if you dont know how much hp you have w/ a stock 13BT then you really shouldnt be asking about a 20b, if it was in fact a true TurboII then you would have approx. 200hp...w/ out the turbo, your looking at 160hp, maybe. But again if your asking this question you should forget the whole 20b thing. BTW, you dont need to capitalize the first letter of every word you type. oh, and if you searched google or these forums for like 20 seconds you could have found your answer 10,000x faster.

first of all welcome to the furom. I think we need a welcoming cast with assigned duties and what not, kinda like the mods. Anyhow use the FAQ sticky thread and read it and it adresses your question about the 20b. It can be done but very expensive, but in my opinion worth it if you are that hardcore. As far as the t2 without the turbo it will be weak because of the low compression rotors the t2 has. Get a turbo on it and you will be good to go.

Are you sure you have a real Turbo II?

I think he's asking if the turbo/s from the 20b will work in his TII? Or am I just as confused as everyone else here?

Ummmmmmm post a pic of your motor...... actually all three sides of the motor. If that IS a turbo motor with no turbo on it, its gonna run like *** cause the Turbo motors have lower compression than the N/A motors. Is your car a turboII or a NA??????? If the car is an N/A, he may havet taken the turbo off cause the car has no way to control it no add fuel with the N/A ecu. He may have rebuilt the motor with turbo rotor housings, and N/A rotors and irons (which is a Bruce T. video upgrade).

Something isn't kosher here.. we need some more info.

But.. if you are new to rotaries, a 20B conversion is a few years of experience away yet!!!

yeah a 20b mean lots of cash about 10 grand if you can do most of the work. But a 13bt can be pretty damn fast i'd work with that if you've got it
