The Ultimate Street Mazda Mazda 20B 3-rotor RX-3

The last time we featured Jason’s Mazda RX-3 street car it was powered by a 13B rotary turbo engine and rolled on huge 19x12in wheels.

At the time Jason commented that he always wanted a 3-rotor. Well fast forward a number of years later and the re-finished monster Simmons wheels remain, but under the bonnet is where our interest lies.

The larger displacement 20B 3-rotor bridge ported engine was built by Promaz and features a Billetpro sump, water pump and engine brace.

A Garrett GTX42 turbo is aided by a Turbosmart wastegate and blow-off-valve all governed by a MicroTech LT16c computer running on pump unleaded fuel. Another big change was in the gearbox department.

The Supra h-pattern was ditched in favour of a very cool Samsonas 6-speed sequential unit, making this one very desirable street Mazda.
