Any1 here rich enough to try 20B?

I was wondering will it be better using 20b than use turbo, because its safer for the AT tranny and better throttle response no turbo lag and lots of power. and use Cobb to adjust the CPU

20b is a great thing but its not cheap for most people because there is a lot of custom stuff and there are a lot of other things that need to be done with it.

you just loosen two 10mm bolts, pull out your engine (yes by hand, its only 1.3L) and then lower in the new 20b. Tighten bolts, and off you go. 5 mins... MAX.

so educate an infant, I always here people refering to the motors by different number/letter combinations. Where would someone learn the different designations?

Oh, and I am crazy enough to try just about anything that would be a fun project and who's results make the effort worth it.

you know, it's really easy to make a 20B, all you have to do is study, but not quite hard enough, for most of your highschool days

Well I know the number has to do with displacement. The 20B 3 rotor, 13B series and RENESIS all have rotors that displace 654cc each I believe? Thus two rotor engines have 2x654cc = roughly 1300cc. The 20B has 3 rotors, 654x3 is a bit under 2000cc. The 26B has 4 rotors which must be roughly 600cc each. See the pattern?

ok,

lets get this correct. you are claiming 20b with turbo with auto.

on an rx8??? which auto?

btw, would it be different if it was a big sector of maryland???

first though would be pfsupercars. but they have had issues lately..

after that please give us some info.. because this is not a diy project, unless you have lots of friends in pr!

Also i'm not claiming to have a 20b in the work, it's a fact. I have some footage but i just don't know how to down load it at the moment but i will play around and get some video as soon as i figure it out. Engine is already in the car fab work for the turbo is what step there on now.
