13b-re cosmo twin turbo vs 3 rotor 20b
im planning on buying a wrecked Rx8 from a friend it jus has some minor body damage and a blown engine. but thats not my problem; since it has a blown engine obviously its gonna get swapped but i really am stuck because i cant figure out which one would do me better here are my two options 13b-re cosmo twin turbo or 3 rotor 20b???
Any help will be appreciated Naldy |
I'm also interested in this, but slightly different
13BREW vs 20BNA Bridgeport (or 3 rotor renesis NA setup if a kit is made soon) which would have the better fuel ecconomy? |
If fuel economy is your worry, then you need to stick with a stock renny
|
fuel economy is not a major concern, as the car will be a daily driver and the cost of fuel then i'm interested to know which of the two motors would use more fuel

Drops to around 12lt/10km. Highway cruising On average, a JC Cosmo with the 13B-REW option gives 15lt/100km city + 11lt/100km Highway. If you are interested in 13B-REW power (logical choice) then get the FD RX-7 version rather than the JC Cosmo version as the FD engine is better suited to a higher revving application. REgards |
The 13b-re is a fairly nice fit, thats what I have in mine. It will take some engineering either way, neither drop it. I wouldnt keep the twin turbos, go with a single instead. You should be able to get a solid 350-450hp depending on boost, as long as you have the fuel system to supply it.

We could always use more sexy 20b's around here :)
|
fuel economy wont be a problem.
Im 17 and im studying mechanics in my school; an Rx8 with a 20b twin turbo seems to be a good idea since everyone will be doing honda civic's or crx's. |
17 huh, That's a lot of money to be invested in a swap for only being 17...
|
theres no reason for twins except bling. and having that bling will cost you in: parts cost, complication, and eventually maintenance

a 20b with tranny in puerto rico is about $3600 and all the other things will round up to atleast $25k so 2 years of working and saving up got me up to $31675 i think that will be enough and correct me if im wrong |
Shoot, if you got it, then spend it. There are a couple 20b's floating around here, PM RGonza or angelJoelv

Ricer like me? lol. I prefer the 20b but change out to a single turbo if you want more power. Stock twin turbos arent reliable when you up the boost. Let me know if you do this that would be great. I was saving money for this swap also ,but shit happened and i basically lost most of it. So i gave up. What type of program are you going through for mechanic school? Wonder if its the same as the ones here in california.

Now that I see you are in Puerto Rico, the swap wont be an issue....its like a rotary mecca there.
|
I think you can use the stock tranny just reinforce it. Stock tranny should fit the 20b , if i remember correctly >_>. How much power are you aiming for? You would probably have to replace almost everything lol. I wouldn't spend 20k+ on a 20b swap unless i was aiming for high numbers , or else to me its not worth it. Oh yeah and i mean pump gas reliable power.
