rotary 20b-TT

[nemeii]

hey, im looking at getting an '86 FC33 GXL , however no motor. how much does its cost or painful is it to squeeze a 20b twin turbo under the hood. has it been done ? any info on where i can get motor mounts ?? would it be easier to get it done or do it myself ? any and all info will help thanks for your time ppl,
Nemeii

Well, it would be very difficult to put it in. But it has been done. Itsd alot more common in FD's but it has been done. I would not sugest you attemp to do it on your own. You will have to be doign alot of fabrication to get it to fit. As well as wiring harness'. Id sugest you just throw a TII in there and call it a day. But if you do decide to go with a 20b let us know how it works out.

TII ??, my lingo dealin w/ rex's is pretty up to date but youll have to tell me what that is , im assuming a 13b single??, meh idk pending on the labor cost i may have it done by the end of the summer if i can get my hands on this FC......p.s. - i would do it to and FD if i had the $$$ =P

[FDTT]

O sorry, i was refering to the Turbo II motor, ya a 13b single turbo motor like you said. Its an easy swap, and you can get quite alot of power out of it.

ROFLMFAO

your info says :
"detailed knowledge of rotary engines and honda engine compatibility "
*cough*poser*cough*

Also Mr. I dont have the money for an FD but I want to do a 20b swap
there is a post below this one a ways were the price of exactly such an operation was debated. I think the conservative estimate was in then neighborhood of about 20g, and the place that will do it professionally charges 35g.

Admit it. . . your a newbie. Hell I'm a newbie. It's not a crime man.

up to date as of when, 1984? thats about as common as saying FC. oh well, as least you figured it out though.

[Aruba27]

o come on, give the newbie a break. at least he knows what a 13b and 20b are, that's a relief.

[nemeii]

newbie?!?! whats this? well ill accept that title if its referring to rx7's after 93. and i meant literal rotary physics not necessarily different car model titles to each engine, and also "mr devout wankelist" and "spirit r" the reason im here is to find out how much this type of thing would cost not entertain your cheesy comments and to do it my self so it doesnt cost me the 35g's your talking abt. thanks for the link though and i already have found over a dozen 20b that are about 1500 cheaper than what they listed it for in that price list. Also i know that depending on the engine a rebuild could do nothing for a rotary engine if at any time it overheats to a certain degree you could pull apart a "bombed out" engine and find the apex seals are fine , its the rotor casing walls that are crapped out which means big bux. id rather deal w/ a relatively new low mileage engine even if it is already broken in.

Here just spur of the moment,lookie here even better for cheaper:

though i kinda resent the poser comment.....punk , and spirit r if he told me "13bT" i wouldve gotten it in a second but like i said i wasnt familiar w/ the car but the engines i know as good as anyone here. in fact i knew about four types of rotary engine that most mazda enthusiasts didnt and still dont dont have a clue evr existed. one such engine i have been looking for, for almost a year now and i have been only able to pick up some clues to a few of there existance and the most up to date referance to an R26b is a picture of one dated in june 2003. i went to one mazda forum looking for info and i had 2 replies , one that it didnt exist and another telling me to go to nissan forum (they mustve mistaked it for and RB26DETT, nissan skyline gtr engine) however it does exist and i believe there is a link around this forum somewhere that has it listed and some minor info about it.

p.s.- update: looking into an 88' TII rx7, new engine n such maybe i will use that after the new engine craps out.... (hey look!! i used the new term i learned yay!! ::sarcasm:


thanks for the info...

[nemeii]

oh yeah and thanx for the quasi- props aruba....

[DevoutWankelist]

I dont think i know any rotary enthusiasts who arent familiar with the r26b.

Welcome to the Rx7 boards Nemeii.

Yeah there are always 20bs on ebay, and they usually go for 5g or less, buuuttt, the real cost of the swap is all of the custom manufacturing, not the engine itself.

[DevoutWankelist]

the engines i know as good as anyone here. in fact i knew about four types of rotary engine that most mazda enthusiasts didnt and still dont dont have a clue evr existed. one such engine i have been looking for, for almost a year now and i have been only able to pick up some clues to a few of there existance and the most up to date referance to an R26b is a picture of one dated in june 2003. i went to one mazda forum looking for info and i had 2 replies , one that it didnt exist and another telling me to go to nissan forum (they mustve mistaked it for and RB26DETT, nissan skyline gtr engine) however it does exist and i believe there is a link around this forum somewhere that has it listed and some minor info about it.

I think you are seriously underestimating and maybe even insulting the intelligence and knowledge of the members of this board.
As far as that other board. . . Well if it was a Mazda forum like you say and not an rx7 forum or rotary forum, you can hardly hold some mazda drivers accountable for knowledge on rotaries. Most of them probably dont drive rotaries. . . Where is a link to this post, I would like to know.

PS. You dont have to tell us wtf an R26bDETT is either man. . .

"FC33" Anyone else catch that

[DevoutWankelist]

lol, missed that one.

[xjoeharperx]

If you knew so much then you would opt for the jolly green giant that was made by john deere.
3.5 liter 4 rotor. made 850 hp normally aspirated.

hey look thathas every mazda engine ever made or used, even prototypes. now leave and never come back because you'll never get a R26B because it was only used for the Lemans and IMSA GTP race cars, it is not available to consumers, if you weren't a totaly idiot you'd know that.

why do people seem to think its hard to find info about this engine? well just to show how easy it is, heres another link for the R26B! http://www.mymazdarotary.com/mazda_r...paper_html.htm

come on people, learn how to google already!

Good Day!
