hello my name is comya and I've own my lil Dorito for a little over 3 years. i recently ran into some issues with my OEM engine losing compression...time to replace it with a new one! Well, at least that sounds easy. Halfway through the job in my garage I had noticed I bought a MANUAL TRANSMISSION ENGINE. Nice going me. Anyway, what I'm trying to ask is if its possible to put this engine in even though its from a manual.

 

What year is the car? 2007+ engine cores are the same, but not before.

 

The car is a 2007 RX8, Manual engine is from a 06

 

Yeah should be fine, just strip it down to the block and use all the sensors, injectors manifolds, etc from your car.

 

Okie dokie i went ahead and did all of that, got a little worried because I was having a really tough time turning it by hand before dropping it in. (I took all 4 sparkies out put a little royal purple in and got her moving all good) now all I have left to do is rewire everything
