wuts up guys....i got a couple of questions in reference to the rx8.....i'm new to the rx8 frame but i have the experience in rotory motors.....heres my thing..



i have an idea to throw a 13bREW fd motor in the the rx8....bigger turbo...so on so on...u get the idea



my question tho is... are the bolt patters on the fd motor capable of boltin up to the rx8 tranny??



if so, what affect will it have on the weight distrubution??



and also are the mounts the same??...will the fd drop right in??...or will there have to be welding involved??



i haven't reallly had the time or the chance to take a look at an rx8 set up.....so i turned to u guys to give me a lil heads up.....let me know guys....thanks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

The RX8 tranny should bolt up fine to a 13BREW but I wouldn't expect it to last too long....they break under stock power levels....

damn those tranny's must be weak....so if there breaking of stock power i can just picture what'll happen with a 400+ motor......anyone else with advice??....



what about the weight distrubution and the mounts??....are they the same?
