20B RX-7 first start up - videos up now

[Rotary]

yeah probably an idea mate, and it'd save your server bandwidth too

Ok.. have spent all night trying to find a free converter, anyone help? Know of a good program? I have tried converting these avi's to divx, no go.

As for server bandwidth, doesn't matter as i have unlimited bandwidth.

If anyone knows of a good free avi to mpg converter though so that I can then convert to divx, please let me know

Just got some new videos up, car was to be blue plated today but failed due to too loud and no cat. In this videos car is only reving to around 1500 rpm

My car was just "blue plated" on friday, which means it has an engineers certificate.

Just need the RWC which will be done tomorrow and than wiith any luck it will be registered tomorrow.

So what is the power potential of a (streetable) NA 20B?

Now, when are we going to see some vids of this thing being driven in anger?

It should put out around 300-350 fly hp with the extend going on what other people have made. I'm expecting around 300.

When it's run in Prob take me a while at these fuel prices

[Datto-Zed]

Nice.

Any idea what the 20B weighs without the turbos?

No idea, around 20 kilos heavier than a 13B I'd guestimate

Well finally got the car rego'd this morning, it passed engineers on Friday and is now rego'd.

It's hard to hold back while running it in.. just feels like it wants to go.

All that is left to do now is find a decent size accelerator cable

Might be worth trying a boat builder as they use nice stainless steel ones for the steering on boats and can make ones up to any length

Haha Andrew, i had the same problem running the bike in, but it was worth it afterwards to wind it out to 11000 odd rpm :D

[Rotary]

Anyone want a listen to it

[SuperNaf]

Can i choose option B ie actually going in this weapon? :D Oh btw im on holidays next week so if your free ill pop over and catch up.

Sure can, prob best once it is run in though

Just an update I have put up on the site..

The car is now blue plated (engineered) and road registered. As you can see from the videos it doesn't sound like a turbo 20B, it has its own unique sound. I get a lot of people asking what's under the bonnet, from people thinking Chev V8s to one bloke saying it sounds like a F3000.

A lot of people are asking what it is like to drive. As this stage I am still running it in, but have to say it is very impressive. It is a totally different car to drive from my old 13B bridge ports. A 20B with 4.4 diff gears makes for plenty of torque. No more starting off in first gear unless it's a very steep incline, you can if you want take a corner in 4th at 40km/h and it will pull out of the corner effortlessly.

Just got off the phone to Craig Dyson

With new intake, my 20B extend port NA has just run 295 rwhp

What a difference!

The car is a LOT more responsive, a little harder to get off the line quickly

Cannot roll and floor it in first otherwise wheelspin & rev limit, same with change from 1st to second

It has a little less torque down low, not hugely noticable, but the way the car revs now is very noticable, same with the throaty induction it now has

Here are a couple of pics of the new setup
