13b rew in an FC

Raidermon · 01-22-2011, 02:54 PM

I have been looking for information regarding this swap and so far this is what I believe I've found. The swap can be done is long as you get new motor mounts and are willing to go buy a power FC and abandon sequential turbos on the FC.

Now this is my situation. I bought a 13b rew several years ago and may or may not put it in a super beetle (random I know). I have recently found an 89 rx7 with a blown engine, good transmission, and that is overall good shape.

My question is as follows. Is it possible to wire a stock 13b rew to the FC so that I can run the engine with it's sequential turbos? I don't really want to abandon the twin turbo or buy an expensive engine management system.

If this is possible, does anyone know how to start? Can I still have A/C (from either the rew AC compressor of the FC attached to the REW)? Has the swap been done with a stock ECU? or am I going to have to spend a small fortune to get a stand alone and a single turbo set up?

Please try to be nice as I find these posts often get a lot of hostility.
