Yes, you are the new owner of a potential monster. Be careful.

Well, thankx for the warm welcome, I think....... I feel a lot better about my purchase now. As long as this thing is faster than one of my other cars it'll be just fine. I'll pull the motor out tomorrow and take it down to the Mazda Shop to have them port the ........ports.
Now..... How hard is it to put together a three rotor?

I am sure if you slapped a 20b in a second gen and pimped it to hell and back you could break those speed records...
Edit: Of course Ive seen a few second gens doing high speed runs (200+ mph) and flipping
Id be sketchy about doing that lol.

BTW, the pics are in the Magazines folder, but feel free to view or download whatever you like. Oh, and please don't send me email at that address, as I only log into that account when I do things like this, and I may not get your email for a month or two.

You can get a used 20B-REW 3-rotor engine for about $4,000, and then spend another $6,000 - 10,000 on the massive amounts of work required to make it work in an RX-7, or pay a professional shop about $35,000 for a very nice conversion. See our 20B forum for more discussion on 3-rotor engines.
