Would a rx8 be drivable with a R26B?

Woohoo.

Best thread of the year already and we aren't even 24 hrs in.

Any car is drivable with any engine, assuming you can get the engine in the car, attached to some type of driveline, and running.

I think there are only about 5 in the world and their already in race (show) cars. All the other 4 rotor engines are made up of parts centered around a non-Mazda made eccentric shaft. The true R26B has a bearing in the center to reduce vibration. The parts engines do not. A R26B is a peripheral port engine that would be difficult to drive at low rpms and would be very loud at any speed.

Geoff Bruce @ Precision Engineering can provide you the parts to build a center bearing 4 rotor

They can also build a 6 rotor engine

Why not just consider a v8 swap?
