i know that there's people who do LS1 swaps, and others who rebuild the normal 13B engine, and still others who get a 3 or 4 rotor swap and that's what my question is about. around my neighborhood whats going down is that people who have turbo's are more and more often being less respected when they win a race if they have turbo. because if they win, then so what its no big deal they got turbo. so i'e been thinking about that and how FD and FC are my favorite cars and that they use turbo, i was thinking about all of this at the same time and wondered if anyone has at least thought of a 2, 3 or 4 rotor 13B-RENESIS engine swap, since they dont use turbo?

 

Yes people have thought of it. My guess is you couldnt afford it. Use the search button

 

Your neighborhood is stupid, but what do you expect from street racers...

 

actually i searched it and it would cost less to build, buy or rebuld a Renesis engine over a REW engine, it would be about $6,000 for a Renesis, compared to the $15,000 for an REW engine. but i did also end up reading that the RENESIS has problems with lube in the lower RPM which caused the recall.

 

The SpeedSource RX8 that just won in Mexico runs a 3 rotor Renesis engine. It makes a little over 425 hp normally aspirated. They say it can go to 9000 rpm. Go to thier site. They have a phone number listed. Give them a call to get a quote on an engine and then tell us how much it is.
