That's the same pump I plan on using.

Would you offer a discount if I don't need the waterpump tensioner arrangement ? I Run an electric Waterpump on my 13b and wouldn't need it.

If I bought an engine in USA and had it posted to you could you do the mods to the parts and then post on to me in the UK ? What kind of cost would that be ?

How much would a replacement FD rack cost at your end ?

Cheers, trying to weigh up options at the minute between this initially N/A or a large single on my current 13bREW.

Yes there will be a discount if you are not needing the tensioner assembly. I can do any mod you need and then send it out to you, not a problem!

depends on what all you do I guess. If you buy a 20b, the average price has been about 4k, end up rebuilding, porting, probley drop another 4k+, this kit 3k, depending on what ecu you go with you could spend upwards of 3k+, figure most if not going with a NA end up spending 4k+ on a larger single, etc, etc and it starts adding up quick. Not to mention if you someone who will have to have someone else do the labor you could look at another couple of grand there at least.

Bump for the pictures please. Just a note since Speedsource has been racing their 20B RX-8 (and won) I have noticed alot of 20B parts on Mazdacomp. The only crazy price I noticed was for the eccentric shaft.

How many kits have been sold to date? Yet no one has posted pics of their project using your "kit"? I'd love to see some pics. Anyone?

I too am very interested in conversion. But also living in Australia. So also the supply of the part that generally need to sent in to be modified can you supply with kit. I am very serious and keen to get this under way. Is there some pics of this conversion.

Yeah, we can build any type of custom exhaust manifold that you would need.

I can supply the parts and just send it all out, it takes a little bit of time for me to collect the cores, but its not hard to do. The cost would be $450 or so higher.
