Allright I need your help guys. I have a really good deal coming to me for a 20bTT.

Here is my question though, What would I need (besides money, I know thats an issue) to get this thing to run in my car. What kind of tranny, ecu, etc.

Please I am really debating on purchasing this engine. Thank you

 

you would need the 20b section and some quality time with the search function

 

no offense but if you have to ask then its oviously not something you should do?

all i used on mine was a set of mounts, BIG GIANT radiator, custom downpipe, front mount IC with custom plumbing, and a haltech....

trans was just the original t2...

if i was gonna do it again, i'd run it NA, makes the same HP as the stock twins, without all the headache of the turbos

 

it does greatly depend on how you want it set up. If you want to go single turbo with it you will have thousands of dollars just for that.

 

time, money, research.

 

i spent a lot of time researching when i did mine in 2001. in fact i knew how almost everything was going to work before i touched the car.

 

Oh ok... That is not that bad at all. I was just thinking of doing a 3rotor Large street port with a Gt37r turbo.

Hopefully make like 500+ horses.

But N/A idea doesnt sound bad either.


Sorry That I didnt research but Im here at work and I leave for school right after... But I appreciate all the comments.

 

that turbo is really to small for that kind of set up. try looking into gt40 or gt42's

 

I have to say, I hate when people say crap like this. If everyone would not attempt something just because they don't fully understand it we'd still be in the Stone Age. Obviously the OP is trying to learn how to make this happen before even buying the motor; I would say that’s a step in the right direction. Rather than some people who have gotten half way through the swap then start asking questions.

As to the OP's question, I have not done this personally but I have looked into it a bit, as someone else said, main items you need are a standalone, mounting solution, downpipe (or full exhaust replacement), Cosmo fuel pump or something better, big aluminum radiator (they produce A LOT of heat), intercooler solution. You'll want to make sure you have someone close to you for tuning as you will be towing it there.
I would also suggest replacing things like the thermostat, all vacuum lines, etc.

Plan out the swap step by step. GL.

 

hatemy7....Your best bet would be to get into the 20B forum and follow threads of guys who have 500HP on 20Bs. They know best. Ask alot of questions ViA Pms

 

After being on the forum's for awhile its very annoying to see a post thats been asked before the search function is a great tool... also why not go ask in the 20b section? Im not trying to be hateful but how many times do you go into the 2nd gen section and you see just bought an 88gxl i wanna put a turbo motor in it or a 13brew motor? same concept

If you have nothing positive to say just shut the **** up and move on to the next thread kthnx.

 

Although it would be great if people spent more time searching before posting new threads about topics that have been beaten to death, it's just not going to happen. Certain individuals in this thread need to take it easy.

 

So then why are you talking?

Check the 20b forum. /thread

 

Thank you.. Yeah $1500 is a damm good deal for a 20b.

Thank you sir

Ok, noted

wow

 

The first thing you need is deeeeep pockets. With that said, the low-bucks way to go 20B is to buy my car. See: http://www.cris.com/~Asam/20B.html It's yours for $19,900.

 

look @ fc3spros (ted's) estimate on a 20bswap

http://fc3spro.com/TECH/SWAP/COSMO/20b.html

 

20b cost way too much. If you're not looking for something that's just unique then avoid it. So many better, way cheaper power options.

$1500 is a GREAT price, though...you can nearly double it on eBay, then use that as a foundation for a better build. For $3000 you can do (plus basic mods) a TII swap or, if you're wanting something different that's more powerful/reliable you can do a 7m or 1jz swap, or if you're wanting something crazy fast/cheap do an LS1.

20b's are cool, but down at the bottom of my "what would be cool in my RX7 engine bay" list.

 

Yeah I am also trying to estimate on how much Ill be spending. So far its like 10-12k.... well see though.
