I had no idea where to place this post so I'm asking here. What exactly is needed to drop the 13BREW into the 1st Gen. Motor, ECU, wiring, maybe tranny?, driveshaft? Basically, I had planned a bridgeport 12a project, but after hearing the RXecret7 owner's 3rd Gen, I was hooked on 13BREW's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I seen one in a 1gen at the local strip.



I would assume, the whole engine and trans. Get a an aftermarket ecu (haltech) would be the easiest way with a single turbo. Would have to change the front cover of the engine to a 1gen front cover so you can use the stock motor mount location but modified for the oil return. Custom IC. Custom Driveshaft.



The car I saw at the drag strip ran 10 sec. very fast.

You can make a cradle to accomodate the FD motor mounts.
