20B into 1st Gen
Anybody know any shops in the states that sell a conversion kit??? I know you cna pretty much buy a bolt in setup back in Australia, which I may end up doing... either that or a 13b turbo Cosmo...

Probably, since all of us 1st and 2nd gen guys are too cheap to spend the kind of outrageous money that Petit charges. When I was looking for a 3rd gen at one time, I drove down to Tulsa to test drive one of Petits newly rebuilt engines. The poor kid spent 11k for a full rebuild and the reliability mods. After all that, his net hp was 330. I don't know what this 'poor little' rich kid spent on buying the car, but it still needed more work, lol.
I guess I'm the antithesis to Petit since I won't work on the 3rd gens.

besides i think the cosmo 13b turbo is the easier and better solution... not just price but bolting in... I know I can get a 5-600hp engine built and ready to run/bolt in from Australia through a few builders over there that I trust from back in the day I used to drive rotories all the time... this is my project car that will be done over the next 5yrs or so...
seeing I got a mint (99%) rust free 84 GSL-SE... for $400 then sold the engine and gearbox back to the seller about 4mths later for $300ish... I have a project for $100....
