RX8 1.3-liter twin-rotor Renesis engine
 

Does anyone know if a RX8 1.3-liter twin-rotor Renesis engine can replace a 13B engine in a 2nd generation RX-7?

Yea It will. Last week I did a swap, believe it or not it even bolts right up!

No modifications required at all and it only weights 270 lbs!!!!

How exactly would one accomplish this considering production of the engine just commenced in Jpn about 2 weeks ago? You smuggle one back in your suitcase or something?

HA HA , I wonder who is going to be the first to do a transplant into their 2nd gen? I wonder if the RX-8 can smoke up on a T2? I know it has a 70hp stock on us T2 guys.

yeah but you can get that 70hp from just intake and exhaust.

Where did you purchase new Renesis 1.3 liter rotary engine and what is cost?

Thanks,

He was being sarcastic... and you're all being retarded.

Noone knows if the Renesis can be bolted up. Noone's tried it yet. Speculate all you will that "oh with the right mounts..." but noone will know until someone tries; leave it at that.

lol you guys believed him, i love it ;)

Actually, 6 suitcases...but who's counting?

haha...i was about to flame too...good one ;) but odds are, it won't trransplant easily, looking at thye way they move the mounts with every revision of the 13B and the fact that the housings are different.

Anythings possible I guess.

wont it be hard cuz it sits lower in teh car?

Pretty funny, huh?

I've got first dibs on the 1st Totaled RX8 for donar car....
 

Just wanted to make that clear to ya'all so there is no misunderstanding. ;) :cool:

Both a TII and a Rx8 (both 100% stock) run about 15.1 in the 1/4m. I dont see the renesis making as much power as a TII off bolt ons.

You have no idea what a RX8 runs in the 1/4. I read the weight is 2820. If thats the case it weights what an S2000 does. an S2000 runs 14.1-14.3 with a good driver (i watch my friends run that consistent). tHe RX8 has a better power band and a little more HP. I see 14.2-14.5 for the RX-8.

NO rx8 has been tested by the mags. When they did the 1/4 mile time they said "Estimated".

How do you know the power band of a rx8? How do you know the actual weight? Oh I guess you "read" both of those.. just like I read the 15.1. So dont try to mag race here.

Dont start a flame war with me , you will not like the result. I know the power band because I can READ. I saw DYNO PLOTS, I read what they said about it. the VTEC does not have as good of a power band, sorry its a fact.

the car was weighed and yes, it was a pre-production vehicle. As I quote myself here, I said "IF THATS THE CASE". Atleast what I quoted was actually tested on the car not...Hmmmm I estimate it will run 15.1 in the 1/4. Get a grip.

If you guys dont get the sand out of your vaginas soon, youre gonna explode

hmm, i'll join in the fun and pull a number out of my ass:
mid/low 14's.

well if were just pulling numbers why not say 12's or 10's...come on make it look good!!:D

It is considered one of the top 5 sports cars of the year, you know!

yeah. you can make it bolt up! custom make an adapter plate if neccessary. And custom make the motor mounts. It really isn't that hard!
