to run the car with single turbo to make it easier, the ECU has to be addressed, alot of issues involved", well that stopped me from taking the project on to say the least, lol.

well $10,000 in parts and 300 hours of labor @$50 an hour comes out to a cool $25,000...

100 hours is bullshit. It's so easy to do if you know what you're doing. That was a while back when people didn't even do turbo conversions on convertibles. I have seen so many 2nd gens with FD motors, and none of them were too hard.
