is there anybody...out there?
Well...
Still no response from Atkins to my email info. request... I guess maybe their multiple email address changes of late got my message lost in digitaland somewhere...
Never found that H2O injection discussion, either--but did get a look at and read some about it elsewhere...
All this technology sure adds up! Whatever happened to simple, clean, affordable, reliable performance? (I'd settle for near-stock power if I could run my REPU on hydrogen at a price I can pay!)
Back into the future...

Comfortably numb.........
Most of the Email links for companies I send to never get a response. I have to call them to get the info I want. Atkins included.
I hate you didn't find the thread to the H2O injection. It answered a few questions. I really think that it is the way to boost high comp motors and have them live. If you can use an intercooler all the better. But the cold water is allowing them to get sick power.
The 20b from 13parts forum is where I am now... Still looking for torque.

Well, I am really thinking I can buy a 20B cheaper than I can build a mogrel 20B out of 13B parts. The rotors are 9:0:1
In fact I think it will be cheaper to buy a 20B and set it up NA . Than it will to properly set up a 13B, boost it by some means then figure out a way to intercool it and monitor it.
The specialty items like the oil pan, motor mount,header and such will take a little time to work out. Just fabrication though..
I still haven't decided what type of auto tranny I want.
If I am lucky enough to find the full front clip of a Cosmos for a resonable price forget what I said about the NA part cause I am gonna cobble all of that Turbo stuff into my REPU.
But I think that the 20B NA is realistic. They are available used for about the price of a new 13b from Mazda. Rebuild kits are about $1200. And it will have one thing that only a High power/ high dollar/high strung Turbo13B will provide.
