pettite's 20b makes 500+ hp right? if i remember correctly they run the stock twins? does anyone know if they are using the cosmo ecu? thanks

 

they use the link ems but are looking into wolf 3d for the future

 

oh yeah, also what would be an appropriate intercooler for the stock twins greddy 3row? they say 15psi of boost or greater... but youre pushing more air with the 20b twins than the 13b twins so would something this size be the best match or not?

 

so how far can i push the stock ecu... damn, thats why i got a fron clip.

 

up to boost cut, where ever that is

Yes, they have the Wolf3DV4 now. The new Wolf3DV4 Plus can run split timing. They also sell the Haltech E6K, so I imagine that they will also try out the E11 and see how it works. I don't see why they put up with the Link for so long, as it's not exactly the most advanced EMS on the market.

See the Spearco catalog for hints on choosing an intercooler.

Hehehe, have you compared the 20B-REW turbos to the 13B-REW turbos?

 

no, i havent started tearing down the front clip yet. im still in the process of fixing up my garage (drywall, shop lights, and electrcity will be quite nice to have ) anyway im assuming theyre bigger. i know the primary is definately bigger and the secondary comes on at a pretty low rpm (3500?) compared to the 13btt. i think maybe im taking a backward approach to this project that i might regret.... someone give me your opinion. basically i was gonna start with just getting the completely stock motor/electronics mounted and running. then upgrade from there.... porting, ecu, suspension/tires/brakes/bracing to handle the extra power. is this a backward approach to a 20b FD install? is it better to do it once and do it right, or to slowly upgrade like youre building up a 13btt? any insight would be greatly appreciated. im still trying to figure out how to get everything to come together... there are so many questions. once i start in on it i think ill feel a little better and there hopefully wont be as many loose ends.

 

oh and then theres smog (in ca) which i dont want to think about now.

 

well the 20b will never pass the visual, its not an engine that was ever legal in the us. it will pass, in stock form, the california tailpipe testing.

mike

 

Hey Mike, are you at liberty to disclose your method of passing?

 

do they really care about visual? the smog guys by me haev no idea what a REGULAR rotary engine is supposed to look like. i took it in to get smogged and after 10 minutes i walked over to them and had to clip their rpm tester around the spark plug wire cause they were stumped. can anyone comment on my proposed method in my previous post??? veterans... please help this new recruit

 

thats actually my plan too.

mike

 

ok im not alone then... i figure once everything is mounted and running fine then i can make improvements. doing everything all at once just seems too overwhelming, im not THAT hardcore!
