a 600hp 20b would lighten it up and maybe improve weight distribution. But a 600hp 20b would be sweet in any car.

 

This thread keeps drawing people to it. It's like the hotel california. We can check out but we can never leave

 

Im not so sure that a 20b is lighter than a SBC, or a small block ford. I've yet to compare...... though I bet it could go either way.

 

A 13B turbo engine (complete) would weigh slightly less than a SBC and a lot more than a 2.8 V6.

20B would weigh more than a small-block and less than a big-block.

 

Yeah but in here"SHE" drives a Camaro not a Benz.

 

450SEL... now THERE's a yacht for a 20B swap.

 

I am planning on doing a rotary swapped 69 with an fd style suspension and fiberglass panels to save weight. then again mine is going to be a track car...a complete cuatom build not just a swap...but v8 **** swap their shitty engines into our cars and justify it why cant we swap our engines into their "legendary muscle cars" and justify it? Im going to. because I wanna see the v8 fanbpys cringe when they hear the brap brap instead of the sound of inefficiency come from under the hood...or the whine of a 3 rotor with a rather large turbo on it...itll be an expensive build but totally worth it and very unique in the end...

 

Man you brought a 9 year old thread back from the dead. But yeah I agree with you. If they want to basterdize our cars with v8's, back at em.

Someone already beat you too it though. https://www.rx7club.com/old-school-other-rotary-63/1974-13b-re-nova-727207/

 

OK I registered just to set this straight, 13 years later just because when I Googled "20b rotary camaro" and this is what I got.

First off, the camaro is a TERRIBLE platform. There's a reason so many more fox mustangs hit the strip every weekend than third gen camaros. The same job that takes 45 minutes in a fox takes 2 hours on a tg.

Case in point, in yanking the 305 from my rs, we had TO FABRICATE a CUSTOM WRENCH for ONE bolt which ate TWO days, and lots of trial and error

The engine bay is TIGHT, almost ALL simple jobs suck, and it BEGS for a smaller engine.

I can't in good conscience run the same v6 in my performance touring car as I do in my trooper 4x4, so what are the options?

When we came up w the 20b idea, it was like a moment of genius. A t5 can wayyy take n/a rotary torque, and a nice n/a build could net 275-300 HP, very comparable to even the stoutest V8's of 1988. And at a very Ferrari like engine speed!

The slim 3 rotor seems perfect to solve at least the underhood issues inherent in the cars design. The rest of the car stays as poorly engineered as ever however, and u gotta love the car or something (eg just be a dork like me)

In the end it'd be a very comfortable tourer for two, with a GIANT luggage space, good handling, and a retro sporty thing that's kinda cool if it looks showroom stock. It'd also be be great to drive.
