365 day Rx8 REW build.

You would have to change the accelerator pedal and fab the mounts but yes.
It's pointless though, once you tackle the build it is worth to get rid of the rat's nest and reliability issues created by a craptastic twin turbo system, more than 70 vacuum hoses and a shitty\stupid ecu (both the 8 and 16bit ones stink)

There's no real "rebuild kit". You have to open the engine and find what needs to be replaced.
Generally speaking it's anything between 2000 and 4000$ in parts.
Turbo kit = search.

^^ IIRC the tuned solution for S2 was a standalone ECU. By the time I tally up the cost of a custom turbo kit, it will easily cross the $10K mark. Just hoping for a tune/flash be available sometime this year so I can start planning in the fall/winter season when the RX will be parked.

Oh yeah.. I know it's gonna cost more than $10K. For my situation, a Petit S/C makes the most sense when they are available again hopefully w a tune. Either way, I am interested in seeing how this build turns out
