Heath if your going to run the stock ecu temporaily, you might as well run the 20b IC. You could get alot of things done with the $1,400 or so dollars you would save.

thanx guys , i am currently looking into the RA omp adapter,
the reason i liked the apexi core is that it has a decent amout of fins (think more than enough) and because of its slanted fin design it allows more air to flow quicker to the radiator etc thus helping my little 20b devil to keep cool...
i know there arent any numbers for this but, a comparison: i used this same ic on my 2-rotor with more boost than i plan on running the 3-rotor (i know you cant really compare but its all i got to go on ), and it held up pretty darn good
i will post those other pics today ,

leading and trailing plugs (2 per rotor)... there is tons of info on this forum... but i hate when people tell me to search so -> http://auto.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine.htm

not to come off as a pompus *******, but this section of the forum is a pretty "advanced" one as far as rotaries go... you might want to direct anymore questions to other sections untill you are up to speed. that being said, welcome to the forum, and to the wonderful world of rotary engines.

PS Felix... everything sorted out with hosting and what not? ive got to see/hear this thing

as you can see i am using the fact that my re amemia`s are shallow , to pass all the pipes underneath the lights
i still need to paint the front , next week the car will go to the bodyshop ...so i am assuming i should be "road ready" in about 2.5 weeks i guess

i've been researching (serious research btw) the 20b swap for about 2-3 weeks now. planning on starting it in the fall/winter. these definately are inspirational pictures. i just caught myself thinking "what can i sell to get the extra money to start the project early..."
all i can say is well done felix. i hope i can follow your example, and others.
