3 rotor question?

Hey Guys,

is it possible to make a three rotor using all s4 TII housings and irons(but would use s5TII rear iron) and adding in the center plate? will the 20 b eshaft work, would I need a 20b front cover? Would the TII oil and water pump be sufficient?

you may have put this in the wrong spot. I'd suggest posting this in the 20B forum or ask administrator to move for you. Good luck.

basically no.

the 20B uses unique irons, with unique ports, and it has different through bolts than the 13B's. if you had a mill you could use 13B rear and center irons, but the ports would be weird, and you would need to make an intake.

the 20B uses S5 T2 rotors (same part number), so those work. if you use S4 you would need to rebalance, as the 20B has unique counterweights.

the 20B used unique rotor housings too, but any 86-03 housing will work, the cosmo had a different exhaust port insert designed to let more air pump air into the engine, so it could have a lower and more stable idle.

the 20B used a front cover that is like an S5 T2, so that would swap over.

i believe the FD and 20B had the same oil pump.

If I am going to make my own intake manifold all that matters is that the dimensions of the 20b and 13b components are the same and that the water jackets and holes for the through bolts on the 20b center plate match up with TII housings. Correct? It's basically a 13b engine with an extra housing and center plate.

I am looking at using

TII rotors, housings, irons, front cover

20b center plate, through bolts, e shaft

custom intake, exhaust, fuel rail
