20b fd gt42r

My original intention was to build a 20b FC, but I ran across a FD that was too cheap to pass up. So I am now stuck with 2 FDs. The 1993 black FD I picked up will be getting the 20B conversion. Below are some pics of the turbo setup.

I'll post more pics as the progress grows.

-I'll be using the Defined Autoworks conversion kit.
-Elliot from www.turblown.net will be doing the manifold, vmount for intercooler, radiator setup and other misc fabrication.
-Glenn (Mazpower) from www.IllicitPerformance.com helped me stud and build the 20b motor. Stud kit was from Mazdatrix. Glenn and I will be finishing it all up between January-February.

The 2nd gen is being scratched and sold.

The motor has been ported alot. No brige or half bridge. The turbo setup is a GT42R Vband setup 1.0a/r turbine 74mm compressor. I was looking for low turbo lag and a target of at least 500 HP. I will be doing methanol injection on the 20b as well.













The motor in the above pics are a mock up motor.

It's for sale. $1500 with no engine, no trans, no sway bars. Has a Ferrari red paint job, comes with 3 different hoods (TII, NA, and Mad Max hood).

You should see it for sale by Sunday.
