Could that possibly happen...or work?

Just a curious question

Of course there will be a turbo kit. Eventually.

I hate when people ask, "can this or that work?"

Remember this: ANYTHING is possible with enough money. Hell, if I had enough, I could drop a 4 rotor 787B engine in my TII. And then put the 13BT on my riding lawnmower.

Aquiring one of these engines with the wiring harness and computer would be a joke. And a waste of money compared to the already fine options out there.

this is true...

but, if you ever decieded to go with that idea.. what would you need to make it work? A friend and I are talking about it. Sure, we like the RX-8, but it'd just be as cool as to have the Rensis in a 2nd gen.

i think she wants to know if the engine will bolt up or if it uses different mounts. i want to know too please, if anyone knows.

christi

yes, thank you. That's what I was aiming at - sorry for not being that specific.

Fact is, they haven't produced the engine yet, so nobody is going to know those answers except some head engineer at Mazda.

Right! let's revisit this in about a year when somebody has actually seen the RX8 motor.

i saw the RENESIS cutaway engine on a stand at the autoshow and it looks pretty much the same as every rotary block ever produced...if it holds true to that it shouldn't be too hard to bolt in.
