I smell a road trip. not. guess ill just have to deal with movies but thats not a bad thing im not complaining i just want a ride, dont we all

 

if someone decides to come up from fl i will ride with them

 

looks nice. good luck with the rest of it.

 

good god!

 

This is more impressive than my wooden steering wheel.

 

How much was that engine?

 

Nice man!

Any ideas on what the cost and output would be on a 20b non-turbo? Seems like it would be simpler, and fairly powerful as well...the ultimate n/a upgrade...

thats what i was thinking. doing a 20b up with 3 carbs... that would be pretty sweet. and i think it would be alot cheaper then getting all the turbo and intercooler stuff..

 

That's so beautiful I think I could cry...one of these days I want to make a N/A 20B powered car for those who prefer the ultimate smooth engine (not that the turbo isn't smooth, but nothing is close the the smoothness of a N/A rotary no?).

 

i'm sooo drooling at this moment.. your pictures makes me so mad! i want a 20b! too bad i'm a poor high school student!

i am a poor high school studfent as well, and my druling began as soon as i opened this thread, but hey, as long as its a fellow rex owner enjoying it, its cool.

 

Updates? has it run yet???

 

Yeah, its been running for about a month. Slowly troubleshooting things. Had an oil leak and had to pull the motor.... not a big deal, in out and fixed in about 3 hours...

This weekend, we had some freaky ignition problems... it'll get ironed out soon.

BTW, I'm a poor college drop out Just got in the right field at the right time.

A carby 20B currently holds the all motor class with VERY low 10s

 

cool man, good luck with the ignition problems


you pulled and reinstalled the motor in 3 hours? wow...

I hope I get to that point some day

 

15K$!!!!! Holy ****! I have no ral idea but
motor3K
rebuild1K
mounts500$
E6K-1300$
custom welding1K
IC600$
oil cooler& lines 500$
custom porting1K$
clutch600$

What am I missing? By the way your car is amazing, a real inspiration!

 

Well, when doing a lot of custom work, (getting things welded up) it all starts to add up...


And you also forgot the head light kiit..

Yeah, and don't forget:
-injectors
-tires and rims that are big enough
-tons of little things from autozone
-exhaust parts from summit
-IC pipes from summit
-silicone hoses and IC pipe connecting pieces
-clamps for the IC
-custom radiator

And things I'm not counting:
-welder
-air tools
-lots of tools that I've lost and had to replace
-paint and body work
-paint gun
-paint
-lots of other junk

and I'm not done... and the custom welding of aluminum stuff is prolly over $1000 by now... and I've had to have several items fabricated, like a TB adapter ($200), hard oil return line ($150), beer ($6000), custom turbo work ($350) and a LOT of shipping charges... it adds up quickly.

 

what ever happened to this car?

 

This car is replacing the DeLorean, the filming for 'Back to the Future IV' is 8 months into production

 

serious? got any links?

 

Ok, Why do you need to use a haltech. Is it not possible to use a factory cosmo ecu? It just seems to me that would be the cheapest and easiest route to take. Im sure it can be done with a cosmo front clip and some wireing enjinuity

 

well there's the obvious reason of it's prolly hard as hell to find a cosmo ecu and wiring harness fully intact and operational. Also, with a haltech you can do all those nifty tuning things

 

If one were to abtain a Cosmo ECU and at least a part of the wiring harness (enough to extend the wires to their proper places), would it be possible to use the stock ignition computer and avoid a lot of hassle?
