i saw this list and thought it was pretty cool. its pretty old and the prices are kind of high for some stuff by todays standards. does anyone care to discuss what this list would look like today? i, honestly, would like to know....

I like this one:

 

Is that a 20B or a piece of art?

 

20B! Now there's an ultimate engine!

yea, this thread didnt turn out like i thought it would. i was expecting something like what fendamonkey did or at least a discussion of some kind. but sure

Turblown(.net) has a dry film coating for housings and internals. I'd like to try that out when I finish my engine and start building a backup engine.

13B Rotor Housing Coating - Turblown Engineering

 

What wide band is a grand?

 

In my opinion my ultimate rotary motor would be an all billet 20b with titanium rotors, aggressive streetport, ALS apex seals, mechanical preturbo water/meth injection, with a billet 7675 turbo. Have it rev to 9k or 9500rpm, getrag 6 speed tranny, and a cobra irs. Should have good power all through rev range (or at least in my dreams it would lol)
