mike

You have been warned.. Hmmm.. I should delete the pics I posted with me in them.. then I can creep up on you..

Your battery tray looks like a Special Ed. shop project https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Very nice j9, clean, almost like it should be there....almost

lol, with all the people doing 20B installs at the moment the 5000 total engines built inventory is starting to get depleted.. The cool thing is for a engine and car only sold in Japan most of them are ending up in the USA and AUSI... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

yeah i know, it really seems like theres a ton of em out there



mike

You reckon thats it? I know not many cars were built.

I wonder if there are any 'new unused' stocks like the S4 13Bt's a few years back.

Better gets me a spare!

4,000 total cosmos 20B cars were built and 1000 extra crate engines were also put together as replacement engines for those cars and that was it...

i know i havent seen one in a while on ebay. or maybe i havent looked hard enough.



your car looks nice by the way...

Thats why for awhile I was thinking of a 3 rotor 13b like the hitman uses.Easier for parts seeing as all 5000 motor will be in cars soon. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I needs to be gettin me one of dem crate engines!

There are NO MORE crate engines

You mean like the one I have https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif



A great find - "0" run time - never been lit. It is for when the original A Spec motor goes in the Cosmo. This crate engine is a D6xx !

Not just 0 hours, D spec as well https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Were you one of my Aussie mates I would call you a fuggin barstard.

Seeing as how I don't know you, I will be polite & call you a fuggin barstard https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

What's Dspec??

While I'm on it what are the differences between the different types of 3 rotors?

Essentially of the 5000 engines, they each had a 1000 block series. The first engines, as the one in my Cosmo is an "A" spec motor - among the first 1000. It has simply a three digit "serial" number stamped into the housings/plates. There is no actual letter. The next series was stamped with a "B" and three numbers, next 1000 with a C, next with a D. The original design - the "A" spec motors have been known to have some issue with eccentric shaft flex under certain boost condition (dialed up). Of course, with proper car and maintenance, a 20B can last for in excess of 141,000 km (87,000 miles), because my Cosmo still has the original engine.

Has a D prefix before the engine number...indicates a VERY late motor!

I believe (feel free to set me straight guys) updates were more in the correcting of issues that surfaced than anything else. I know A prefix engines had oiling issues and flog centre bearings & eccentrics. There may be other issues too, thats the main one as far as I know. This was fixed in B prefix engines. My C 6xx was the latest I had seen until this pic. I missed buying C 2xx in a clip on Friday by a few hours...!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

Yep. We did an unknown kms good compression A series 20B into an FB in 1994, running 10-12 psi & std terbs and a leadfoot driver. This guy was fairly unsympathetic, the car got serviced the same way a Camry might (ie when he could be bothered to bring it in!)

Rebuilt it last year, the centre bearing was spread & worn out completely. The E-shaft had visible scoring, but it turned out to be slight enough that it linished clean. So I guess really you could probably say that the B,C & D are more desirable but the early one will still do the job https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

banzai is my d659 hero

Sorry, I don't like you guys enuff to drive that far.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

where should this serial number be? I looked all over the housings/plates and can't find anything. The only thing that looks like a serial number is on the front side plate. There's a number stamped on the top, 100408. Is that it?

mines stamped into the top of each housing, maybe yours is a rebuild?
