In the latest episode of Tj Hunt's automotive saga, the team unveils their highly-anticipated 20B RX-7 build, a project that has consumed nine months of blood, sweat, and gears. With the engine currently running at 9 lbs of boost, the team is on the brink of unleashing its full potential at 17 lbs after the engine break-in period. The anticipation is palpable as they gear up for the first test drive, expecting the three-rotor beast to churn out a staggering 650 horsepower, promising a driving experience that will put their previous Supra to shame.

As the team hits the road, they are met with a symphony of power and torque from the 20B engine, delivering a smooth and linear powerband that leaves them in awe. However, the transmission's durability becomes a point of concern, especially in third gear, where the sheer force threatens to shred the gears to pieces. Despite the technical challenges, the team is exhilarated by the car's performance, with power delivery that defies the laws of physics and a soundtrack that echoes like a chorus of angels on a high-speed joyride.

Fuel consumption becomes a sobering reality check as the thirsty rotary engine guzzles through nine gallons of fuel in a matter of miles, a small price to pay for the adrenaline-fueled rush that the 20B RX-7 delivers. The team's escapades on public roads attract attention, including an unexpected encounter with law enforcement, adding a touch of drama to their already exhilarating drive. As they compare the distinct sounds of the 20B and 13B engines, the team is left in awe of the 20B's superior performance and rev-hungry nature, setting the stage for a showdown of rotary proportions.
