im selling my rx7 to build a turbo rx8 only thing i wanna know is can you put an s5 turbo 2 into an rx8 i cant find anyone else thats done this swap only re swaps thanks it will be full stand alone and painless interior

 

You can put anything into anything, space allowing. Its just up to you and your determination (and funds) to make it happen

 

why not stay with the renesis? its a great engine that's smooth and moderately powerful. i have an RX-8 and i personally love the renesis. the 8 is a very quick car and the engine, like all rotaries is no torque monster but is a blast in the upper rev range. i get over 20mpg with my 8. i get around 15mpg in my 88 10AE.. if you want to build an RX-8, why not build the existing engine?

 

I remember right after the RX8 first came out, at 7Stock there was an RX8 with a 20B shoehorned into it. So if you can put a 20B into an RX8.........................

 

The reason I'm not keeping the renesis is because I'm getting a shell and I wanna be very fast

 

I considered doing this before I got my TII shell. RX8 shells are stupid cheap for what they are. But if you're thinking of throwing a stock TII motor in it, consider that a stock TII is 200hp and the stock RX8 13b-msp is 230ish hp. So why go have all the impracticality for less power and more lag?

 

because boostless is useless.

 

I've seen pictures of RX-8's with 20B's in them... VERY cool. OP, go 20B in the RX-8... if you've got the time, money, and knowledge.

 

Put an LS1 in it

 

If you were a bazillionare id go 20b. Check out Mad Mike Whiddetts rx8
