Whoa. Well, see evil aviator......He calls his 20b a money pit....hope you got cash.

Personally I look forward to putting a small nuclear sub engine in mine. So far, no ones got any except maybe pakistan and getting through that red tape is next to impossible.

Do you have a shop?
Are you prepared for the "money pit syndrome" ?

Look for a J-spec used engine dealer.

be ready to dish out around 10-15k to get everything to fit under the hood.

Use thew search function. It will yield all too many results.

yeah..you stripped your t2 so now you need a 20b, those two processes are not only in two completely different ballparks, they are in completely different sports.

Not sure what kind of engine you have, but if its an NA, do a turbo swap. If its a turbo, there are many, many things you can do to the engine to make it faster. If you really want power, get a T04, or something. The guy I bought my car from was planning on putting in a 20b at one point, but then he decided to just build a formula car. Last I heard about it, he had a formula contenintal engine and was going to stuff it in a formula ford body....
