Hey TMann I don't remember if I asked before, but did you also make the back end wider to fit the 20B in there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMann Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 No. The front profile of the 20B is the same as the 12 & 13B. If you check out most installations the transition is smoother. No bumps to allow for cylinders & heads of the traditional engine.

TMann Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 That is correct. In my opinion, adding a turbo only complicates the arrangement. The attraction I have towards the Rotary is it's mechanical simplicity. I don't intend to corrupt that simplicity by adding additional complexity and points of failure. Just my choice is all.
