13B RE swap.

Ah cool, should have looked a little harder. I always thought the 13B-RE was the same as the 13B-REW out of the FD? Is there any differences there? Seems like all that has to be done is really make up some engine mounts which won't be hard.

Engine mounts are different.
They are both twin turbos, but the sizes are different.
Downpipe flange is similar, but the FD 13B-REW has one extra bolt / hole in it.
Water pump + housing is different.
Cosmo 13B-RE has exhaust port inserts in it.
Cosmo 13B-RE only comes with auto trans.
