Waste of time...

For less money, you can get your own 20B with trans.

The cost to have a low tech 20B E-shaft machined is about half of what you would pay for a complete, low mileage 20B.

Guru in Austrailia makes aftermarket e-shafts for 20Bs www.rotorsportsracing.com sells them..





would still be cheaper to buy a low milage 20B than to try to frankenstein one.

Sort of like re-inventing the wheel, the origional seems to work just fine, why complicate things?

im not trying to reinvent the wheel here guys im just trying new things(for me). i think it would be fun to try. i have 2 completely dismantled 13bt engines. and a million extra parts around my shop and i wanted to try. i mean how hard is it really to put one of these things together out of stock parts?

thanx man. i know this topic has prolly been done to death but ive been trying to look up some solid info on this and i cant seem to find anything. i think we should all put any info we have into a faq or something. hell u never know some one might come out with a 2 rotor to 3 rotor kit from the info provided. then there will been a fleet of 3 rotor rx7s invading the globe and i will rule the world!!!! hahahahahahahaha!!!(insert evil cackle here.)
