Here's the video of the first and second startup of my 20B, and a little driving. Wahoo!!!!

This is a personal site, so sorry if the d/l is slow.

The first time was crazy, we didn't expect it to fire up so quickly and easily, so we weren't prepared for it, I couldn't see 5 feet in front of me until we got the hangar door open. This is also why the first video is 10 seconds and the car is already running.
She's still got a ways to go, but this was the biggest hurdle there is. Total time from yanking the 2 rotor to starting the 3 rotor was 39 months (<not a typo).
I'm prepping the Burnout kit for paint, and need to get with Rishie to order my wheels.

 

congratulations!!!

i love seeing these success stories. enjoy ...

 

hot damn! crossing my fingers that mine will start today. we switched out the microtech for a haltech.

 

Congrats! What kind of exhaust system was on the car in that video?

 

Thanks guys!

I got the map from Sean at A-Spec.
The primary injector sizes on the map he sent me were a little different, so I just had to fiddle with it. I ended up taking out 10% of fuel and it fired right up. While driving it was a little lean, but not too bad. I'm hoping to jump on the dyno to make sure its good enough to start breaking in the newly rebuilt motor. There's no WOT map, and the load map only goes up to 3k if I remember correctly. So it needs some tuning before I can start driving it around.
I had alot of help along the way, if it weren't for some key people, it'd still be sitting.

 

congrats. I can 't wait for the dyno #'s.

 

At the time of the video its just 4" going to a 4" Mag. Race muffler in the cat location. The rest of the exhaust is on now, from the Magnaflow it stays 4" until it hits the Apex GT Spec larger section. So its almost 4" all the way. Its still just as loud, just a deeper tone with the rest of the exhaust.
The rest of the exhaust will be coated this week, along with my IC piping.
I'll snag some pics when they're back on the car.

 

Congrats! Sounds great.

 

MAN. That sounds freaking phenomenal........

I want one

 

i never thought this day would come Shaun.
are you going to coat the ic piping in polished color?

 

Yes I am.
It sure beats the crap polish job that the pipes came with.

 

i gotta come get all my **** coated before you leave that place.

 

Better hurry then...

 

Great to see that motor up and running.. Your motor was one of the 1st 20B's I imported from japan. I actually had planned on keeping that motor for myself...

Enjoy...

 

It went to two other people before I even got it. I'm glad the others decided to quit
I always wondered who originally had this shipped over. Thanks!

 

I know Banzaitoyota had it around the same time I got mine. Did you get it directly from him?

 

No, he sold it to a guy in NC, John English. He then tried to rebuild it and failed horribly. I opened it up to port it and it looked like a 5th grader rebuilt it.
So I had it rebuilt and ported before I put it in.

 

why didnt the links work for me?

 

dunno, looking into it. They should be there.

 

A few pics.

 

very nice indeed.

The LHD cars are at a distinct advantage with rotary power. Better exhaust, Drivers feet dont burn. Turbo on right, driver on left.

The series-8 type nose is a nice edition too. Hoping it gets painted soon too.
