Took a couple of videos while running in the engine

Nothing too exciting but gives you an idea of what it sounds like


Coming off highway, changing down through gears (5.9 mb)

Taking off in second gear, pulling onto highway accelerating up to 100 ks (5.6 mb)

Whenever I see your vids, it makes me want to put my 20B in a 1st gen. How is the handling with all the extra weight?

I can't notice any difference to the handling, feels just like a 13B.

I can't say 12A, because I've never had a 12A in it

The motor sits further back and all the air con gear has been takes out, it was still in there with the 13B

Ah, thanks for the info. The front cover of my 20B is at the 13B location (to use the old mount) and the extra length went rearward. It wasn't running right on the 13B map I was using, but it was running well enough to take it for a short spin. The handling felt similar to the 13B although the 13B was only in the car for a brief period. The front end felt heavy with both engines. I think stiffer springs and a relocated battery will help.
