I still want to see someone put a twin screw supercharged 20B in a C6 Corvette.

That would be different and cool.

[QUOTE]same money spent, with that same turbo, you would make ALOT more power
plus you need the torque to move a car like that[QUOTE]

Where the guy with the stock turbo stock block 20B that made 360+ HP and 425+ Tq at the wheels.

Damn, it never surprizes me to see how many people here lack a sence of humor and jusssst love to hate on others with their petty comments.

The guy has his 20B fully installed and running, who cares what it's in? I'd take a 20B in a rikkity 'ol van if it was installed,running, and looked like that engine bay!

Amazing...

I am one of the guys guilty of sticking a v8 in an Rx-7.

The 20b mustang does not bother me at all, I would love to drive that actually.

What some of the guys on here forget or do not know, is that most of us, v8 rx-7 guys, are not as anal as the rotary purists.

I don't think this will bother 90 percent of the rx-7 swappers, at least the ones I know.

hah thats so nasty! i love it!

Merc63 09-28-06 03:28 PM

As cool as that is, the 20B turbo weighs more than the 5.0 or 3.8 and the weight will necessarily be carried farther forward. The weight is about identical to a 4.6, but again, the weight is caried farther forward with the 20b, it's turbos, intercooler and oil cooler.

I'd much rather see that engine in a 2700 lb '65-66 Mustang fastback, just for uniqueness factor... ;)

Mustang facts
 
Here are some Mustang facts:

1994-2004 Mustangs are the same body style (SN95)

2004 MY Mustang Weights:

V6 Coupe: 3070lbs
V8 Coupe: 3317lbs
Cobra Coupe: 3665lbs

This is from the FoMoCo catalogue

Naegleria_Fowleri 09-28-06 07:20 PM

Have you gotten to check the weight of the car with the new engine in it?

And that is great, by the way. I always wanted to take a Vette and stick a rotary in it for revenge.

thafox 09-28-06 07:44 PM

damnit u beat me 2 it lol...i've been sayin that for a while now and have been wanting to do that for a while also, very badass swap tho man big time props for doing it an a big time 'pariba pa bajo pistones pal caraho' salute lol (up and down piston's go 2 hell is what it roughly translates to)

The weight you are quoting comes from the 1994 mustang body style.

wow :mad:

I WOULD STILL RIP OUT THE V8 AND STICK A 20B IN IT. I WOULD REDUCING ALOT WEIGTH WITH MORE HP. I CAN EASLY GET OVER 575 HP AND 480 FTLBS OF TORQUE.

pinknuggit 09-28-06 09:26 PM

so the 20B is suddenly made out of feathers, and it is lighter than a v6?

What gets me is all these guys on here saying they want to swap a rotary into a corvette for "Revenge"... the only people you will be getting revenge on is yourself after you end up with a slower car.. lol

A single turbo 20b will crush a c6 z06. Not exactly comparing apples to apples, but there it is.

theantirotor 09-28-06 09:29 PM

yeah, you guys don't seem to notice that about the only people that gets their pantys in a bunch is the die hard rotary fans when a v8 removes the soul from an rx-7

Well, it looks like I was off on the weights.

But SN95 was from 1994 to 1999. Year 2000 to 2004 or 5 is the body style pictured in this thread.

theantirotor 09-28-06 09:30 PM

soon enough someone will probably yank the rx-8's engine and stick a v8 in that too.

pinknuggit 09-28-06 09:32 PM

so a 20B vette > a C6 z06... according to who? all the bench racers?

Not only is it apples to oranges, but it's also way too vague to be honest about... because we all know that big turbos with lag on engines with less torque are way better on a road course!!!!

rolls eyes AGAIN :rolleyes:

GoodfellaFD3S 09-28-06 10:16 PM

Dropping a V8 into an RX-7 doesn't bother me too much, it's the fact that it seems to have attracted quite a few pricks into the community :)

pinkynuggit, you obviously haven't done your homework on 20Bs.

Boostmaniac 09-28-06 10:32 PM

No he hasn't.

At least there is finally a fast Mustang in the world ;)
