I want a 20b
somebody tell me how I can get my hands on a 4-rotor 20b engine. I learned that if you want a strong n/a car...you gotta go bigger. For me the 1.3 isn't big enough.

20B is a 3 rotor . 4 Rotors are generally purpose built drag motors .
How much money do you want to spend ? |

Check out the Internet. It's a plethora of information.
Internetz 26B is a four rotor like this that was in the Mazda 787B http://www.fd3s.net/787B/26b_3.jpg |
Yup, a plethora.
Why settle for a 20B? 26B FTMFW!!!.....variable length intake tracts!....dry sump! We have a saying in the Punjab - "Go large, or do not leave the house, bygolly!" ....and please come again! S |
I have a '69 camaro with a 468ci rat motor. My dad has a '67 camaro with a 505 rat. My friend has a viper twin turbo...extremely fast, but incredibly awesome. I've only been a passenger in it. I had a turbo supra. I was looking into getting a new car and I settled on an rx8 because I was fascinated at the 80ci motor that produced 230hp. I've raced a few people and they ask what motor do I have and I always say a 1.3liter. Then they watch my rear bumper and freak out. I've done some research, but obviously not enough to know a 4 rotor is a 26b and a 3 rotor is a 20b. I still have a lot to do. someone told me about bolting 2 engines together. I think the price I might spend on a turbo kit and do it right, I could possibly go bigger on the motor and still stay n/a. Some people like my father and hardcore muscle owners think power adders is cheating so I want to stay n/a and go as far as I possibly can. I just want some ideas and opinions on direction. I could just spend the money on an insane supercharger for the camaro and be insane with that but I like to take the unexpected and dominate. That's why it's so much fun to be different.

Call Mazsport.
They can do the swap for you on a 20B for I think $15,000+ Oh yeah, it will take about a year or 2 to complete. As far as a 26B the only company I know that builds them are in new zealand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au7F2ttEXWU The infamous 26B NA rotory. |
its a simpler route to just add a proper turbo system. first finding a company to build a 26b and install it with all of the proper additions to support the motor will be very very expensive. there would have to be a large amount of custom work done. if you have the cash by all means do it.
|
It's too much work man...Either turbo the 8 or dont do it at all. The 8 was made for the circuit track..not the drag strip.
|
What is with everyone wanting the 20B these days?
|
Forgt the rotary!
Drop in a 2JZ-GTE from a Supra Turbo & there ya go. It won't cost any more than the custom 3/4 rotor & you'll have the added benefit of having an engine that won't blow up easily. |
i'd like a 20b 4 rotor. 0.5 liter displacement per rotor? haha
|
most people think bigger is better but in this case its not,,,we did our 7s 20b and we are in it for close to 40k to do it right..
|
20B is doable but it requires a lot of time/money/and work.
Turbo is definitely you're biggest bang for your buck. 10K get's you 400hp at the crank with the Renesis motor from Mazsport. |
why stop at 4 when you could have 6...
http://cp_www.tripod.com/rotary/images/pg30_02b.jpg http://www.turborx7.com/images/repics/6-rotor.jpg might have some overheating problems to work out. |
You can put $20,000 in work under your hood in the 8 and still blow the doors off it in the quarter with a worked over domestic V8. It's not that kind of animal. Then again, you can roll one of those cars to a local auto-x and watch good drivers in stock rx8s beat them by seconds. Then again, anyone who had researched the rotary engine for even 20 minutes would have known a 20b is a 3 rotor.

I really appreciate the insight from most of you, I thank you for the info that I couldn't spend 20 seconds to find. Some people come off slightly negative so I think I'll take my membership somewhere else. I appreciate your time and answers, take care.

you got off very lightly - jeeez if you can't take a little ribbing you made the right choice to leave - bye . |
The reason some people came off as negative is that you're talking about a 20B swap, an insanely expensive and complicated undertaking, without being entirely sure exactly what motor it is. Just saying, if you display a little more of the basic knowledge you can glean on your own, people will be much more willing to help.

loling silently...
