The price was a bit steep: $3750 plus shipping (an amazingly cheap

$105). What I got was a complete 20B twin turbo (no starting gear
though... ARRRRGH!).  Knowing that Mazda doesn't have any more 20B
e-shafts, I figured landing a couple of 12Bs and making my own
wouldn't be worth the hassle if I could get a complete 20B in
reasonable shape.  At first I thought I would re-use the stock
turbo... now not so sure.  Paul has given me second thoughts.

If it is any consolation, you can get a automatic tranny starter from
the 3rd gen rx7. It fits the 20B rear housing and bellhousing. Of
course, you need a matching auto tranny bellhousing cause the starter
straddles the two.
