i wnat to sell my fd (finacial reasons) and pick up a fc (s5 t2). but i don't know what to do with it. whether to mod the the t2 motor or to put in a 20b as a long term project. these are a few of the questions i am asking my self:



1 can you use fd housing in a t2 (because of the bigger ports)? would it be worth it? (obviously don't know much but willing to learn)



2 do you think that going for a 20b is realistic? should i just stick with the t2 motor and since i would have a good chunk a change with the sale of my fd, use it to mod the hell out of the fc?



3 will the fc have just as much or maybe even more potential than the fd?



4 these are the questions i am asking myself, especially 1 and 2 because i think just to have a rx7, whether it is a fc or fd is what i truly want. you know. i love these cars. and i especially love that fc i just witnessed in the video.



please help me decide. i do need to sell the fd and i just don't know what i want to do when i pick up a fc. and just so you have a number to work worth while your answering these questions and for arguments sake, lets say i am working with $8000 after the sale of the fd. i want fast, i don't care about emissions, i want to be able to drive it on the street (to hang out with and not as a daily driver), i want to drag it and don't care much for twisties, i want a good look (and to me that fc looks good and especially without the interior, i like that). i don't think the non-interior will work well with a fd. what do you think i should do?



this is the vid i am refering to (thanx vosko):

get a 13B-RE engine..... big ports, K2RD mounts. i sent you a PM already with everything you will need........ it will cost about $8000 in parts......

 

3. they wiegh the same, are about the same size, i think the fc has more potential

well FC = $1000 FD = $10000 for just the car..........

 

i favor fc's bcause of the price difference cpmpared to a fd, but the fd is prob the best gen ,my opinion anyways, they pretty much dominate every class there in at the track. fd's are sexy cars, while the fc is more muscle looking, looks almost intimidatng to say the least, who has a 20b fc? mike does! maybe i will someday? :twisted:

 

If your selling the FD for financial reasons, a 20b swap into a FC may not be the way you'll wanna go...Vosko's advice is best if you wanna do a swap...if I were you...i'd mod the hell out of the motor thats in the car, save whatever money is left, and spend it later on a rebuild...after you blow the t2 motor(ask Vosko about that too )

 

i blew a motor on a $500 car give me a break LOL

 

20b

 

Just mod the stock BT. It's a good engine.

 

mod the stock is the way to go. now i have to convince myself to get up and out to my fd to take pics. this is really hard. but the t2 will come out badass.
