This Friday my car will start the process of going 3 rotor with a single turbo. If things go as planned the car will be done and ready to make a pass at the track on May 15th...

The heart is a fully built and polished 20B with a T-74gts single turbo hanging on the side. Custom FMIC, custom radiator...lot's of polish will be under the hood. It will be controlled by a Microtech LTX-12. Dual 20B fuel pumps will feed the fuel system.

Some of you may have seen this motor before. It belongs to a good friend of mine who has decided to do a trade with me. He gets my complete setup plus a bunch of cash and i get his complete setup. I will post pics and updates as the project progresses...

Here's a few pics....

Your a lucky man, looks like an awesome project. Beautiful engine!

 

Jebus-h! You should have used something bigger than a $10 bill.
Can't wait to see more!

Better bring that thing to some meets when its done

 

is that from derrick's car? (red fd)

 

It is from Derrick's car...been friends for over 20 years...

 

Very nice, Bill!

 

Very nice. Best of luck.

 

i didnt know him that well, just lived in the same town.(new braunfels).
Congrats on the awesome engine. If i can find my video camera I have some old footage of his car @ the track but I think it was w/ his old turbo setup.

 

Very cool. Good luck with the swap!

 

So if that's Derrick's old engine? What happened to Derrick's FD?

 

Derricks still has his FD...he's getting my setup...plus cash

 

I guess since you murdered an FD by putting pistons in it you can finally be forgiven.

 

She's done...It only took 4 weekends. I drove her out of the garage last Sunday. I am having the new front bumper, hood and East Bear headlights painted to match the car. I picked up the lights and bumper last week and the hood will be ready on Friday. Once i get back in town tomorrow i will pick up the hood and will put it all together on Saturday.

I am going to try and get it to the upholstery shop next week. All the plastic is brand new in the car and the door panels are custom. I am going to have them put a red stitch in the door panels and tranny tunnel cover. I will probably have a custom wrap made for the cage.

Car made 525rwhp at 12 psi on pump gas in Derricks car...everything from his car is now in my car so that power should be good for mid 10's. Next month we will tune the car for 20psi on Q16...looking for 700+rwhp...

 

A few pics...

 

Old hood and parts just sitting on the car...

 

Looks great, must be an awesome experience driving it.

 

Amazing. I can only hope to one day be able to do an N/A 20B swap into my FD.

 

Car looks really good man. Glad you got her finished. Hopefully I'll get to take a gander at it one of these days. It's definitely gonna turn out to be a monster

 

whoa.......that thing looks sweet! hope you have fun with it, hey where did you buy your lift?

 

Lookin good, Bill. I miss that hood!

 

Hey, Bill; did you get his licence plate, too?

 

The license plate is "7 BEAST"

Let me know if you want the hood. I will make you a great deal on it. I have a stock hood that i pick up from the paint shop tomorrow.

 

It looks real nice, I can't wait to start working on mine with work it's been hard to.
