Swiper the Fox Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 they even made a few 13b (non turbo) powered buses. it boggles my mind why you would combine such a heavy chassis with an engine with no bottom end torque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchy_ Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 this topic came up on another forum i'm on, and Ben from J-Spec said the same thing.. that bus with the non turbo 13B was used in a hilly region... how it even got up a hill I'll never know, must have been pretty depressing. Still, only something like 10 of them were ever made so rotary collectors were gaga over it, from memory the seller wanted over a hundred grand.

VB- Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 it boggles my mind why you would combine such a heavy chassis with an engine with no bottom end torque. because GM and mazda had dealings going on back in the 70's and GM 'genoursly' donated a bunch of chassis to mazda, a gift of sorts. thats my understanding of it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VB- Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 yeah 20B would go alright, no lack of torque from them, they make like 450nm or something last time i checked? ahahha i just wanna see that bus with a maztec (or similar) built 13B, big single, external gate, launching off the transbrake and holding just that little bit of angle (on slicks of course) the entrie way down the 1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
