An RX4 bell housing would fit a 20b but the later FC Turbo models onwards gearboxes run a larger flywheel so have more friction surface the clutch to grip.

Sorry, you guys know the series 5 RX7 as the second version of the FC RX7 model. It is often related to in Australia as First Gen RX7 as Series 1,2 and 3 Second Gen (FC) Series 4 and 5 and Third Gen (FD) as 6,7 and 8.

We use that to. We usually just say "S5" though.

Haven't had much time to work on it lately. I have decided to remake the dump pipe it came a bit too close to the brake lines.

I am chasing a throttle body so I can make a start on the water to air intercooler setup.

Plus I said yes to make a 20b turbo manifold for a guy in Melbourne but it's extra cash and I learned a few things from making mine.
