Exclamation RENESIS rotary engine

Can you order a RENESIS rotary engine and the transmission separately? I really like the Rx-8 body, but I want 2 hav a engine swap with a 200hp engine. No offense.

LOL I think your "I really like the Rx-8 body" created misunderstanding :D
I'm pretty sure you can buy just rotaries from mazda and you can find out the manufacturer of the transmission and buy it from them direct
which lexus are you putting a rotary in? the IS? GS? hmmm I'd make sure they can be mated to your car first though

If you're going to start insulting people, you're going to get ignored. No need to get snotty - your initial post WAS confusing. Why not try explaining yourself fully, instead of using stupid AIM abbreviations?

Anyway - if an IS300, you don't need the full RX-8 transmission - it's pretty much the same Aisin 6 speed manual that the IS300 already uses.

Regards,
Gordon

wow, I don't know the exact dimensions..... but you shouldn't have a fitment prob-size wise cause it's probably smaller than your v6(or is it inline?)
you should try posting this in the "Tech garage" or the general discussions. though it's weird that USA and Canada mazda would list different sizes??

I was gonna make like "RX-300" or "IS-8" or even "Rotezza" (I kno, I kno, LAME names) I'm gonna go 4 a 1998 Supra GTE Engine

Just that people has done it b4 and it gives a cleaner look 2 it.

You really sound like you have no mechanical skill what so ever. I would leave this project to the professionals.
