Hey guys, I just wanted get my first post under my belt and say hey. I'm new to the rotary scene, but i've been building performance (piston) engines for old resto-mods for many years now. I do complete frame off restorations and custom resto mods for huge range of vehicles.
I'm am currently in the design process of a completely custom high performance mid-engine street car. I've been trying to figure out the best engine for the job. Looking for something thats high reving with plenty of power, but needs to be reliable. I'm hear to really learn more about the performance capabilities of the 20b, 3 rotor. I believe that the 20b could be a good base and ill be able to get the performance im looking for, out of it. I'm sure you all will be very helpful with my research as you have already been helpful. Thank you in advance.
