Is there any difference in the 4port motor blocks for the RX8 or can any year "4port engine" be interchanged? I read they did omp changes, front cover changes etc but are the engine blocks all the same?

He would need the engine harness and ECU from a 6 port auto to do that swap. If that is even available on the JDM cars, which is what New Zealand gets.

The performance difference in terms of 1/4 mile times is insignificant. The S2 is a much better more improved car all around. Do your homework, there are plenty of threads outlining the difference. If you care about 1/4 mile times in an RX-8 you might want to look at something else or consider buying a used S1 that is turbocharged or supercharged.
Just the Tail light of the car look busier than a Bang-Kok traffic.

If you want to tune your car, S1
if you don't, S2
Personally I would go for the S2 for reliability's sake.
1v1 in the straight the S2 should be just as fast, if not a bit faster since it's now newer and has a lower final drive ratio. But around a track and corners, the S2 is noticeably faster,
if you don't, S2

It's not the most advanced software out there, but as far as I know it's the only option for the s2.
they only have 2 base maps out right now "valet" and "economizer". Anything further, you have to do your self, or get custom tuned. But it's at least a start. Plus you can run a catless mid pipe without the CEL

I was getting psyched about swaping my Rew engine into a cheap Rx8 roller with all the readily available bolt on parts and Adaptronic PnP and getting it done in a couple months lol before the ball sweating heat and humidity return in FL, who else had done the Rew swap and what was your time frame like, good thread and videos tho keep up the good work.
