fd exhaust manifold for fc?
i found fairly nice twin turbo i want to use, but would the fd's exhaust manifold fit onto the fc's exhaust port?
i'm just thinking that it would work, but what can i say.. i'm just thinking that they are both 13b's so it would work. what's the answer to this guys? got 1 hour left

If you make a spacer, you can fit the turbos onto the engine (assuming we are starting with a TII engine). However they need to move out about 2", which means that there is now virtually no space to run a downpipe between the turbos and the frame rail.
And keep in mind that the FD turbos were junk from the factory. Any set that is on eBay is probably going to be worn out. It's normal for them to die within 50K, though some sets last a lot longer.

Wait, you want to throw on a set of stock 13B-REW twin turbos?
Those things aren't worth crap.
Even the FD owners throw them away and go single turbo.
Dude, you got bent over if you paid over $100 for them.
Hell, I got a set of Cosmo twin turbos just laying around just rusting away...

you should have searched....
it would have saved you a lot of money and time.
if you're starting with an na motor, you should just resell em and look into what has been done already with turboing an na, since you obviously have no clue what you are doing.

On a somewhat related note, let me attempt to redirect the focus of this thread. I've heard of many people buying a racing beat flange and using it as a spacer between FD single turbo manifolds and FC blocks. I was considering doing this because there aren't an abundance of well-made T04 exhaust manifolds for FCs without paying out the *** for a brand new custom made manifold, whereas there are quite a few lightly used HKS and GReddy tubular manifolds made for FD's that I see for sale quite regularly.
So my questions are, would i be able to fit something in the neighborhood of a PT67 or a T04Z on an FD manifold while using a racing beat header flange as a spacer, without having the turbo hit the LIM? And also, when using the racing beat header flange as a spacer, how many gaskets do you need to use in order to get it to seal effectively (one on either side of the RB flange, just one on the block side of the flange, or one just on the manifold side of the flange)?
I know this would probably be better placed in the single turbo section, but I figured that this thread is already here, so there's no sense in making a new one. Thanks for any input guys.

Using the RB flange as a spacer introduces a new problem...
The current studs are not long enough for proper nut engagement.
Nut...engagement.
That just sounds nasty.
Anyways, you'd need to extends those studs - EXPENSIVE.
