What is the best way to start a 20b project?

i would like to build a 20b fc. I know how much it will cost and how much it will take. But what i was wondering was is it better to start with a turbo II over and N/A or doesnt it matter?

You would want the turbo II because of it's stronger tranny and rear end.

best way to start...
1) sell everything except the tranny
1a) sell all the parts off the 20b you wont need
2) then have another 10k in your pocket
3) plan it near a holiday or something w/ a big payday involved
4) borrow another 2-3k from family (intrest is lowest there)
5) keep the twins (500hp and 500ft/lbs is something to get use to)

a serious thought...
look into mounts , ability to do the fabrication work needed, funding, find a good engine (takes time to get solid compression numbers), alot needed. fuel pump,EMS, turbo, injectors, manifold, coils, price out a rebuild or rebuild kit... some ideas for you

Search for George Samuel's RXX-7. OR better yet, search for username Atilla the fun (not sure which words are upper case).

The owner of efini.net has offered his RX-7 for sale. By now, he may have sold it. Either way, he has decided to move on to some other brand of expensive car, so I'm guessing he's also severing ties with the RX-7 community.
