20b Engine Questions?
 

hey guys, so im been waiting to put one of these motors into my car for a while, and i think this winter i will be doing it, just doing my book work now before i start i guess.
would my 6speed rx8 tranny bolt onto the 20b block?
and what kinda problems has guys run into doing these swaps?
any info would be helpful
thanks

search ;) ... been discussed to death here

if you're gonna do it this winter, you either need to go back in time 6 months and drop the car off at one of the few places who can do acceptable work for suchs a project...

or go back in time a few years and begin learning all the fabricating skills needed. because thats how it will happen. either you do it all yourself, or you give the car to a shop for 6 month-1 year to have it done. and be prepared to spend $25K+ to do it right

Yay another 20B-gonna-be thread.

Why does everyone keep saying search? Have you used the search function lately? I just did a search for the 20B just for shits and giggles and the first thing it found was a 160+ page thread titled St Louis area 8 owners. IMO the search function on this site is useless.

The information is on the site but its going to be a pain in the ass trying to find it effectively. Its scattered across different pages of different threads all over the place. Best bet would be finding out who's actually done it and contact them. Good hunting.

Lol Icwutudidthar.

search for ANGELJOEV... like mentioned above in some vertical fancy smancy crap that i dont know what it is... :banghead:......

Just a friendly google search tip for any site you want to search: use the "site:" keyword.

Example:
site:rx8club.com 20b swap

Given my limited grasp of the english language that is the best i could do to say "Those that dislike the 20B would prefer a V8 swap". Sorry for the epic fail :wallbash: but I tried my best....

A little cryptic, but I got it yiksing.

OP: There is a lot of work to be done. If you are doing your research now, you'll find that using the stock 6 speed will be a waste of your time. Others on here have gone through quited a few of them already. Start ahead of the curve and have a t-56 built up and ready to go at the very least. You'll have to do a lot of custom fab and pretty much make your own bell housing for it.

This project will go the same place as his location.

LOL, hey you never know

Crap... can't get "Enter Sandman" out of my head...
