my turn for a 20B... finally...

[lt1_fd3s]

So I'm going to see how this goes... I'm not typically one for a build thread. That is mainly because I forget to post updates as they happen and/or forget to take pics to show progress... not to mention delays in projects that I know annoy people trying to follow along with a build thread... the delays end up annoying me too and i'm the one doing my projects!!!

But, I'm going to see how this works out for me this time... hopefully this will help me keep moving forward on the project.

So... at DGRR 2013 I had the crazy idea that I would do a 20B! I already have a v8 FD... I've had it for years and I'm known for having it... I've also had a rotary FD and a handful of rotary FCs... so my original idea was to do a 20B project over the next year, keeping it as quiet as i could and then just show up with it at DGRR 2014... well, that plan didn't work out... and the other deadlines i tried to set for myself didn't work out either... so yeah, glad i didn't start a build thread back then...

Anyway... I didn't just buy a 20B and then it sit... since I got it, I slowly started collecting parts, thinking about the project, collecting more parts... changed my mind about which car would get the engine, etc...

So the idea:
- NA 20B with triple throttle bodies in an FD

Parts list:
- A Series 20B
- S5 NA Rotors (balanced by Mandeville)
- Street port
- triple throttle body intake w/ air box (purchased from other member)
- Defined Autoworks header
- Defined 20B mounts
- Electric water pump (due to the intake I purchased from member in Australia)
- Haltech PS2000
- PXL Wide band
- Rebuild by Liberty FD transmission
- 4.3 gear final drive LSD
- 6x LSx coils
- Sakebomb 25 row dual oil coolers
- aluminum radiator

I picked up the 20B through AllRotor93, sourced the NA rotor from an old s5 engine of mine and 1 from RotaryResurrection... Intake from Alister... Header from Justin (in Canada)...

A local builder helped me tear down the 20B several months back and confirmed that all parts were in good/great condition and it looked like a fairly low mileage engine.

Now... after several months of dragging my feet and letting other things get in the way, I'm hoping to hear back from the builder about meeting up with him within the next few days to reassemble my engine, Saturday I go and look at a roller...

And I know people like pictures... so here are a few... in my Google+ account:
