Turbo 20b Swap (No longer NA)

Updated 5/14/2019 -

Looking for a new eshaft. The original one is out of alignment, and in such a way that it cannot be straightened. This will not effect it's use, but the RPM limit has been limited to 8500 RPMs by Rick Engman. That doesn't work for the NA plans, so I need to find a new one.

MK3 MR2 Electric power steering pump - eventually. May end up doing it myself.

Sweet, I can't wait to see what your intake manifold(s) will look like.

I remember when 20B were only a few grand not too long ago on ebay. Now you gotta spend 7k, and not even be guaranteed that the motor isn't junk.

I bought one before when they were $3k. It was never delivered, and I never got my money back. This is why I went with Mazmart. They're on the shelf and it's a reliable company.

Really depends on the builder. he's not touching it till May, and doesn't expect it complete till June / July. I'll ask, but I don't want to inconvenience him. I'm sure he'd take a couple though.

Mazmart isn't doing the actual build. Just bought the block there. I couldn't afford Engman's time...

Considering how much you'll eventually be spending, why not drip a few more drops of blood into the pot ...

Rooting for you though, this is my dream build if my numbers ever pop up on the lottery ...

Some people might be curious about the rest of the car...

LEG Motorsports RX8-Vision carbon front bumper
Vertex Lang sides and rear bumper
Panspeed wide front and rear fenders
AutoExe SE03 hood
AutoExe SE02 duktail trunk
RE Amemiya carbon tail lights and AD Pro fender mirrors

Probably a couple more things before it goes to paint (after the engine).

Nice work! I wouldn't even want to sit in those and potentially ruin them.
