Was just browsing the net and came across this!

 

mmmm.....look at all the space left over....nice

 

bad ***

 

The Toyota Cosmo.

 

Cosmoyota.

 

what does the soarer weigh compared to the cosmo?

 

 

you mean soarer, right buddy?

 

Sam **** different day, what everspelling floats your boat mate.

 

I actually would not mind owning one of those.

 

from browsing around ... its quite a steep price tag step to go from a 3 rotor to a 4 rotor. And no i don't mean labor i mean just the price of the block. A 3 rotor can be bought for around 4-5k$ compared to 4 rotors of around 15k$ from what i've been seeing ..

 

ya much steeper because its complete custom. Well e Shaft etc. And was never a production motor. So were alot of uniqueness and pricetag come into play.

20b nowhere as popular as the 13b , but was available stock in car. So a bit easier to get.

Either way, very nice !!!!

 

This Was A Mustang That Was At National Mazda Day In Puerto Rico.(mustangs Suck But....its Rotary!!)

 

lol....yes! a mustang guy finally figured it out!Now for the rest of them! :P

 

I wonder what the wieght distribution after the swap?

 

brown is so sweet. this is a repostx2 or 3, but the car is so nice i dont care.

 

Thats funny its usually the other way around.

 

I wonder what weighs more, the 3 rotor or the 2JZ, because power-wise, you'd be dumb to put that in there over the 2JZ.

 

haha tru

 

I don't know, man, the 20b is pretty potent too- there was a vid of someone getting 1700hp from one, which iirc, is about the highest hp 2jz made so far.
2jz=20b

 

But how long do those rotors last vs. the 2JZ? Also, as the tachometer goes up on the 20b, the gas gauge goes down. I'm really just not sure about this swap.

 

I'd like to see a video of that..Prolly sounds sick

Titan Motorsports put down over 2200hp on a stock 2jz block (not bottom end) but it wasn't in a supra. I really don't think you can compare the 20b to the 2jz simply because of reliability. A stock bottom end 2jz can last forever making 800whp. I don't think a 20 could do that even if it were built. I'd say a if both were built, a 800hp 20b would be about the same as a 1500hp 2jz (reliability wise).

BTW why is the 2jz in question here? Soarer's came factory with a 1jz

 

I know that, but most people do 2JZ swaps into Soarer's, and it's a LOT more straight forward.

 

Agreed

I admire the fact that they did the swap just because it was different as much as I do Top Secret putting a RB26 in a Supra but like you said...A 2JZ would be a lot more simple and practical. The Japanese seem to love rotaries. Every time I've gone over there for the Tokyo Auto Salon, the most popular car there was either a FD or GTR.
