G'day from DMRH

Thanks for the reply about the Cosmo 20B engine.

There is bad news about the 20B engine I'm afraid. They are all gone. We
are having a very difficult time finding them in Japan & when we do we
are having to pay top dollar for them.

As for damaged ones, they don't exist at all. They Japanese will take
them themselves well before we could have a chance at them.

The 20B engine is actually an unreliable engine for racing purposes
especially with the tiny factory turbo's. We have found the shafts to be
weak & have had many twist throwing the balance out & destoying the
centre rotor. (Just ask around & you will find it's always the centre
rotor that goes)

At Rotary power, we have developed a 3 rotor engine that it 10 times
more reliable than the 20B using a billet steel shaft & the best of
what's available from the current generation of engines (not just whats
in the 20B).

We will be able to build a 3 rotor engine to your specifications
complete with MOTEC injection dynoed to your required power (
300-400-500-600-700+) applications.

The pricing on this sort of deal is around US $17,000 complete. We have
sent many 20B engine's to the US for racing appliactions, but that was a
few years ago now when we could get the engines from Japan. The lack of
engines & the increasing demand has lead us to develop the 3 rotor 13B
type engine that is proving popular for racers. the important thing here
is the easily obtained parts for them where Mazda won't even supply new
shafts for the 20B these days.

Let us know if your interested.
