FD3S Non Turbo Engine??

[shafster]

i was speaking to a mate of mine who is a breaker and he told me he had a non turbo fd3s engine in. he was confused as it was a non-turbo engine and he\'d not seen one before.

i\'ve never heard of this before either

so, does anyone have any ideas on whether the fd ever had a non-turbo engine fitted to any of its variants? i thought they were all twin turbo\'s

The simple answer is no.
The FC3S had turbo and non turbo models but the FD always came with twins

possibly, he said it had fd3 markings on it

There was an ReAmemiya FD which was for sale in the back of one of the magazines with the normal 13bRew in it but it was non turbo.  They are out there but never where standard of course :Giggle

Yes it is twin turbo (didnt I say that already?), the Turbos and control system are the same, but the engines are slightly different - what I dont know, apart from the exhaust ports.

Maybe other peeps on here can comment further....
