I'm a little new to the 20B engine. I have one lined up to put it into my S5FC. Should I put it in the FC or get a trashed FD? I also want to put a 6spd RX-8 trans in with it but I have no clue on if it will hook up right

at the end of the day it comes down to you, ya can put it in an fc or an fd, what ever ya bank account allows, dont think the rx8 boxes bolt up but ya could get an adaptor plate made up for it....then again a s6 box bolts up nice and easy, all depends on ya financial state really, im running an s6 box and havent had any problems

The 20b will drop in nicely in an FC easier than and FD. Like he said, how much money to do you have or how good are you at fabrication?

And survey sez that motor will probably splatter that transmission.

Precisely. They were having problems with just the Renesis alone, and the 20b makes more HP at the flywheel than the Renesis.



It really all depends on your bank account, time, and how committed you are to the project. Good luck.

Well let's just say money is not a factor. I'm not saying I have an endless amount but I think I have enought to spare that $ wont be a problem. I have all the time in the world when it comes to this car. Well me personally, I'm not a great fabricator but I got a buddy whos a magician with almost anything. lol. This is my project car really. I mean I have had it since I was 14. lol I upgrade it a little bit at a time to where I have a sick 13b engine in the garage but I want 3 rotors. lol Also what turbo should I get for the 20b ( I want a big one but not so big to where it spools up around redline)

hsmidy 04-07-2007 11:40 PM

a good turbo would b a gt42r, good all round turbo for the 20b

gt42r? I read something where that turbo is for drag. If so I kinda want to go a little smaller. I want a 10 sec street killer lol.

GT42r is the hottest turbo out there. Plenty of guys using them. I am unfamiliar with 20b's, so I can't recommend a good turbo for you.

20B_FCburner 04-09-2007 11:35 PM

I have seen on some sites the say garrett T88 turbo but I don't see any GT42Rs. Is there any difference? If so then which one is better?
