20b N/A FC, discuss..

B.Martin · August 09, 2011, 09:18:01 PM

Is a 20B more reliable than a 13B turbo? I doubt it matey, no turbo but extra rotor to worry about. It all comes down to the difference in price really mate, what will it cost to repair the 13B? Probably be a lot lot less than a 20B transplant.

But if your happy to spend the cash, there can\'t be many 20B PP FC\'s about!

Just get a 13b, the cost of a 20b would probably be about 3 engine rebuilds and thats before you get the 20b to run lol RHDjapan were selling crate 20b engines last year ie Mazda OEM off the shelf engines, Â£14k each

Btw, DO NOT damage a Cosmo to get a 20b!

N/A should be less problematic than 13b turbo, less to go wrong. 20B is pricey but it\'s just a great motor.

No way would you need to pay that much for ITB\'s, sure you could use some bike carbs with really BIG jets anyway? Even if you had to use 6 cars ( 2 per rotor) it\'ll be a hell of a lot cheaper.

Probably the price of a bespoke component, a lot of this esoteric stuff is way pricey when new and aftermarket - like you I like to rob the great big parts pin that is the 2nd hand market.

Bike ITB\'s may be a bit on the small side - unless you go with the semipp idea.

dont see many 20b cosmo.. a few 13b re cosmo though.
maybe 20b parts should be collected in prep for this 13bt to blow lol

Will66 · August 10, 2011, 01:36:22 PM

It would give you time to save up for it too!

It\'s a good plan Liam, bet you could source them from Japan for a much better price than the uk. Even easier if it\'s a steady thing, get a list of what you need and then your good to start collecting!
