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

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

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...

Terrified.
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.

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

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

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

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

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!!!!

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 ****** into the community 
pinkynuggit, you obviously haven't done your homework on 20Bs.
