nah man..this is my baby....i am wanting to do a 20b swap myself but not sure yet......i have seen the pre-fab motor mounts on rx7store.com....i think that seems to be the headache for everyone...





i have known dragon (chris) since 1997... i was stationed over in okinawa form 1995 to 2001 was in his car club.....he is a really cool dude and knows a shitload about cars......

None availible at least not here in Okinawa...



and No you won't need a harness, but you will need at least 5k in other parts after you've gotten the engine and computer system...

you should convince Beau to sell me a 20B. Then you should try to make me a subframe for a good price. Then I'll steal your stock 20B map from your microtech.

dragon,



i saw a complete 20b on ebay for 2500 bucks...but the auction has no pics....im still debating the swap, i just want to get all my ducks in a row before jumping into something like this. and i figured you'd be the guy to go to.



i already have a S4 13bt sitting at my house that i bought..i thought about sending the housings to mazdatrix and doing a bridgeport on it...





well when i get my tax return in my account i will start deciding. a few buddies of mine work at a tuning shop in town and the owner tunes rotaries and he has 13re in his fc....



well when i get my 3k tax return ill see what happens



oh check this out...im going home to cali tonight ....and there is an autobacs in southern cali....kinda wierd



later

trevor

Much Much easier labor wise to put the 20B in to a FC than a FD, but it still expensive.. especially when you get to trying to put together some kind of clutch/drive line that will hold all the tork...

I was under the impression that the t2 trannys can handle the torque of the 20b's. Am I wrong?
