I plan to start my 20b conversion within this year. I have a couple more things to pay off and buy another car. Then its 20b time. But i should be starting in about 4 months.

I can get the engines in OK condition lots of KMs for around $1200 plus shipping so very close to $2000. just they are HARD to find for this price and they are even rare here in Japan too..

the engine was 40% of my swap cost (3800 out of 10k), its by far the biggest part

Anyone know if it's possible to get a 20b without a turbo? I'd really like to see a naturally aspirated one... I was finally thinking of getting an RX-7, but I want to keep in NA. It's just a personal preference.

they only came stock with the twin turbos. you can pull'em off and throw them in the trash though

Seems a shame, but I guess I'll do it. Which brings up a question: Is there any difference in what you need for installation if you're only going to have an NA 20b instead of the previously posted items for installing to 20bTT (as shown in the quote):

well for the fc you need, motor mounts ($199.95!), giant radiator ($400), intercooler ($900), clutch & flywheel ($750-2000). if you want a big single turbo that needs to be added in, as well as an engine rebuild/porting if you choose. you also need an ecu ($750-8000), and misc ic pipes, fans wiring etc.

Oh, and one more thing: Without the turbos, what would I need to do to pass emissions?
