Mazda Cosmo 20b 3 rotar

[semograd]

I'm going to get one of these in very good shape, just wanted to know how popular these are, I'm assuming not many people heard of this car, I would probably have a hard time selling it after If I do decide to sell it.

I think the 3 rotar goes for 3k alone probably if I decide to part it out haah

They werent a very popular car for importing but i really like them. You should check out videos of mad mikes 20b rx7 fd I it sounds amazing.

[n1zm0]

there were a few here when the jdm import craze started in '05 around there, iirc they only come in auto? not sure about that tho.

[semograd]

yea, they only came in auto 4 speed, but I think it's more of a collectors car than any skyline since there is like 5 or less in whole alberta

swap the motor into an FD, for sure.

and 300ft/lbs of torque, and more engine to build power from. No one said it would be cheap, bashir ;)

I think people have stopped using the stock 20b as it sits because basically, any orginal 20b is 15 years old now and hard to rebuild properly, and have switched to an aftermarket Eshaft that lets you re-build the 20b's with 13b irons and such just sandwiched up. Not sure though, mabey that's just the performace builders.

it already comes with 300 hp, this is not 13b eh
20k later you would be making well over 550 at the rear wheels, you won't even need that much to make it 550 at the wheels

It's 20k to put the 20b into an fd. That is a stock engine with who knows how many miles on 'er.

When i worked at rx7 specialties, we had 5 20b engines come from japan. Every one of them had oil thick and black like tar, and all of them showed little to no compression on each chamber. Most of them are beat to shit, and not maintained, and if there is any engine you cant get away with no maintnance, its a rotary engine. They have trouble lasting on clean oil, nevermind the dirty shit that came in those ones.

Its quite costly to put a 20b into an FD. Rx7 specialties has a special subframe made just for that swap, and an added bonus is that it puts the engine in the perfect spot to be able to fit a t88 turbo and have about 1/4 inch of room. Then you may as well factor in a standalone, a good fuel pump setup, a decent exhaust, little bits and pieces here and there. We had one come from georgia to rx7 specialties, and i got to start it for the tuner and keep it running....and rev it a bit....my god what a sound.





If i were to build a 20b, it would be a costly but sweet engine.

Ianatti ceramic apex seals
