I got it into my head that I would put a new, rebuilt, remanufactured or used renesis engine in a sand rail I will be building in the near future. However, I haven't yet found a place online where I can purchase a renesis engine other than in a vehicle. Any help?....Oh and i know the 3 rotor can be amazing and is cheaper, but i have my heart set on strapping a big set of ***** on a new renesis engine.

reman is $2400ish, new is $5623.00, and thats the block with no intakes or anything. the mt/high power intakes are another $4k.... then you need to think about the ecu to run it all.....
4 port/AT intakes ar cheaper, dunno if its gonna make power though?

For a rail you would be better off with a carbed 13b or bridge ported 12a although it won't make the torque your going to want for playing in the sand. Why not just stick with the flat four air coooled or maybe the subby flat four? You can get those with the turbo off ebay for around $2500. If you still had your heart set at a rx8 set up then you shoud be going to auctions for a front clip or a totaled car for salvage. Which rail chassis are you using?

there are 3 of them, the lower bit lists for $2116, its got all the actuators and 6 port framii in it. upper upper intake is $433 simple peice of plastic, $172 another piece of plastic, then the tb which is like $300, then you need fuel rails (both of em) 6 injectors, and then something to run the whole mess

tech speaking there are 2 the plastic part is a 2 pc system but you do have to buy them seperate. The LIM has alot of **** going on with it. I would suggest finding and engine from mazmart that has it all ready to go out of the box. These engines can take a beating in the N-A form.
