thewird's 20B Track Beast Project Finally Started :D

So I finally picked up my 20b this morning. Started tearing it down and ended up doing the full teardown today lol. I'm the proud owner of block C143. I hit the jackpot with this block, everything is mint on it. Anyway, I'll let the pics do the talking, I'm dead tired...

If I had everything I needed and TIME to work on it, I could probably have it running in a few weeks. But realistically, I don't expect it to be running until winter time hehe. When the cold comes, my schedule will free up since no more tuning . I'm gonna be making a trip down to the states in October to get the engine machined to fit bigger studs since I don't want to be worried about the block cracking when I decide to push the boost (20+ psi).

This project should be named "Is it in yet?" because I really really want to see this completed Marco. Best of luck I hope everything goes smoothly.

...oh... and that's what she said.

Your welcome to join in. A buddy and I are planning on staying there for the weekend to go to a drag racing event (Raceway park Fall nationals, october 5-7) to see some high hp rotaries. That way when we leave, the parts will be ready making it one trip only. I'm not really into the dray racing but hey, 1000+ hp rotaries!

I think you've been watching too many of Aaron Cake's build videos, lol.

Awesome looking project, 20b builds are the things dreams are made of. I can't wait to see how this project goes. Care to share some details on what your plans are for it? You mentioned 20psi, what's your turbo setup going to look like?

True large streetport with a GTX4202R /w a Tial 1.15 A/R housing. I'm gonna be running it at 16 PSi for a while and see how the tranny holds up at the track.

Got the shaft separated today, I thought it would be difficult but it was extremely easy. A few light taps with the hammer and it popped right up.

More pics! Notice how everything looks new on this motor

I'm impressed and looking forward to seeing this come together.

One question:

Who did you get your motor from?
