20B FD Qs

[Rzla]

Why would you want the dull sound of a V8? The only thing that sounds worse than a V8 is the mopeds the chavs use.

cheers lads, might take my time and buy parts over the next year and get into the install in june 2010, no interest in v8s, sick of listening to them in oz

[Kash_]

It\'s not only the sound of a 3-rotor but plenty of power from a nice sized turbo

I love V8s. If I couldn\'t have a rotary I\'d want a big fat massive V8 monster. Crobba crobba crobba burble parp! I think they sound awesome. Just not sure an FD is the right place for one Ironic that Spartacus and others can do a V8 conversion for less money and aggravation seemingly than fitting Mazda\'s own 20B lump in, seems wrong somehow :confused:

you will struggle to buy parts over time,  as you will not know what you need until you come to that part of the project,  you could buy the essentials like clutch, but everything will have to made to fit once the engine is in and if you need manifolds etc then the fabricator is going to need the car as its will be a tight fit.  

I have helped build this project and built the engine, it made 490 RWHP on tuesday at 0.8 bar before the ecu gave up with a smallish turbo but give me phil goriahs LS7 FD any day.......... have you seen the size his new rear wheels.  

I heard phils car last week and it actually sounds very similar to the 20B.  People go on about the sound of a 20B but it sounds like a V8, plus,  most people on here have only heard a 20B on You Tube as there are only 4 or 5 in the country  :Hammer

This isnt an uptodate picture but you get the idea

Classic:evillaugh:Thumbsup!

[antnicuk]

when you gonna pop round phil,  i\'m still waiting for a passenger ride in your beast,  you can come out in the stylus if your brave enough

What ever you are smokin give me some!
It must be some really strong stuff to come up with such an unfactual comment as above.
Maybe your 20b sounds like a V8, but 99% of others don\'t lol. And a majority of people would agree that a 20B sounds like a beauty and the V8 a beast in comparison.
It\'s not that I don\'t mind a V8, it just does not belong in an RX7.
The R stands for ROTARY.
 
:flamed

[antnicuk]

not getting into the whole V8/Rotary argument...................

How many 20b\'s have you heard in the flesh?
