Quote from: Mir;734585As said without prejudice

I hope u r right, but I m afraid that I m not convinced.. It has been mentioned that there is 680bhp v8 so let c if I ever had a race with her. My car need to come out for running in may b next week, I m running a smaller turbo to run it in and waiting for some cash to change my ecu from microtech to motec..if by that v8 680bhp was there I would love to test my car out with it-just c wat v8 would do with my 20b..
As I mentioned above in the first line I m doing this conversation not to cause anyone any offence, just airing my opinion...that\'s all really
hope no one is getting offended by my coments.
Regards

I dont think anyone will be offended with what you say at all, im not, infact i think people may be jealous of you having a 20B because i am

Quote from: Grant Monkhouse;734586Well if we look at the peak performance of a rotor and a piston engine, we have the 787B in rotary corner and either a formual1 car or the audi lemans diesels in the other, which would win? these are the peaks of performance and the piston would win every time, if only rotaries had the same develpoment as what the piston engines have had instead of the aftermarket doing the development with little money.

Does a diesel engine have pistons?? If the diesel engine have pistons, I would c ur point..but if not then Audi diesel should not b compared with rotor as we r comparing piston v rotor..so far I m aware diesel don\'t have pistons, it has taputs or something they call it.. As far formula one is concerned, v can\'t compare it coz apperantly it\'s a formula 1 car made for desired purpose I.e racing,,not a rotor or v8 which is driven on road.. Don\'t b jealous of me, I m very down to earth.. Will meet u some day..

I will look forward to meeting you some time. Diesels do have pistons unless they have redesigned them? they go uppy downy so must be a piston?
a little bit off point but there was a rotary engine designed for a tank that would run on diesel and any form of fuel that could be used if they ever ran out of diesel

Is your 20b finished now Syed? I\'ll have to come to some meets just to have a look at it as it sounds mighty fine :cheers. In a perfect world i\'d like a 20b, a V8 and also a GTR engined FD3s.

dave your throwing petrol on this fire adding an rb26 into the mix... lol

Some pics of mine in progress !! Give me a ring if you want some info on a v8 conversion
You could also speak to Matt Saab on fduk who actually drifts a v8 fd and get some real info , or Craig winstanly who ran one in time attack Craig 07950399080

skybusr34 · December 30, 2010, 10:58:24 PM

quite possibly the nicest looking intercooler to intake pipe i`ve seen in a rex lol

tinker-27 · December 30, 2010, 11:00:24 PM

Anyway 1000hp let\'s raise the stakes a bet two gt35s @ 1 bar on a 7 litre motor what do you think ?

tinker-27 · December 30, 2010, 11:02:30 PM

The turbo to intercooler pipes are titanium as well ( although I need to remake them as they hit the rad !!! 6 hours wasted !!!)

rx7boy · December 30, 2010, 11:19:10 PM

Craig that things is going to be an absolute weapon !! I do find these V8 threads go round and round, yes its a shame to see the rotary being ditched, but hey if any engine to replace it then let it be a V8 !!

tinker-27 · December 30, 2010, 11:23:06 PM

All joking aside surely it\'s better to convert it than break it as so many seem to be doing

Hi Dave

Unfortunately, its not ready yet!! Will be ready God\'s willing next week or so...my previous rebuild was f**** up just because of the tunning, however; this time I am taking no chances that is why its taking more time...Pip at WGT is doing some magic so see what he can bring me...a 1000bhp as hoped or less!!!

Where abouts you live Dav, as you know I have to do running of the car any way so I might just pop over to you have a quick chat and then off I go??

I like the way you mentioned 20B (above) before all those piston engine lollll:cheers

I am undecided with the Gear Box at the moment as I want to keep OS Giken\'s gears in the FD trane, but people are suggesting otherwise so see how I go about that....I hate putting a gear box on my car which is not of a rotary box i.e. Vipers box etc etc...

Will meet you any way, waiting on the delivery of the car..:3gears-rh

Regards
Syed
