Need I say more? possibly... for those of you lazy people out there they're selling 20B's for $4995 AUD

Sure. Now get that $4995 20B into the US. And that's a used stocker. Again, by the time that thing gets into an RX7 here in the states, you will have spent over $10k-15k to get a 300 hp engine that weighs as much as a stock 350-400 hp LS1 but sits farther forward in the engine compartment, and won't necessarily last as long. And by the time you get it to match the output of the V8, you'll have spent over $20K.

I built my nearly 400 hp Ford 5.0 powered RX7 for under $3k. And I had no problems with it the 5 years I had it. Cost to benefit ratio is not there with the 20B. At least not in the US. It is in Australia.

I agree with him. You can put an LS1 into an FD for much less than it costs to put a nice single turbo on. Once you sell off your stock stuff it works out to be close to the same.
