RX-8 3 Rotor from Mazmart
Okay, who's ready for a proper 3 rotor conversion kit? It won't be cheap first of all, so those who want to compare bang for the buck vs V8s please go somewhere else. This thread is about something special for those who love rotaries, RX-8s and can afford to play with the big boys.
The R&D has begun for doing this the Mazmart way. some level of details with pricing should be available by the beginning of the year.

Funny thing is, I have not been on much threads here in a while and have not seen that one at all. even now. I spent some time checking out and admiring what BHR had done with their header recently and I've popped in to the General automotive section to peek at F! conversations. I have been SO BUSY recently.

I fully understand that a swap of this nature would be a "big boy" swap and won't be cheap. That being said, I'm new to RX8s coming from owning an FD. Not new to rotaries by ANY means, but I'm totally clueless on what this could cost in the 8. Any way you could give us a ballpark/range estimate of what you're shooting for? Also, would this kit be a direct fit for the series II RX8 also?

I'm not saying this is all I'd ever need in life.....actually, yes I am. If you could do a reliable, truly streetable 3 rotor kit (everything I need) to achieve that glorious sound, and 400WHP with a reasonable price (all things considered), I'd be on it like white on rice. Additionally, I think you're reading the market correctly. RX8 prices have plummeted and will continue to sink even a little bit more. Many of us, myself included, are looking for low priced RX8s to build into evil street/track machines. Meaning, your offering of a kit at this time is actually quite good timing. :D

I guess what I'm asking is will this kit be something a buyer purchases and then does themselves or will this kit be something installed and tuned by Mazmart.
Yeah I figured it was borderline for a 20B making healthy power but KNEW the AZ6speed would die an instantaneous death haha.

I'm interested in a motor mount kit. I think an n/a 20b Pport with ITB's is going to be awesome. that should net 350whp easy. I'm a fan of using the 6spd manual from the rx-8 and would be looking to retain it. I've done a bit of research on this lately. I've exchanged emails with Logan at defined autoworks the past couple weeks. I can't wait to get details on this in january. it's going to be epic.

touche. I was thinking the smooth power delivery of a n/a 20b would be ok. I haven't grenaded my current s1 trans and I'm making over 300 whp now. I'll be going s2 trans when the time comes. so far, no issues.

And there is always the difference between a torque failure and a horsepower failure. I imagine a 13b turbo 400whp is a different type of transmission strain than an N/A 20b 400whp.

rev it up
Danny of Automotive Plus in Brisbane has a PP 3 rotor running on a MX5 and he has successfully tracked the car using a RX8 series 2, 6 speed gear box.
The motor pushes around 400HP at the wheels.
