20B project isn't for someone with light pocket.. Trust me, I have 2 of them and to do it right, I'm planning to drop some serious money. Not only that, I been talking and searching for past 2-3 years. I'm finally getting the short block completely built this summer/fall... if I'm lucky.
This is what I say to people... And i'm sure others might agree... Think about why you want to do this.. If your goal is street drive your car and make 300-400, then save your money and spend it somewhere else... If you tried different things and now 20B is the only thing left for you to do, GO for it!! Drop some serious cash and do it right.... Otherwise, its not worth tempting.... there are far better ways to spend your money then on 20B and half ass build it so you could say you have a 3 rotor in it..

What has been said above, I totally Agree With, How Much do you want to spend???? Coz the 20b is a money pit.
I did put a 20b in a series 4 convertable, I Do regret selling it, but life goes on ...lol..
First-- Unless you have a know how to nut out engineering type problems, Don't try doing it yourself, But if you are going to Pay someone to do it-- you will spend $$,$$$-- case of note-- I did everthing my self-- It cost me $10,000, a guy who owed a bussness where I use to live, spent around $30,000 plus, GAVE UP, NEVER GOT IT RUNNING.
You will need-- new engine mounts, a ECU (mircotech ltx12s is what I used), are you going single, or using the little twin turbos-- if you are using the twins-- it is cheaper--but a bit of work has to be done on the Manifolds, Gearbox, drive Shaft, coils (you will need 6 of them), Radiator, intercooler, etc, etc
Ita a Big Project, I wouldn't even think about it unless you have a spare $15 k sitting around, and the motor you get, Will prob. need a re-build.
Don't get me wrong, the 20b is (in my opinion) the best rotor, and I would love to get another one to drop in my rx8, but like I said above--its a money pit.
