RX-7 Engine Swap
Ok everyone...sorry to do this since I am a new RX-8 owner. I was wondering if you can swap the twin turbo rx-7 motor into the rx-8 or any rx-7 engine at that? Bash on me all you want...but I did try to search for it. Thanks

It's not an easy swap.
The JDM JIC-Magic D1 Drift Grand Prix RX-8 car uses the 13B-REW of the RX-7 and puts out around 450-500 hp. But they had to modify the engine bay, because the Renesis sits farther back in RX-8's engine bay than the TT 13B-REW does in the RX-7.

I think I've talked about doing a 20B swap and from what I was told, it isn't worth it because in comparison to the Greddy Turbo, the Greddy will put out ~230-240HP where the 20B will put out less power than that and both will cost about the same.
That is what I was told, but what do I know?

yea, theres a shop in jersey taht did a swap, and in race mode is 900hp im sure thats at the flywheel, but i can handle that....
i think its a service they offer, and there is a thread with a link to their site. im far too lazy to find it though.
