where to get a 20B rebuild?

Where is everyone getting there 20B's rebuilt?




Have only built a 13B before and am not willing to experience a learning curve on such an expensive motor.

Motor will be run with a single turbo, up to 20lbs of boost and a LTX-12s ecu

Thanks for any help

Looking for a reputable shop, where the builder is experienced with 20B's.

ie:

Pineapple
CLR
Petit

Want to hear from people who actually have there engines running

Just understand that having the engine rebuilt at a reputable shop, never guarantees a bulletproof engine. There are too many factors that can easily cause even the best built engines to blow. There isn't much of a learning curve to worry about. Both engines are virtually the same. You could actually rebuild it yourself fairly easily. The main thing you need to do is get the engine doweled for that 20psi boost level. Everything else you just use stock OEM seals that WILL hold up fine if you have to good tune. In the end your tuning is whats gonna matter the most (regardless of whomever reputable shop you use to rebuild it).

http://www.pfsupercars.com/ Frederick, MD Excellent service, very expensive, very experienced.

http://www.kdrotary.com/ Shoemakersville, PA Good service, a little less expensive, experienced.

http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ Morristown, NJ Excellent service, approximately half the price of PFSupercars, 20B experience: he's almost done with mine. He has extensive experience with all varieties of 2-rotor motors.
