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.

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

we came across a bus a while back that had over 1 million genuine km's on it.

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

      Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt.

      Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck

      I don't understand what the issue is with, turn the boost down and start saving $$.  As soon as you can afford the supporting mods, turn the boost back up.  If the car is running fine, enjoy it. Turning the boost down isn't going to kill you.
