Hi, i a a n00b when it comes to rotarys i currently own a torana LX, and i want to be difernet so i am looking at puting a 20B in my torana, my car is a 26 Yr Old aussie Muscle car BUT i want to be pulling 10's now with a turbo 6 or a supacharged v8 it just is not possible to be pulling 10's AND have it as my daily driver

SO i turn to rotary's and be diferent from every other jow blow, now i figer a 20B would get my doing 10's if not faster my car weights 1200KG as it is at the moment, and it is currntly running a Hot 6 but it would only get my down the strip at high 14's max, that is just tooo slow for me, so is a 20B the right thing to be looking at?



attached is a pic of my car

 

Possible, Yes, but very expensive and you would have to start from scratch. Engine, gearbox, diff, suspention and a hell of alot more stuff. Worth it, NOOOOOOOO.

 

ok well can you tell me the pros and cons on why it would be so hard to put a 20B into my torana i dont see of it being too mutch of a problem

the drive line from tranny back it geting replaced and all my braking system and my suspention, but i was going to do thiss with having a 20B as my engin in mind so that all i would have to do it bolt the engin and tranny in hook up all the wiring and walla,

 

You need to move the engine mounts back, and what box/diff are you going to run.

 

supra turbo box i was thinking

 

I think you should just sell the car and buy a 20B cosmo. Be realistic, sure you want to be different and stand out from the crowd. It's going to cost a lot of money to set the thing up. Then when it comes time to sell it, who would want a Rotary powered Torana. No Aussie's I know. They would all be looking to buy something with a V8 in it.

 

well i dont care about when i want to sell it, i want what i want who cares about any one elce :P



but i dont see it as being so costly like, once i get the **** done that i alreddy have to do ( brakes suspension and rear end) i dont see it being tooo dificult realy,

yeh shore it is going to have it's hickups but i cannot see it costing more then 10K or too mutch of a hastle

 

That's a good start, run a heavy duty clutch and get your tail sharft balanced and for sure use a ford 9in diff or you'll keep on breaking diffs. On the tail sharft replace the yokes on both sides, then get back to me for more when you've done that for more.

 

Nice looking torana though..

 

Agreed.
