Engine swap suspension upgrade
Hey everyone I live in SoCal I brought my 8 from the east coast and still have the 1st engine it's about to hit 138k miles. I just replaced the exhaust and headers. I'm thinking about swapping it to a 1jz/3rotor/or the LS1 does anyone know if it will be approved by CA DMV. I need some help if you guys know how to go about it I want more power

Do you know what the California laws are? If you do, then you'll know which motor you can or cannot swap. Basically, if you're swapping for a newer and cleaner burning engine then the answer is yes. 3 rotor is not going to pass emissions. Only a handful of people have done a v8 swap. Learning is fun, give it a try

How about we install about 500 of these model airplane jet engines on the back of an RX-8?
JetCat P200-SX Turbine engine 52 lb thrust with internal kero start - Call to order! (JCATP200SX) - troybuiltmodels.com
55 lbs of thrust for each one, times 500 = 27,500 lbs of thrust!!!!!
I bet it would be a lot easier than any of these stupid engine swap ideas, like an LS1, or a Cummins Diesel. And since it costs a heck of a lot more to do this swap, it must be better. Price tag for 500 of these engines is a cool $2,597,500.
