20b turbo in a Mustang.

Awesome!

UHHHHHHH I dont know what to say....well, its a sleeper..look at his ugly ass "race seats" and rims..haha

What does this do to the balance? With the huge weight of the piston engine off the front, does he have to put in a load of bricks as a counter weight for the big back end? How about handling?

What is the actual weight difference? Remember, he installed a 20b turbo. I bet the weight is closer than you think.

If this thing shows up to SS9..... :ftw:
:flamed: :ar: :rl: :rl: :rl:

Does this mean the mustang can finally turn corners at over 15 MPH? :Eyecrazy:

dude those puerto ricans are awesome with the 20b swaps

plus i love the racing beat licence plate frame

Id drive that mustang... and thats saying alot. Not a big stang fan, but this one is schweet.

Ahhhhh... okay questions.... Did somebody bomb Puerto Rico with 20B's?
Did Mazda just start sprinkling 20B's on that island for some reason?
I thought 20B's were becoming fairly rare? Puerto Rico has so many of them they stuff them in Mustangs? Is there a V6 shortage there? Do 20B's grow on palm trees? Does the ocean current drag them in, and Puerto Ricans find them on the beach? From what I can tell, there are more 20B RX8's on that island than Renesis RX8's.

If he replced a 3.8 V6, the 20B would be heavier and further forward. If he replaced a 5.0, the 20B with turbo would be heavier than the V8 AND more weight would be forward of the front wheels. If he replaced a 4.6, the weight would be about identical but ALSO more ahead of the front wheels.

In either case, balance would be worse with the 20B. Handling woul be identical to any other Mustang using the same suspension.

I personally would rather see it in a '65 Mustang fastback. ;) Those start out weighing about the same as an FC RX7...

People will be behind him and go WTF.......... is that sound!

Its a cool idea, but completely useless for practicality.

Oh the humanity ,,,what a waste of a perfectly good 20B

Shouldve swapped it into a FD... fail :(

Thats because its hard as hell to run it legally within the US. in PR no one gives a rat ass about the emission or whatever.

Hell if theres no EPA, I'm sure Mazda might have to reproduce 20b due to high demand !

I wonder how many FD owners approach that guy pissed off about his Efini badge in the front, saying he doesn't deserve it........... untill he pops the hood. The biggest way to annoy Americans would be to race a full fledged redneck in a red, white, and blue Mustang GT, win, then tell him the engine is from Mazda........ and 1991. HAHAHA............. Maybe then America would see more Rotary cars as our "performance loving" citizens would have a fanbase seeing their beloved V8 fall.

Man, what a waste of a 20b. That's like making dog food out of Kobe beef.

I am going to say it just to defend a fellow Mustang.

What a waste of a Mustang.

There.....I said it. Didn't really mean it because it was a V6 stang which is barely a Mustang anyway. Had this been a GT this would have been a huge waste of a Mustang :)

:soapbox:
I can already hear people yelling obscenities at me through their monitors :spew: ... but the rotary engine is not the end-all-be-all of engines. I'm as big a rotorhead as most of us here, but c'mon there is certainly something to be said about big beautiful V8's right!? :sadwavey: You can't make every car better by putting a rotary in it....

Best Way To Fix A Mustang...
 

LIGHT IT ON FIRE AND BURN THAT FUCKER TO THE GROUND!!!! :FIREdevil

BUT TAKE THE ENGINE OUT FIRTS!

you want to know where they come from? HERE!

the laws in Puerto Rico makes it hard to import use engines directly from japan so they buy them here, I have seen containers with 6 or 7 20b's all pre-sold to puertorican's, just yesterday a friend sold a 2002 13b REW complete with ecu and electrical harness

I have 2 20b's right now :cool:

Yeah I forgot to mention that along with mailing me the engine before you light it up!

How much are those 20bs going for with the harness and all? P/M me if you can't discuss price here.

if the Puerto Ricans dont have then pre paid you can get a complete engine, harness all accesorys for about $3500 ( I got one for 2,000 about a year ago) but most used engine importers dont sell them to Dominicans :mad: because there is an agreement with them, they buy all the rotary's the importer can get, I have seeng a couple of truck full of rotarys getting on the ferry
