carburated NA 20b in FB?

not some 13b three rotor housings?, an actual 20b. is there an upper and lower intake manifold? is it possible to carb it? ofcourse, with NA the rotors would be lower compression, so would NA 13b rotors swap in? and a mount would be custom....

with mounting a 20b, are there big differences between mounting at the front like a fb, middle like the fc, or back like the fd?

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttt


i just realized, wouldnt it be out of balance if you put different rotors in, and used the 20b counter wieghts......


so, is there any way around that?

or

13b rotors and their housings, with the 20b side housings and E shaft? you would need the 13b flywheel and counterweight, so would those match with the 20b e shaft?



or is there any way to shallow the pockets on the rotor?

there is a lower and an upper manifold on the 20b.

take the money you save buy tearing the motor down to put higher compression ratio rotors in there and just by a turbo to replace the twins. then send me an email thanking me for getting rid of that stupid idea. LOL j/k

jeff20b is doing the same thing your thinking of, cept he is sticking with the low compression rotors and just carbing it. shoot him a PM.

Theres a few NA 20bs out there. You would have to find S5 or S4 NA rotors, the flywheel problem can be easily fixed with an aftermaket light weight flywheel.

Now a good question would be is it actually worth it to spend THAT MUCH $$$$ on that setup. Just get a 13bt and swap it in. If your feeling rich do a 13b RE and if you still think you got lots of money to burn just drop in the 20b in the car. ( might offset the weight ballance a little bit but nothing out of this world ).

oh and on the other note. The 20b NA's ive seen ( not personlly are individual throttle body setups )

I've decided to try EFI on mine. I have almost everything I need. I'm going to see where I can install an EFI fuel pump (Walbro 255) in a few minutes. I've also gotta run a new sending line and I'll use the original line as a return. The only thing holding me back from really getting into it is all these carbs I have to deal with around here. At least the Hitachi worked out in the end. I hope I can get lucky with the Nikkis.
