It will be a street driveng car with some track days

list of parts allready here:

20b engine
aero motive fuel pressure regulator
mazdaspeed cromolly light flywheel
HKS intercooler
cusco roll cage

Parts to come:

13" big brake kit
microtech ecu
fuel rails and injectors
fuel pump
pulley set ( havent decided wich ones)

any advice will be greattly apreciated

Advice: give it to me please, kthxbye.

sounds like a great start!
good luck with the swap
:rock:

do the 20Bs there just lay there? or do you actually have to pay for them lol.

lets see some pics!

you have to pay for them :mad: , but they are very cheap here compare to the US :ylsuper:

Forgot my camara home, i'll take some pics tomorrow

I do suspect that DHMR is not going to like seing a cosmo in pieces :mad: but it was for a good cause :rock:

Talk to Cam at pettit I sure you can work something out

nice!! i look forward to see updates from you, if its you, i KNOW this car will get done, probably quite fast too RC? =d

well not really, Ive beeng known to leave some proyects without finishing them :mad:

but this one has being a dream for a long time, and since most of my other proyects are 90% done i figure, what the hell

just imaging a 500rwhp 2750 lbs FD :rock:

this is an old pic but the car still looks like that, I will make some changes douht

How much does it cost?? If you get a shop to do it, they charge 20 - 30 thousand !!!

Also how was your fd before the swap
everybody I know gets an fd, they break down after a week and cost 6000 to fix and rebuild.

My FD is one of the freacks that really dont brake down that much and when it does is something really simple.

I will be doing all the hand labor myself and a friend thats being doing rotary's since the 80's, most of the cost from shops is hand labor, 20b are not that expensive here.

some pics of the engines, the one im going to use for the swap its at the shop geeting work on

thats insane T_T i've always dreamed of an FD but a 20b is insane. my cousin in chicago is building an FD 13B but that 20b is sick. since you're aiming for 500whp i'm guessing you're sticking with the turbo? will it remain twin or will you change to single?

the reality is that the stock twins are good for about 400 rwhp, thats my goal right now, but the real goal is 600 rwhp with a single turbo set up, but let me say this 400 rwhp on a 13b will make a picky engine and not very relyable, wile a 20b will do this with 10psi of boost and make torque from 1500 rpms

so it is really a better street machine with the 20b

heyy rotary crazy, good luck on the project!! :rock:

Thanks, I got some updates of the engine getting prep, will post pics as soon as possible

I just got my sub-frame :rock:

This is cool, can't wait to hear your progress and see the pics.

pics of the engine getting some work done

beautifulll RC!

:Drooling_ Nothing more needs to be said. Good luck!

thanks guys, going to install the flywheel tomorrow and clean the wire harness

wating for the ecu and fuel system upgrades to drop the motor in the car, and the big brake kit is allready here :rock:

some pics of the flywheel, mazdaspeed chromolly

hey man nice project, can't wait to see it finished

i know what you mean about the 13B being peaky at that power level, the 20B has a pretty similar power band to an SR at those levels, but with less boost

thanks, is going to take some time for my next uptade, I just order the ecu since its a special version of it, it will take 6 weeks to get here :(

You are my hero. God bless you!

what ecu are you using

microtech LTX12

what benifit does it have over say the power fc which i know is very popular with FDs

the power fc uses the stock engine harnnes, I cant use it for the 20b

rotary crazy, Are you going to be using cermic seals or the standard Apex?

standar, im not opening the engine, I got it from a working car

yeah i know, i was just curiouse if it had any advantages

Bump

Things are moving very slowly right now, this is the part that I hate about doing proyects, parts take a long time to get here

I had to open the engine, one of the rotors was not showing good compresion and had some cooland in the housing :mad:

on another note Im going with a big single turbo, this way i will be able to make the power I want easier, and Im going to port the engine :)

Good luck!

turbo and manifold

I Just Got The Oil Coolers And The Intercooler

man this project is loco cant wait to see the finish project

sorry for the long wait for update's but work was crazy for some time

update:

Engine is painted, ported and back together

car is painted, with wider fenders, vented hood and new front bumper ( custom made) new leds tail lights, etc.

ETA for the entire proyect is before december ends

pics latter in the week :)

Good Luck RC..
Keep us updated!

Will do, Thanks!

right now I am undicided what to do, a new race track has just being built in my town, I have the oportunity to get an FD rolling chassis really cheap but if I beging to put a race car together I have to put the 20b FD on hold for a while

I used to have an FC race car and sold it about 3 moth ago :( a couple of weeks before they made the building of the track public

good shitto man!! cant wait till its done
