Ok My project has changed a bit
Instead of using my FC S4 engine again
I will be using a 13B-REW Hybrid swap
At My Mechanic's shop I compared my ported s4 street ported side plates
to a set of ported S6 plates and the diffrence is HUGE!
No wonder FD's can make so much HP at lower boost levels then a FC
So I will be using S6 side plates and rotor housings and my S4 rotating balance, front cover, water pump housing etc
with a complete FD Intake Manifold and greddy TB adapter
theres very few of us FC guys with FD engines so it should be unique setup
I will update this thread as the project gets going
Will take some pics of the S6 vs the S4 engine ports tommarow
as for the mounting I will be using the stock FD motor mounts
and making a rear brace on the FC engine cradle
I already got some custom Top Feed fuel rails
I hoping to push 400-450RWHP @18PSI
coming soon (again) :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
87 TII
S6 Big Street Port Hybrid Engine
custom top feed fuel rails
850cc primarys
1680cc secondarys
SX F.P.R
Turbonetics T-66 .96
Turbonetics RaceGate
Custom tubuler manifold
Microtech LTX-8 ECU
HKS Race BoV
NPR Large FMIC
Profec B
custom fuel lines
so on...................

Well next time I blow the engine I'll consider some higher compression rotors
Here is the Pics of a street ported Series 6 Port and a series 4 street ported Port
That is my friends Vince's FD Side Plates
he is building a FC/FD Hybrid engine also
but with High compression and will be using a Jay-Tech Holly Manifold
a Holly 650 and 75-100 shot of Nitros on a 88 SE
