No N/A rotaries in Japan since the SA so it has the stock Cosmo rotors in it.. Same as the FD and Koki FC. I might try to pick up some N/A FC rotors from the states for the next engine, but I don't see this one breaking for a long long time with the power it will be producing.

haha, between 300-400 hp, but I have no idea what it's going to make and this is my first N/A rotary so I'll have to wait and see... 350 would make me happy... I still need to weigh the car, but I'm going to guess that it's under 2200 lbs. Should make for a pretty pissed off go-cart...

How do you like the gear ratios of the Guru tranny? Are they suited well to your engine? Their ratios seem to be what I want but it's so expensive...

the taller 1st gear is great with the 20B's bottom end and it will easily keep you in the power band. If your going to do any long distance 5th gear driving you will become irritable and possibly tone def from the noise. All in all I love it and can't wait to beat the **** out of it...

I bought a used stillway shifter about a year ago before I left Japan. Picked it up for $200 shipped.

Try this website.

http://www.japanparts.com/

They have quit a bit of stuff on there site and can custom order just about anything you want. I've bought a couple things from them.

it looks to me the reason it got done so fast is there isnt much to the motor lol.....i really want to know how to change it to an na motor like that. so fresh and so clean. how do you do that someone need to do a write up I think we would see alot of three rotor na builds no.

damn, just watched the video cuz the computer at work doesnt have sound. She sounds real sweet with good response. And that dash/guage setup is definately sick, makes me want to find a non running fd.

^ Yes, I'm interested in what variation he's using, too.

EDIT: also, who's ignition setup is that?

What side skirts are those?

And I really like the lack of the rub strip, but keeping the indentation. It looks less cluttered that stock, but doesnt leave you thinking that somethign is missing. Excellent touch.

Awesome car, and you managed to really transform how the exterior looks with a few well placed, subtle things. It all works so well together, I am truly impressed.

Nice CAR, very cool. Wish you have some bigger pic.... Are you plan to race this FC ?

And is there any special reason you dont run with Air filter? It seen like a big trent in Jpan, for Either Track day car or street car? But from what I understand if you try to run Open Intake here in SCA's Race track, you will destory your engine in no time so please fab a air box or put a filer to protect this nicely done machine .... just my .02

Great looking and sounding car. This is an inspiration to us all. If only there was a good write up for making a 1.3 into a 2.0. I'd much rather have more rotars then a turbo.

There's no replacement for displacement!

Won't 300-400 hp be a little tough with low compression pistons. Also how aggressive was the port. Looks like your using the Tweak it setup for TBI?

Nah, low compression pistons won't matter in this setup.

why is that?

is it possible to reach 350whp with only porting, and exhaust and intake mods, and staying NA?


i am very curious to see a dyno of this monster. can we expect to see some numbers once the engine is broken-in ?
