Ive always wanted to build one… but it seems that the popularity of them has dropped off the face of the earth now that LSX swaps are so common… there is a 20b on ebay right now for 3500 bux… ---

Add another $10k to that $3500, easily. Plus $10-20k for an FD. ---

If you check out [rx7club.com](http://rx7club.com), you’ll see there’s still quite a few guys with 20B ambitions and some are still in the process of doing the swap. Most people don’t realize all the work that goes into them and start the build, but then run into problems or run low on funds. So are they still being built? Yes, but like Brent said, it would be safe to set aside another $10k-$15k for the swap so that it’s done right the first time. You would save yourself a bit doing some of the work yourself, but there’s still going to be quite a few expenses. ---

The super ported ones sound dope. The NA 4-rotor builds sound SUPER DOPE. Im still loling at viper inquiring cause there is a $3500 20b. Brahski there are vendors that sell them for that every day of the week. Also if you read into it there are different types of 20b’s and you are not getting a good one for that price more like 5-7k. ---

Im not saying i wanted to build one… Im out of the major car building game for a bit, hence why i bought the m5 I was just browsing ebay for FD stuff while on a conf call and ran across the 20b and it got me thinking is all about how i dont see any 20b builds as frequently as im seeing LSX stuff lately ---

3 rotors pretty much go for 3 to 5k for the eninge. problem is u need an ecu made for the engine because that engine in japan only comes in the mazda cosoms, which happens to be “luxury” back then and only comes as a 4spd auto ☹ then u need an fd trans and all that stuff. i looked into it all… if your going to spend that much time on the set up and tuning. go for the 4 rotor…ftw the good pulls are like 2 minutes in ---
