Looking for photos of any Mazda factory installed 20b engine bay.
Trying to determine engine setback from spindles?
Anything besides Cosmo? Maybe a special RX7 3rd gen?

RETed

Check the FAQ stickie.
The 20B was only available in the JC3S Cosmo and only in Japan from the factory.
It was never available in any other (Mazda) vehicle.

Here aer some pics of my engine bay during my intercooler piping mock-up. I end'd up changing the intake side because I forgot to mount the alternator first.

if you can find it road and track tested the factory 20b fc, and there was a picture of the install. i recall the radiator was under the hood latch, but everything else was pretty similar to the way everyone else has it.

it was a blue 88 turbo, with a 3 rotor non turbo enigne.

Yo cardzrule,

Seems to me that you have found ONE of the custom car that HAS lots emissions stuff. My guess is there are others out there. Just because you wouldn't have 'lots of emissions stuff" on your fantasy car, doesn't mean others won't.

huh???

Technically you PWNED yourself.

The 20B FC's are either hidden (unlikely) or totally destroyed (most likely).

They were never built on the "factory" floor - they were test chassis from the R&D lab.

Therefore, by either definition, it doesn't exist.

I have some pics of Roger Mandeville's factory 3 rotor race car around here somewhere. I will see if I can find them.

So if teh Mazda factory didnt install teh 20b in their own car then who did?

Reminder of teh question in this thread... Looking for photos of any Mazda factory installed 20b engine bay.

Didn't say nothing bout being a production car dood.

Owned = 1. Being completely wrong in any situation and someone calling you out on it

Mazda started to build them mainly for racing. However the engineers tried several modified production cars with these engines. This car was taken to the USA (Mazda's biggest market), for a number of automotive writers to evaluate. This caused speculation that a multi-rotor RX-7 may well be produced.

=

Also teh thing bout being owned is that it makes a bigger diff if teh person being owned acts like they know everything and treat peeps like an idiot just cos teh way they spell or something like that, and if they just read teh picture captions they would know the deal but instead they just start an argument on teh assumption that teh poster couldnt possibly be rite about nething.

For someone who likes quoting from a "dictionary", there is no such word as "teh".
...or "xample"
...or "coz"
...or "rite"
...or "nething"

Damn, I didn't know this place let 5 year olds register.

Shoo...go away...

Soo I take it that your cracking on his L33T Speak means.. YES he was right and you WERE p0wn3d.
/grin

That made my fingers hurt to type.

Oh yeah... Carddork IS the only person who DID post the pic of the car..
Hmm.

RETed

Uh, sorry, didn't know "L33T Speak" was an officially recognized langauge.
I guess the same goes for your logic...

I call "factory": something that was produced for mass-consumption and not some special one-off or "test mule".
"Test mule" is the best phrase to describe what the Mazda-built 20B FC was...
It wasn't mass produced.
Nor did it come out the "factory".
You're telling me the average, peon factory worker on the Mazda assembly line touched these test mules (after the 20B was installed and running)?
Bullshit.

It was built by the R&D department.
Yes, it was released for testing, but it was in no way "street legal".
It was not "produced by the factory".
It was a bone-stock 13B FC that was yanked off the factory floor...given to the engineers in R&D, and modifed to see if the 20B was a viable option.

So, sorry, I don't see my *** being PWNED, cause I dunno how the hell you came up with your logic.

yep and the fd came with a 2 rotor.....

20b is too hot, thirsty, etc etc for us....

And that my friend.. is why you spend 90 percent of your time defending yourself on this forum. You think in Ted world. Ted world is not always the same as the rest of the world.
And when it IS the same as the rest of the world.. you often make contrary comments... for resons that only Ted understands.

And as to your 90 percent of the time defending yourself. If many of the people who didnt ignore your often glib comments replied to them, you may have to spend more than 90 percent of your abundant time defending your thoughts.

RETed

Ah, I just love it when the psycho-analysis comes out of people.

I can tell you this much - you have no idea what you're talking about.

Those who know me know that I do this **** just for kicks.
Isn't that a surprise?

I just disagree on what you other folks call "factory".
It's the same thing when people argue about what is "stock".

Ted is right, there was never a factory 20B rx7. Maybe you are thinking of "factory quality" 20B installations. The number of real factory 20B Rx7's equals the number of real factory RB26 Rx7's.

So what does MFR stand for?

Hey Carduzule Stop Saying Teh You N00b!

cardzrule

Mazda Factory Racing?

So if RETed is rite then all teh MFR parts are stock parts made by peons for mass-consumption coz they are Factory parts. So why does ne1 pay extra for them and why does ne1 think teh MFR stuff is any better then teh OEM stuff?

So how you splane MFR then?
