longer because of more irons and an exttra housing. as well as a manifold that sitts higher(i think) and is a few inches longer because of the two extra runners.
i'm sorry that you think putting a 20b instead of a ls1 in the vette is dumb but you see the ploblem the the 20b gives that its to much power for the fds to manage as for as handling and others issues its because of how wide the vette is and how long is that i feel that it can handle that beast that we know that the 20b can be. you see i'm shooting for around 600hp and i would like to enjoy all 600hp and by the way whats a ls1 compared to my 210 mph (ZR1) nothing will you agree. so dont hate participate once again thank you root
I think a 20b in a vette would be interesting but IMO the vette is the definition of an american muscle car so v8 seems the way to go( Im not saying i dont like your idea though). I do have to say though that getting 600hp is going to be more reliable to though (if you go iron block). but the 20b would be very unique.
i never said it was dumb i just thinking you should stick with the gm set up like a ls6 or a ls7 or supercharged or turbocharged lsx.
oh and my car would put a spanking on that zr1 so bad that it would send you back to the dealership asking for a refund.
Rotary sound in a Vette just wouldn't sound right. The same thing vise versa! Some vehicles need to sound a certain way. Hell I just recently bought a used 2000 BMW M5. Them German's don't play! Man I'll tell ya! The v8 rumble is a drastic change for me. Every car i've previously owned has been rotaty powered. Originally I told myself that if the engine ever blew, I would use the chassis for a 4 rotor swap. Now that would really be a nice luxury sports sedan. But then again I thought!!!!!!! As nice and as unique it would be, it just wouldn't sound right.

And it would have lasted many more thousands of miles. It only blew do to my own ignorance. I was running 87 octane in cold weather (as I had been doing for the past 4 months while I tested the limits). As I was boosting cold, the double thorttle opened causing a boost spike from 8psi up to 12psi. If most of you didn't know, double throttle limits boost to 8psi and blocks flow to the secondary's till the engine is warmed up. Pop goes the wease. There's no way the factory tune could compensate for those conditions. Oh yea the bimmer (even 9yrs old) is freaking solid). Them damn German's don't play!

87 octane is unleaded fuel, and it's great to use in a rotary......a normally aspirated one anyway

So..... no videos huh? have you guys seen the 20b fc that spanked the viper with a 300shot on the free way several times in a row. does anyone know the numbers on that car? or any more details.
Mine has not been on the dyno since the new turbo and manifold was put in (Precision T76) but at 10psi it pulls like hell and has no problems breaking the tires loose in a rolling 4th gear pull.
Since mine is daily driven I will probably be happy with 500rwhp, pretty sure its possible to achieve on pump gas.
I cant think of too many other cars that have the combination of exotic looks, amazing sound and awsome power that a single turbo 20b FD has.
0-60 times are irrelevant in the real world, they're just talking numbers for little kids and old guys who are going through a midlife crisis, the 1/4 times and speed is where it's at. for reference a friend of mine goes to the track weekly and is a very good driver, his gt40 13b puts down about 400 whp, he easily keeps up with 500 hp c6 z06 vettes around the track, running stock width (though they are R-comp) rims on 255 tires, that's not very wide, on the same setup he ran a 12.2 in the 1/4 (I forget the speed). The fastest a c6 z06 has run is a 10.9 something though with an average driver I can see an 11.5 as average. A full second in the 1/4 is a pretty big difference, that just shows what a good driver and the right setup can do with these cars, he's getting a big brake kit with stupid wide ccw classics after the end of this season, and he should be able to put all that power to the ground, right now he has to slow down drastically in some of the corners because if he doesn't he'll just break the tires loose and spin.
If all you want to do is drag race your car, get the right setup, rotary performance (rx7.com) is a great place to start, to really put down 600+ whp you're gonna need some massive fender flares to fit the tires, plus a solid suspension setup, go research on ls1tech or some mustang forums, they'll probably have more info on that. There's a reason why some of the stupid fast drag cars you see are tubbed, that's the only way they can get the traction to run those times.
