That's #1. #2, the harness is completely diff, you'd have to do some unbelievably incredible rewiring job to make it work, IF it was possible. Plus, the stock 20B is auto.... In short, check out the 20B thread, specifically the 20B Newbie/FAQ Sticky that EvilAviator just put up...

David - what kind of gas mileage are you seeing?

Not that I would care if it's a gas hog or anything , I'm just curious.

Really don't know yet. Haven't even checked this during the break in period. Cam states you can get 20 MPG on the highway if you really try but can also use the gas needle as a tachometer if you are really romping on it. So, my guess is between 1 - 20 MPG.

Once the car is broken in and retuned, I'll give you a better read on this.

Well, you've gotta figure it's roughly 50% worse than the 12 or so mpg i'm getting with the two-rotor. I make up for it with my daily driver.

Maybe your torque number was an error on the dyno's part.

The dyno is definately fixed. It was used for the Steve Kan dyno day a week or so ago.

That's when Yanni (SurgeMonster) was getting inconsistent readings.

No, Pettit uses larger injectors (at least for the secondaries) but I don't know what size they are.

LSeven Picture Request

Hi,

LSeven requested pics of the car with its Pettit 99 spec front end and with the flares installed on the car with the gas tank cut out.

Here is a shot of the front end:



Here are several side shots showing the rear fender flares as well as the front end:

LSeven Pic Request - Fender Flares

Here are several shots of the rear fender flares with the gas tank cut out. I wasn't sure how I'd like the flares with the cut out but they are growing on me. Still think I'll paint the bolts black though.

I particularly like this first one:









Check out the reflections of the palm trees in the car paint. It's a beautiful sunny day in Jacksonville.

LOL! Let's wait until the engine is broken in and the dyno comes back with good results. Were you able to hook up with Tyler?

David,

yes, I spoke with him, we should be all set

I'm a little surprised Pettit went with the FMIC...I like the "V mount" set up since it doesn't block the radiator

OK, so it cost you $35k for the engine work only? Or did it include the massive tire/rim combo, the brakes, the flares, the intercooler? I am curious, your car looks awesome BTW, very clean.

Man, I've spent above $30k on another car before I had the RX, how I wish I had done this!! NOOOO!!
