I would get a rebuild, from the sound of it, a 20b conversion is over your head.

A little over 93k. It had been stolen before I bought it, so I don't know how it was taken care of. Then Ground Zero got it (they're who I bought it from, well a dealership where they had a shop so they worked on it), but lots of stuff they said they'd fixed were still really screwed up. They probably just made it so it would run so they could sell it. Oh well I love working on it so this should be really fun. I'm hoping to paint at least the engine bay while doing this and clean the s**t out of it too. I'll paint the body later when I get my spoiler and stuff. The outside just needs some touch-ups here and there. I was planning on doing this this summer anyways, but I was hoping it would last untill school got out so I'd be able to work on it during the week. Oh well, I've got spring break in a couple of weeks so I guess I know what I'll be doing



My dad's working on it while I'm up here at school, and he just called and said my turbos are toast. I'm getting about 1/8 inches of shaft play, so looks like I'm replacing those too. Does anyone on here know anything about the BNR Stage 3's from rx7store? I've searched but could find anything.



If I can find a scanner or a digital camera, I'll post some pics of the rebuild if anyone wants. Hopefully it'll turn out nice.

I have a set of Ceramic coated Pettit upgrades converted to non-sequential if you are interested. Oh yeah... with your mods.... you may consider looking into an ECU upgrade soon.
