I just post the full story in the other forum...



I'll post the link...

http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.ph...hreadid=304066



I figure I'd keep the disk space down by not cut&pasting the entire text.



If you guys want, I can do the C&P into here...

Either way is probaly ok. Phins didn't mind when I posted pics of a rotary B2000 in the FS section.



I spent some quality time with my 20B today. I added an ACV blockoff plate and started visualizing ways to do the induction untill I can afford a decent ECU. I'll see how well a dellorto will work hooked to the UIM.



Hey Ted, do you think that will even work? Dellorto 48DHLA on a 20B manifold. Bad idea?

A positive and a negative of the 20B is it's minimum horsepower is still monstrous.
You keep saying this... but do you realise what the stock rating even is?

If I had the money, I'd want a Twin GT3037 Ito Ported 20B motor running 1.5 kilos in a custom widebody FD.



I don't know why I just said that, but that's what I want. So take that.

I have almost zero experience, and I wouldn't even insult you with a guess.



Damnit Jeff, get that thing running so I got something to compare to!

Hey Ted, how does it sound without a turbo? Any videos? The unequal length headers ought to make the idle sound a little different.
It really sounds like throaty 6-cylinder.

For the guys who know rotaries, they all like it.



I'll try and get the sound clips soon!

280ps, which is like 276hp...officially.

Dyno testing shows that they can easily make 300hp at the flywheel.
