I asked this a while back on the evil forum, would the rx8 tranny work in a FD? The tranny will probaly be over 3k.

 

it prolly will, but we dont know if it will bolt up to the engine, or the ppf. plus its also weaker to start with



mike

 

yeah its like a miata tranny

 

Would need some stronger gears, someone will do it in the furture.

 

Why did they use a weaker tranny?? That's a little disapointing.

 

It costs about the same as the FD engine from Mazda hehe



Mazda is selling 2 different engines for the RX8, Im looking into the difference between them.



One is $5000.95 shipped and other is $5300.95 shipped the parts book doesnt say anything so I had to ask Mazda direct and they are going to get back with me.

 

I think that there is a 210 hp version thats mated to the automatics and 250 thats attached to the 6 speed. I think they only real difference is an alteration int the intake manifold. The 250 version has a couple of flow passages that open at high rpm that are absent from the lesser model. Correct me if I'm wrong. Seems like that would be more than a $300 difference though, doesn't it?
