The engine not the car! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683431.gif
What would it take to slap a renesis engine in a 87 N/A RX-7 I.E. Tranny/ECU/ anything else.. also would mazda start selling the engine as soon as the RX-8 is released? |
custom motor mounts
|
A lot of money
|
Yup alot money. I'll bet around 6k to 8k for the engine, new, everything new
|
insted of buying the whole new engine is it possible to fit the rotor housings on the 13b side and center housings?
|
nope...they are totally different from what i see
|
well i know that the rotors can be swapped....... light weight rotors...... but hte housing and sides are different
|
light weight rotors .. are they lighter then the RX-7 ones?
|
i know someone who is already planning on doing this and is in the process of getting a motor from japan. it seems like its gonna cost an arm and a leg. and in his case, if i were him i would just go with a larger turbo for my 3rd gen

I'm holding off on my rebuild to get more info on this. Sending your FD engine to Pineapple can cost you the same $6-$8k stated above. Although, I don't think it would be that cheap. An important factor is will the PowerFC be available so you don't have to buy the RX8 ECU.
Now the most important questions: 1. Will the overheating problems be gone it you slap a turbo on it. 2. Will the Apex seals have a longer lifespan? If it works out well, I predict it to be as common as Acura Motors in Honda Civics! Eventually we'll see motor mount kits and all that stuff. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif |
