I'd buy one in a heartbeat. That's all I've got to say. Fascinating, I know...

 

It's a very cool little car, and again, you should have just posted in one of the Kabura threads

 

Hey, are you following me around the board? You may be right of course. I check into the site a few times a week, always to see owner's pics...

However, one every few months I unload a bunch of posts on the discussion board -- I admit I haven't loked so much at existing topics...

 

Unfortunately, on the show circuit the Kabura engine bay was stuffed with a piston engine IIRC.

However, this car is probably built off the 8's platform and could easily be fitted with a 2 or 3 rotor. I would make big sacrifices if they'd turbo a 20B and price it some where in the low 40s. Four hundred plus horsepower without even trying; and huge aftermarket tuning potential!

Who wants to start a petition?

 

You're going to need a pretty massive petition. The Kabura is supposed to be a ~$20k entry level car. I doubt it'll have a rotary at all much less a turbo 20b. But we can dream I suppose.

BTW, this should have probably gone in the General Automotive section of the forum. Not the end of the world, but ya know, obeying rules is fun!

 

For the 58th time, a 20B/3-rotor engine will NOT pass standard emissions, so you would at least assume that Mazda won't put it into production.

 

So....when? How much potential is there to better tuning?

 

I think it would be far too cost prohibitive to put in a car that is supposed to cost around $20K.

 

You just said it will...

From every other post I've seen, any 20B would not pass emissions. What's the OBDII?

I mean, I do hope I'm wrong and I drool over the possibility of a 3 rotor, but I'd appreciate it if you could go into detail.
