Title: triple rotor engine swap?
Post by: jamie_eaton on January 22, 2005, 01:23:50 AM
is there anyone in the uk who could do this and supply the triple rotor engine?
how much roughly would it be to exchange mine for one of these?? a bit much to ask i know but ive allways wondered.

I suspect most of the Engine builders could do it for you & supply an engine. I know there are a few homeless 20b engines lurking at the moment (20B boy) but it is a very costy thing to do.

Cheapo horrid 20b FD will go you £10K easy and may well ruin a nice driving RX7 IMO. Still interested?

Couple of K for a 20B to rebuild for starters. Do a search, this gets asked every now and then. There is a load of stuff that you wont consider before you are up to your neck in it :) Its

Or go to rx7club.com - a couple of US tuners quote $35-40k to do it all in. Equate that to what you would get charged here and cry!

EDIT: and Mark\'s right I have a couple of 20Bs, one of which I would probably let go for the right price, but tbh I\'m not actively trying to sell either :D

That will be the pretty cheap version too, stock cosmo turbos, manifolds and moving of the steering rack I would imagine.
