20B RX-7 first start up - videos up now

Well it has finally been started. I have four videos up at the moment.

These are taken while running off the 20BT map.

All that is left to do now is find a decent size accelerator cable, blue plate it and rego.

If anyonecan help out with suggestions for the cable, please only respond if you know what works.

It obviously sounds a lot different in real life, much louder. It is running one 3" straight through muffler at the rear.

First startup - First time 20B had been fired up, running off 20BT map. Sound taken from front 23.2 mb

Same as above, taken from rear of car. Start, small rev & idle 10.2 mb
http://www.rotary20b.com/videos/20b/start_back.avi


Sound from back of car, couple of small revs & idling 4.3 mb
http://www.rotary20b.com/videos/20b/back_small_rev.avi


Same as above, taken close to exhaust, idle & rev 5.5 mb

Cost.. less than 10k usd, for everything.

20B rebuilt using all 20B parts. Large extend port. Kept lower comp rotors as will most likely go turbo down the track.

A lot.

I got a good deal, have been going to this workshop for around 10 years now.

That 10k USD is ecu, gearbox, fuel pumps, radiator, everything.
