Mazda 20B Wankel
Sequential twin turbo 280 HP @ 6500 rpm 287 ft lbs of torque Not a cheap engine $4000 used JDM, but cheaper than Subie STI, Porsche 6 and others Thinking about removing the V8 and re-geared tranny and going with this setup. Any thoughts? Anyone need a V8 setup?  |

Ooooo, an older SBC with FI. What setup? How could you tire of that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Do you have any pics of how you ran the coolant tubes? One thing I have not found any information on as of yet is how to hook up a heater core arrangement, let alone A/C.

If you were to rig a T fitting into the water supply and return lines, you could supply water to a heater core. Early american cars used a mechanical water diverter valve for the heaters (Ebay). 65 Mustang heater cores should fit into the fresh air box, with a little work. They are as cheap as $15. The A/C... I'm thinking factory 914 stuff with the exception of the compressor, GM. I'll try and take some pics. |

VW Rabbits use a very simple valve to turn on or off the coolant to the heater core, and it will have a VW logo on it.... |
