So my 06 rx8 has 150k+ miles and I want to swap engines. The mechanic at the Mazda dealership told me that I can put a 350z engine on an rx8 and they are willing to put it in. I found one for $3200 with 50k miles from a manual 2008 350z..My question is, do you have to do any modification to install this engine on a rx8?

 

no....just drop it in, and you are done.

 

Make them tell you a price and sign a contractual agreement and go for it bro. Drops right in...

 

^+1

I'm pretty sure it wont just drop in either there will probably be hell to pay for whomever thinks that but yea do what Arca ex said so they will be obligated to delivery and dont go over the agreed price.

 

If you don't think that swap is going to be problematic, I hope you have more dollars than sense.

You should check out this new thing called "Google."

 

An Isuzu engine would be much better .... and wrong forum too. You are a God.

 

......because your transmission choices are endless.

 

Burn the witch!

 

Oh NO..

 

so I assume I can swap a 1JZ engine in as well? holy **** !

Please tell us the name of the dealership and the tech there who said he can drop it right in ! We are all thrill about this !!!!!

 

there is a 1J rx8 running around isn't there?

 

Nice

 

There are a bunch of swapped 8s running around in Pakistan because they don't have the experience or patience to deal with rotaries. Every one I've seen looks like it was installed in a hurry using a sawzall, though.

 

i like exploring the potential of OEM engines. I will be putting an LSx in my FC though. After my second 13bt I'm ready for a change

 

yeah, its for sale too

 

Anything can be done, with enough $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


*notice there's a lot of "$" there*

 

most people thought they know rotary when they really dont.

 

"350Z engine ON RX8"

Very simple . There is a guy on here called Alfy who can show you exactly what this will look like !


Calling Alfy !!!!

 

 

ok, where is this 1337 mazda tech who can do direct 350z swap? im really interested in putting 1zfe into the 8 , probably needa a little more work than a 350z swal but since this tech is so 1337, im sure he can do it, i got a few piggy banks that i have since i was five and im ready to break them!

 

so i guess it isn't possible or are here a lot of sarcastic *****? you can swap a 350z engine with a skyline r34 and a toyota cressida wagon with a toyota supra..why wouldnt be possible to swap a rx8 engine with a 350z?

 

thought this post was pretty accurate

 

how much? 5k?

 

Triple that and you have a starting price.

 

just brew it brah
