I have an 86' n/a 5-speed. I'm not sure what model, but it has 4-bolt wheels. No power anything. The body is in perfect codition and I bought the car dirt cheap. Here is what I am wondering. I want to put a turbo on the engine. Instead of putting the turbo on the stock engine I have elected to put a new motor in it. I found a complete engine to put in it, but don't know that much about a jdm engines. The engine is a 13b RE-twin Turbo. What is the difference between it and the us engines, I have not heard of the RE part? What my question is will the motor mount up to the stock tranny, I know that my drivetrain is not heavy enough for the engine? I was also wondering what kind of ecu I would use? Would an ecu out of a 3rd gen car work? Also will the engine mounts be the same? Any information would be apprecited. Thank you.

damn

i dont even know where to start but your gonna have to change your drivetrain maybe your rear end if you want it to last, ecu, exhaust (downpipe no headers)

and this not even the 2nd gen engine

its 3rd gen unless they did some kind of setup

lots of a cables are gonna be needed and needed to be taken out



and youll prolly need an expert to do this and also...............



a lot of money https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

dude, that's a real nice engine...



You will need



Tranny, all rear end and driveline parts, computer... different engine subframe



and a whole lot of money and time



It's not going to be an easy transplant.. but will be damn worth it once done. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

this here is a cosmo motor...

not an fd...

you need all TII drive train. K2RD engine mounts, engine management system etc etc

whats the difference between cosmo and fd

So the new engine wont mount up to the n/a trany? will the tii drive train bolt in or will I have to modify anything, what are K2RD engine mounts, and where do I get them? Could I use the ecu out of a third gen car instead of a management system?

you need new everything...... don't bother unless you have alot of money, alot of spare time, and want a race car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

k2rd is the maker of the mounts. An na drivetrain can not take the power that motor will put out a tII can. The only way to run this engine is to get a standalone ecu or the stock one so to answer your question no a fd ecu will not work

where can I get a standalone ecu?
