Can be done bit of a job though, wiring loom is a bitch.

Hmmm, why exactly fo you want to use a fd engine in your car? If it is just a horsepower thing then all the fd guys out there are doing the kind of things that in theory could be done to your engine. i.e single turbo. aftermarket uce, bigger intercooler etc...

[Freddy]

its because I have a fd engine with a T88 turbo and dont know what to do with it

thanks for the replies guys

Put it in a better car!! LOL !! Why not go for something a little more adventurous like a Morris Minor or a Vauxhall Chevette

[Freddy]

Thats actually a good idea. I could only wish, it\'d fit in to my Honda Beat. That would have been way cool (and scary!).

[travellinbob]

so if you have a good set up fd powerplant to go into a fc does this mean that your fc engine is knackered? Why not bolt the T88 up to the fc engine? And keep the fd block as a spare, or sell it to finance more power:D ?

[Freddy]

Theres another idea. I dont have an FC with a knackered engine, but was hoping one will come up for sale in the next few months.

What kind of worth can be put to a 500 km\'s travelled fd engine with a new T88 set up, twin plated clutch?

Shit, don\'t sell it! Get yourself a nice FD with a blown engine and drop that badboy in there! Christ imagine the sort of numbers a well tuned T88 would put down, has the engine had any sort of porting done on it?
