Pettit or PFS 20B swaps
My question is exactly like the subject sounds... which one of the conversions is the better of the two. Not worried about price or difficulty, just which one has the most pay-off in the end.

im not sure pfs is still doing custom work??
either way they both have a different way to solve the problems of the swap, it just depends on what you want the car to do when its done

I dont think you can get PFS to do any more 20b hybrids. Most of the guys who did all the Fab work dont work with him anymore. As far as the best handling conversion it would be PFS because of the way he kept from changing the suspension. The Pettit model just drops the steering rack and plops the Motor in. Not good for Handling but just fine for making Gobs of straight line performance.

Eh. I was going to start a thread titled '20B n FD: Which is the best setup?' Looks like I can just speak my mind here. I've always like the Banzai setup, but it's just that I don't like what they have done with the install. Is there any other options from other tuners besides these two without doing the custom work yourself?
Damn if only Axis Motor Sports would be here!!! I want a friggen tri turbo setup and since they have done it before, I don't see the problem why they wouldn't share their invaluable secrets if the pirce was right...heheh

petit also cuts and rewelds the steering arms on the knuckle to compensate for the lower rack

I would just want to retain the handling properties that the car was based on and have the power of the 20B. I want my cake and be able to eat it too :p

if i was to do it all over again i think i would have stayed 2 rotor. i could have made the car about 50-70? lbs lighter that way, and it would have been done by now too
