Think I can get my car running in 2 weeks?
I just started to work on my car again and here are some pics from a couple days ago. I spend the past 3 days working on the subframe (finally done :-D). I'll post my progress if anyone is interested with daily/bi-daily pics.

does anyone else here feel that a pristine FD body with a 20b would be better than any new car. i sure do.
|
Wow Steve thats looking really good. Hope your car makes it to Rotor fest. Maybe after I install all my new goodies I got from you and enjoy them for awhile we can talk abouit a 20b install.. haha j/k thats alil O.D. for me right now..
Good luck.. Jay |
You crazy foo... if you can port my motor in a couple of hours you can get that thing in within a couple of weeks!
I'll catch you this week sometime. -R |
i think you can, i have seen it done before (sky just got his 3rotor running in his fc :))
it just takes will power, well that and a good tig welder and a chop saw :) and a bank account |
damn 2 cyms in the same pic :drool:
|
Do a detailed writeup? That'd be nice for us dreamers to see what its all about.
|
very nice. What are you expecting out of it power wise?
-Sean |
how many turbos you plan on running? you gonna go all out and do a triple turbo system like sky?
|
You know what I love most about the underhood look for those 20b's - the intake manifold IS GORGEOUS !!
2 weeks for 20b install ? :p: Maniac ;) |
i dunno steve, took 16hrs for you to swap a transmission out :rolleyes:
|
i sure hope you do. that is gonna be nice. What kind of power are you expecting? dont do a write up because it will take away from you work time, and i want to see this thing done.
|
I got dibs on the subframe design.
|
ANOTHER 20B CYM?!?!?!? :LOL:
I think Dragon did his 20B swap in about 25 days from the very beginning so 2 weeks left and the engine's already in...no problemo. |

people never read threads, they all have ADD
|
I bet you can get it running, but I then wouldn't drive it all the way to Indy without having time to sort it. I'd trailer it.
|
Are you going to swap the ignition over to magnetic pickups and coils?
You plan on rebuilding the engine or are your going to leave it alone for now BTW - Its looking good man STEPHEN |
If anyone could, I'd figure it to be you.

i was picking on him, it was in his 4 runner, 4x4...auto tranny, me, steve, and carson (dubulup) all worked on it for about 16hrs straight
put it this way, we got the tranny in, and then the motor wouldn't turn over....so we had to take it back off, not sure what we did, but the second time around worked then we found out the transfer case had a crack in it after it was installed/running he made it from atlanta to birmingham and i think bryan from BNR welded the case up for him |

yeah carson, but i spelled your username correct finally :)

As of this morning, the engine is out and apart. I'm gonna spend the next 2-3 days street porting and rebuild. Looks like I'll have to replace the rotor housings with 13B since these housings have some wear. Here're some pics of the subframe and engine disassemble.
