I think that Corksport has the best price, but just about any Japanese engine importer could get you one. You can sometimes get the 20B for half this price from private individuals who bought one, realized what it really costs to install, and then sell it for a loss.

If you look in the upper right hand corner of this forum, you will notice a blue "Search" button. Click on that and search the 2Gen forum for "20B" and you will find lots of info.
This site covers most of the installation issues for a 2Gen.

the injector plugs are nice to have...
www.fc3s.org has 20b engines too
i actually found about 5 motors in my search.
one was 2k but dissassembled
2 were in japan
1 was on a boat
corsport has them
and fc3s.org had one
atkins had the whole front clip
the thing with the 20b stuff is you either need all of the electrics or none of it, i got lucky and mine had everything, but if i didn't have the coils its $3000 from mazda, so you would be better off with a haltech
pm me if you are still looking for an engine

IMO the only useful harness part is the alternator plug, which I got at Discount Auto Parts for a few dollars.

Today I found out that the Motec M4 and M8 will run a 20B with the stock coil packs with very good results. I guess it is possible that other aftermarket EMS units could also do this, but I do not know of any.

550 hp @ 12psi with stock 3rd gen twins - check out webpage
Not sure of price, but I am pretty damn sure it would be less than like $3500 us!!!

Oh well, it looks like I will just use some Blaster2 or motorcycle coils along with Bosch igniters. I'm still trying to find out what kind of ignition options are available with the new Wolf3D 4.0 EMS.

I got my 20b from an importer for a HELL of a lot less than the prices I'm seeing posted here. I will post the name of the place, as soon as I'm sure that I won't be needing to buy another one (since the shippers dropped my engine). I just don't want them to be sold out and me stuck with nothing... hope you understand
