that is a 3 rotor 20B. Beautiful! Where is the car? I am guessing the states looking at the configs under the hood. Outstanding!

thanks for the reply, i myself was amazed on its car engine set-up. This pic was taken from racing beat photo gallery, so I'm assuming the car is in California.

Looks like Acosta's 20B setup.

This car was photographed at our Racing Beat open house the day after the 2003 SevenStock event. At the time, the car was still undergoing construction and was not completed. This car was indeed owned by Acosta Motorsports.

More recent pictures have the Mazdaspeed body kit (or one like it) with an intake hole in the front bumper. Its too bad, I was hoping there was a second such beast in the making!

Just for an FYI I just went to the SEMA international show in Atlantic City and I talked to the owner marcus. He said that they just put a new turbo on it and it is pushing more like 900 to the wheels. I'll attach a picture of the change as soon as I download the pictures from my camera.

Hm, I've seen a dyno of a 1200+ RWHP Supra... Not saying that more hp is faster, but still...

There are even customer 4 rotor engines. 3 rotor was produced by Mazda. 4 rotor is custom. Check out www.4rotor.com .
