Talking Help: Need 20B Engine Builders or Place to get Rebuilt 20B

Guys I know where to get 20Bs from for cheap and all, but I am wanting to know where they actually rebuild 20Bs for a pretty good price. Some places I used to know even sold completely rebuilt 20Bs for a really good price, so let me know if you guys know of a place that would have something I might be interested in or I might be looking for. Just give me some type of contact information or a company name or something of trustable/reliable people who rebuild 20Bs or sell rebuilt 20Bs. Thanks beforehand for all the help guys.....

Mazdatrix is probably your best bet, I think they charge $650-700 for the rebuild labor on a 13B, so probably around $1k for the 20B. They do good work though and their engines are usually among the most reliable in the racing universe.

Gotham Racing can rebuild your 20B. They currently have three 3 rotors in house, with two build ups projected to make 1,000+ HP. Ask for George.

He's referring to Carlos Lopez in Miami. He is excellent.

How did you translate that jibberish? It looked like the cat jumped on his keyboard.

LOL! I'm still sticking with Mazdatrix, you're in LA and they are close by. I never like the idea of shipping my engine off anywhere!

Funny, I'm used to deciphering stuff like that. It's a talent, albeit a fairly useless one.

Carlos won me over, he took 2hrs out of his day to talk me through *some* of his processes, etc that he'll be using on my setup. its my opinion that he's one of the few good hackers (design, research, etc) when it comes down to it.

I'm in a technical field as my job demands that I stay on top of the current technology... Over the years I've honed a sense of bullshit (at least figuring out if someone is smart within their field on a tech level - not RTFM style).

point blank the guy knows his **** ..imo

Any engine builders in or close to Minnesota?

I live in Manitoba and shipping to LA or Miani would be close to $1000. Would prefer someone closer.
