S14.3BRE

The car was designed so that a 20b will bolt directly into this. Making the hassle worth while for both engines. I didn't want to do 20b (yet?) for the fact that the amount of money spent vs power needed a 13b turbo fit the criteria better. A 13b is comfortable around the 400-500hp range. Also produces less heat and less weight.

that is art and it look great

Thats what I wanted to hear - good shit. Those are good numbers so far for the boost range... What you cranking it up to when all said and done?

16psi is really the most I'm going to run for now. Don't really need much more power.

zenkistck

that is very nice

Hello gents ,Im a lil late to the party here. I am in the process of puting a 13B-RE Cosmo in my S13. My reasons for this are ,much lower center of gravity,the weight loss Vs SR is only minimal(60-80lbs guessing),but it is ditributed much better. On my setup the engine is 98% behind the front cross member, only the front iron & related components are ahead of it.

As far as 400 being a cake walk for an SR that may or may not be true ther are aloooooot more parts to buy to get to that point & do it correctly VS a rotary. Of course it helps alot when you know how to port & assemble your own stuff. I think the amount of jack asses blowing up SRs & rotarys is a close race ,all for the same reasons poor tuning & poor parts selction & poor upkeep.

Also all this talk of the rotary being a non reliable motor is all garbage,MAZDAs racing history was built on the fact that these motors were very reliable in a road race setting. Just the pure nature of drifting is very hard on these motors. The problem is all of these "Import Tuners" out there that dont even understand basic 4 stroke principals let alone how to extract reliable HP from a rotary. Not that Im so guru or anything . Just my .02

How far along are you on the build?

HyperTek

Rotary swap 240sx , id make that bish street legal.. then you have street legal SR20 territory without the stress and worry from cops

I didn't forget anything.

Rotaries are FAR less reliable than sr's.

It's not even an opinion.



I fucking love rotaries and have owned two of them

but you look at that thing wrong and it goes into fuck-mode.

Maximamike

No need for a 3 rotor. We got one of these, things pretty bad ass. It broke the other day, probably will require an engine change. No bullshit.

Grenade180sx

this wouldnt happen to be peter would it ? the car looks way familiar

GtoRx7

yes you're right its Peter.

Monooxide

Why are people still so dense when it comes to torque?

Let me guess, a Formula 1 car is a piece of crap because it doesn't have a near 1 to 1 torque ratio...right? I mean it revs to 20,000 RPM with all of its 2.4L fury only producing roughly 185 foot pounds at redline. With peak torque probably settling in around or below 300 foot pounds.

I think a lot of you guys need to do some learning and figure out how the HP number is derived...it couldn't be a mathematical equation or anything could it...

RPM is your friend, you need less torque and boost to create large amounts of horsepower. The "car" world needs to realize this rather than bashing a car because it has "low" torque.

murda-c

yeah but more torque=more fun.

500hp 500tq>500hp 300tq

Yes I agree is more fun

Wow a P20 carb. That thing sucks some fuel.

I remember an article in one of the mags a few years ago about a guy at some shop swaping his FD RX-7's 13b rotary for an SR because he got tired of it breaking.

Cool points for being different though.

Silverbullet

it is a drift car? I guess he never got the memo that you want torque for drifting =)

cool project though.

Cool...this car has maybe been to one event all year. Fuck yeah bro, purpose built drift car that never sees the track, gtfo.

We have been too busy to race. Sorry. Customers come first, but not everyone understands that I suppose.

trsilvias13

still more torque than a stock sr and a stock ka that ppl drift with right?

Creizai

He's a great driver use to drift back in the day project elite boys. He works at a Rotary shop around cbus so it makes sense. Cool guy missed the car though crashed too fast.. I bought the shell of his friend loun lol.

Shit didn't see he is posting in here lol....

s13dan

Iv seen my share of SR's in Rx-7's so i geuss its there turn. cool
