A completely stock port 20b engine without the turbos has made 232 rwhp. Hmmm not bad for a 2400 lb car. That's more than what a stock Fd puts down with twins turbos.

I'm drooling all over at the thought. I grew up in Puerto Rico
where you see rotaries and mods all over, but I'm yet to see
a 20B in a 1st gen. You guys are wicked, keep it up mate and
thanks for sharing the info. and pictures.

I agree with you on that Grewing in Puerto Rico seeing this cars all over I have never seen a FB with a 20B on a process. I would love to see one in person and hear to see how it sounds like. Anyone in Seattle with that kind of power?

I'm getting crazy ideas... Maybe shipping the car to Puerto Rico for that
kind of modification is not far fetched. I will end up saving tons of money
in labor. Something to think about Latin Heat.
You see what you're doing Rotary20B? Messing with peoples head...

Yea I agree with you d. quinones. I will be having my Wedding up in Puerto Rico around 4-21-07 and while I am down there I will see if I can get in touch with a few Puertorican Rotory machanic and see. My fiance wants to move down there so, if I do end up doing that I will make sure to save alot of money and then take my car down there with me and do a major project on it. 
Hopefully but I like your thinking attitude.

Felicidades!! May your wedding bring many years of happiness for you
and your wife LatinHeat. I've been out of the loop for years in reference to
mechanics in Puerto Rico. But I'll definitely let you know if I find out before
you do. I'm in the military so I won't be able to settle down there for a
while, but I'll be flying there often after I'm done with my deployment.
Note: Apologies to Rotary20B, I know this is kind of out of the subject.
But, as you can see, your thread has messed with 2 puertoricans
who are planning to go back to the island, where things are
caliente.

We are doing up kit for crossmember etc if anyone is interested. Will cut down on the cost of a conversion quite a lot if getting a workshop to do it.

For the person who asked about cooling, I did have a S3 radiator that was record and a twin core. Now have a triple core radiator and am running a single Davies Craig 16" thermo.
The car should be finished in the next week, I will post some videos when it's completed.
The car is being engineered so will be road legal over here, may take another week or so for that.

These will be the last pics before it is running, just exhaust to complete now.
Made a few changes, new twin core radiator was replaced with a new triple core, and am running twin 10" fans instead of one large 16".
This pic is of the new radiator, fans & oil cooler setup
Fuel setup (need to clean underneath up now)
Engine sitting in car finished
And again..

I have the same 3 row core radiator but my oil cooler was mounted in front due to lack of space. I mounted my fan on the back side of the rad. I had a 16" sitting around so I used that and shrouded the upper 2" and lower 2" that hangs over the core. I hope the oil cooler doesn't block air flow too much.
Any luck making those motor mount kits? I think my friend's GSL-SE project might need a kit.

He's from the same City. There's a couple of 20B FCs that are almost done too in Brisbane, should be good

G'day everyone,
I just got back from the workshop, just the exhaust to go now. Will be up & running next week.
Here's a couple of pics I took
