So the search for a 20b begins. I called atkins, since theyre local, and they have a 20b (just the block) for 3k, and with manifolds its 5k ... wtf is with that?! And they arent even rebuilt. So im now looking for a 20b WITH manifolds and turbos for around 3k or lower. Anyone have any connections or know good places to start? Ive checked the parts trader, ebay, local rotary shops ... im hoping maybe JT might be able to hook something up from japan. Or something.. *shrug*
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

I called and emailed lots of places. I also went through lots of old threads on various forums. Then when I finally found an importer with agood prices, I kept calling back every now and then. The whole process took many months (actually over a year, but yeah).

Mine didn't come with an alt or high compression. It cost me $600 before shipping, which is basically a core charge. I think some MMO will bring the compression back, but there's a chance it'll need a rebuild. I also have a spare FB alternator.

i paid 3800 from fc3s.org, but it was an impulse buy, that was the only one i found in stock. i found a couple in japan, and a couple on a boat but if i was gonna wait i would have just put the 13bt back together. mine came with the ecu and coils, but thats not quite enough to make the stock ecu run, and the stock coils will only work with the stock ecu
