I'm not tying to be rude (honest), but if you have to ask, a custom 20B is beyond your abilities. Plus it would be a stupid amount of effort and cost when you could just go and buy a running engine.

crossbar baby what is going on. How you doing in maine? I am in NC but that doesn't matter, I just got done with a three rotor car. Well to say the least I saw one. The custom eshaft is just the beginning. There is a lot of stuff involved. However, if you want to go for it go for it man.

Custom e-shaft alone will cost you more than a complete 20B Jspec long block. Then you have to make a custom intermediate housing to hold an extra stationary gear.... It will quickly add up to $20K for the motor alone.

Making a custom 20B is tough. I'm going the route of taking a 20B jspec and having a custom eshaft made only so that I may fit an extra bearing into the second intermediate housing. This is only a necessary mod if you plan on revving the engine above 9000 rpm, and have either a bridge or PP.

Any importer can get you one...TRY SEARCHING. This is asked at least several times per week. Also, this forum has a section completely devoted to the 20B. Try looking there.

the only reson to get a custom e shaft is if you need a billit e shaft to hold more HP than 700. So there is no point. you can get a 20b with under 30,000 miles for $3500. and then ECU to run it for $1100-$2000, and then you still need FMIC, big radiator,a FD flywheel( unless your are going automatic), custom motor mounts or k2rd mounts. So it's a good $6000 prodject even if you do the laber your self.

I have heard of the lowest cost it being done for is 13K, i have looked into it deeply, the cost is Justified.

Tho i still wet my panties thinking of Supercharged 3 rotor, with a very well tuned Nitrous system.

All the info can be found in a post Titled; "Dropped in my 20B the other day" search for exactly that, The kit is not yet released (atleast to my knowledge) but he is workign on it, I bealive the kit will include the cost of the Engine, K2RD mounts, and varios other needed accesories.
