3 Rotor 20B FD in the build, getting there!!

[antnicuk]

Come on Normski,  lets ee some pictures of yours then!!

We build our 20b engine last night,  its the first tripple we have done,  it was quite straight forward but done in reverse to a 13b.

He are some pics,  as you can see everything is getting polished to within an inch of its life, so even it doesnt go well, it will look good! :p

Still lots to do as we are going back to a manual gearbox until we get the engine and supercharger set up.  Then when we destroy the manual we will get a strong auto.  Its too difficult to set all the unknowns with an engine and a gearbox at the same time.

some pics are duplicated from another post..

Good work fella, when will it be ready to show off what it can do?

[nikp]

May be a silly question, i don\'t know. But why is there a bigger gap between the rotor housings of the top one and the middle one, as there is between the bottom on and the middle one?

[antnicuk]

its because you have the stationary gear and centre bearing in there.

Looking really good that guys. What kinda power do you think it will put out and are you going to let us all have a go? :rollin

What are the 2 smaller coolers in the top right pic? (either side of the big one)

[antnicuk]

the two either side of the main rad (long thinones) are charge coolers for the water in the charge cooler,  these are connected to the two smaller ones on top of the main rad as well.  Th square ones at the far left and right are replacement oil coolers. (from a cosmo)

Not sure on power, as much as possibly but 500 atw would be nice at 1 bar.

allowed to drive it............... unlikely!

WOW :god If only i had the oppertunity and time to pop up and see whats involved. Would love to have some hands on in a rebuild... yet alone a 20B rebuild:)

[antnicuk]

engines in, although i havent done much myself as i have been working

Even with the rad and the fans right at the front of the car the supercharger wouldnt fit on the front of the engine with out hitting the fans so we moved the engine back as you can see.  It was moved over 5 inches back and an in and half lower. Which means even though its a tripple, the front of the engine sits behind the steering rack which is nice.

Its completely custome made engine mounts.  Still lots of pipe work to be done but we are still waiting for the throttle body.

There is now almost 24 inches between the rad and the front of the engine.

Anyone know anybody who will polish an Alternator?,   our one looks out of place now!  Its not an FD one so cant swap for a polished FD one.

EXCELLANT WORK GUYS,

Hope it goes like stink !!!!

PS - i think Ross has a polished alternator ?  :cheers

[antnicuk]

This is what the engine will look like when done although everything needs polishing properly,


The new throttle body is fitted.  Its 105mm ID, thats a 4inch pipe going to it.
