as the topic why would any1 would wanna get a 20b when u can have the same amount of power from a 13b. i was jus reading sumwhere cant remember where but a 20b maxes out at 1200whp....a 13b would can do the same....so wuts the big hype about?

 

More rotors, bearings, oil, water etc to take the beating = less stress
At those hp# i doubt anyone takes reliability into consideration

 

no turbos over 300hp at the wheels w/ a street port and higher comp. rotors. enough said.

 

show me one dyno sheet from a 1000+ hp 13b. just one.

 

Simple rule, there's no replacement for displacement. Ask yourself this question, would you rather have 500 hp with a 5.7L engine or 500hp with a 2.4L? Which one do you think would be more durable in the long run and have more torque for better drive ability?

 

how much is a 20b to be install n built in the car

 

if you have to ask, you can't afford it

 

I actually hate replies like this. It's not too expensive provided your capable of doing some things yourself and you take the necessary time to properly research the conversion.

 

didnt answer my question tho.. i know its expensive stupid ***.. you could just give me a str8 answer instead of being a dick

 

i would have if you weren't being a bitch.

~15-20k to do it up nice

 

Damn I hate that, can't find my dyno sheet for my friends 74 Corolla 2 door seadn Green with 13BT making 996 RWHP, car is in Australia, named kermit, owner was Dr Gavin Jensen.

If you can do most of the custom work yourself~ 30-40k if you want a turnkey

 

i've done 3 rotor swaps for less than half that. 30-40k is enough to get you a superbling monster

 

first, rx7 doesnt need a lot of torque coz it weighs so less

second, i couldnt find 1200whp but i did find http://www.catenet.net/graph.php?car...1&SUBMIT=GRAPH, in which there is an rx7 putting out 650whp which i think is pretty good coz it prolly runs 6-7 secs on a 1/4mile, im not sure about the fastest 20b but it cant be a lot better than that....n as far as the reliability goes....no1 cares about that if they are aiming for that high whp numbers...

also, wouldnt it be great if we can have sumthing like spoon or forged aluminum or titanium rotary block...jus imagin the possibilities.

 

2700-3k lbs isn't exactly light...

 

ya for real, most of the small sports cars (i use the term loosely) lik civic, integra, arent significantly heavier, otary owners all seem to think the fc is a crotch rocket or somethin

 

650 isn't exactly 1200. It's not even close. And there is no way it runs a 6-7 second quarter mile. It says in the specs on the car it weighs 2600 pounds. Actually now that I think about it I shouldn't have even replied.

 

Kermit ran 9.9 at 650 hp, before the BIG turbo, at Calder Park in Melbourne.

 

so everyones saying 20Gs to put in a 20b .....hmmm theres no cheaper way???

 

sure there's a cheaper way, but why do something half-***?

 

I like crispeeds(sp?) curve. What,s up with that?! I want to know what he has going on. All the way to 10k?!

 

It depends, which one is lighter, smaller/compact and cheaper and easir to rebuild?

 

It's size advantage would be no advantage if you over stress the smaller engine therefore causing more frequent rebuilds which in turn can be even more expensive.

 

Way to just post a bunch of bullshit, lol.

 

20b = more torque, and quicker revving... Take a 500HP 13b car and a 500HP 20b car both with identical chassis and weight except for the 20b car being slightly heavier due to the engine. Do a pull from 40mph to 100mph I bet the 20b car will win every time.

Racing Beat makes aluminum side housings, so this is possible already. You will need deep pockets for them, but supposedly they don't wear at all. I may be using them in my next project.
