Ok, this seems to be a good choice. Can someone explain to me good/bad of this engine. Is it the best 2 rotor engine? What kind of power could it max out to? Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

stock intake ports are better, but the stock exhaust ports are smaller. Not necessarily the "best" motor. It still displaces the same amount as any other 13B...just has different intake runner sizes.

yup jspec hit the nail on the head. you can port a cosmo engine slightly bigger than a rew... but not much

you have to mix and match to make an RE work... why bother if you don't have to

Like I said...just like any other 1.3 liter displacement rotary engine.



Are you talking about stock or ported? If your talkin ported, then the 13b-rew is just as good.

Yea, the REW is just as good, but isnt as easy to get into my FC as the 13B RE. Ans it will be ported. Is it just a waste of time? Should I just stick with a 13BT? I want a lot of power. Im going to start off easy with it, but def boost up to a lot more soon after. I need suggestions, info, anything you can tell me. (Sort of a competition with a guy with an R33 skyline)

the RE is kind of a half and half engine. Half 13bt and half 13b-rew
