First off, let me just ask, have you done the swap before, or had any first hand experience with it, or my swap mounts for that matter?




Yes I helped a friend do a REW swap into an FC. I also helped a friend put a 13B-RE into an FC. The RE is way easier, that is why I threw it out there.



Its not like I am taking away a sale from you, chill out.



Also, the TII is plenty capable. One of the local guys has an FD with an S5 TII block, S4 low comp rotors, TII LIM, FD UIM, single turbo, FMIC, Power FC and Meth injection. Puts down a reliable 400hp.



Nothing wrong with the TII engine!!!

and if i get the fd engine harness, ecu, and all the ignition and such i can use that instead of a stand alone. this is all just to get it going and usable.

You can use the FD harness and all components, but making it work with the FC dash is a little more work. Using both FSM's you can figure it out pretty easily.

Honestly... Take my advise, I'm doing the EXACT same thing your doing. What I'm doing is the easiest way I've seen to go about it, with the exception of cooling.
