In the 80's it was 250!!..yeah!

^^ mmm ... I was just a few years old back then ...

I'm happy with 110-150 ... but people in Japan gonna be like OMG lol

Lucky if the shop that is willing to do the rebuild for you for $1k is turbo clinic run by some guy called Charlie Maldonado, stay away from there. I've only heard about bad things from that shop, and it's a shame considering it's one of the few rotary shops in Miami.

Damn it Mike, you ruined a perfect nuclear holocaust flame thread by posting accurate and helpful information politely. :(

thanks a lot guys for all the help i appreciate it

I saw this thread and wanted to chime in. I've looked into doing this swap and so far its not possible because the oil sump on the renesis rotary engine is a full length sump that sits towards the back of the engine bay. The oil sump on the VQ35DE sits in the front of the engine. Therefore you won't be able to match it up and thus can not install it. Theres a plate blocking the front of the engine bay that will prevent you from installing this engine.

I hope your first post is your last one

Wow you have entirely way too much time on your hands. Put your tampon in.

No, I think it was because you bumped a seemingly dead thread with inaccurate wisdom and that sort of thing has been running rampant lately. There are many other reasons why that swap would be difficult, but that is not one.

mr, this thread is useless without tq curve graphs so i hope it gets locked

I wanted to know more about this plate blocking the engine bay.

i want graphs. if you want to pull your engine out i can weld a steel plate under your hood to block your engine bay

I'm too lazy to make any graphs right now. I prefer to pick engines based on a tremendous amount of transmission choices and then get one that is notoriously bad and needs heavy modification to work.

Man, this is the most anal retentive, uptight and impolite forum on the net, FFS, the man is modifying his own car with the engine of his choice, it's his fracking car to do with as he pleases, the only unfortunate thing is he was under the impression fellow members here would be supportive. It seems that unless you're a narrow minded rotary purist or a big mouth with 24,000 post's and take more than 12 months to install a turbo system and belittle everyone who disagrees with his opinion, or a stick jockey that hasn't have a clue on engine swaps and have to ask how to do an oil change or plug change and have nothing better to do than rag on a guy for wanting to improve the reliability and performance of his 8 without using the pathetically useless and unreliable Renesis engine, damn, even the big mouth is on his 4th engine, yeah, the Renesis is a great engine :nono: All of you negative knob jockey naysayers need a bunch of fives and a good kick in the arse :piss: on you all.

You obviously didn't read shit cause this guy wouldn't be doing anything but signing a check, he's asking what mods need to be done so the dealership can put the VQ in the 8.

But thank the lord your here to defend everyone who gets disagreed with.

I have personally helped more people on this forum than you could ever dream of. Being supportive is one thing, encouraging bullshit is another. If you want to be supportive then so be it, kiss his ass all day, why do you care what we think?

And why are you worried about my build and how long it took? Are you jealous? Could you do any of it faster or better than I? No, because if you could, you would. Instead you just sit in your RX-8 thinking about how your car runs so great and how your rattles are gone now that you are premixing. You are just butt hurt because you have no real experience or knowledge to combat anything I said to you in the premix thread who disagreed with me. Don't take it personal, just admit you may not know as much as you think you do and educate yourself. Being called ignorant is not an insult if you are ignorant on the topis at hand.

But if you post ridiculous BS, I will call you out on it, I don't care who you are, mod or no mod. And I expect to be called out when I speak nonsense, and I have been many times. Posting BS or opinions as fact doesn't help anyone. Helping people help themselves does.

And if you hate the Renesis so much then why do you drive one? My RX-8 will be ten years old in July, talk to me when you have some actual experience wrenching on one.

Bose, yes I can read, evidently you cant. My comment was NOT in reference to Luckyboii's question. 9k, you often speak of personal experience,as do I, maybe, just maybe the rattle I had before premix was seal chatter, but, as always, you know best. And I dont drive a Renesis, I drive an RX8 fitted with a Renesis. I bare you no malice, and wish you the best in your endeavor to finally get your car running properly one year. And no way am I jealous, why would I be ? Would I like a reliable FI rotary ,sure, who wouldn't, when they design one that will pass emissions and last 100k miles with no issues,I'm up for one.Fwiw, apart from 6 years in the military, I have been an engine builder all of my working life. I await your pleasant reply with baited breathe .

How many bags of popcorn ? Just one or is this a two bagger ?

I need to venture out more from my local forums, this thread is great! Let's get iT ON!!

I have nachos and cheese if you want some

I'm of the opinion that "The swap who's name we shall not speak" feels goofy and like a waste of time. Sorry for expressing that and defaming your hero. I find it ironic that it is so well planned out and being praised as such and it is slowly becoming an episode of throwing everything in the parts bin at it just to maybe make something work.

If you are so down on the Renesis, then why own the only car it comes in? Everyone is so quick to deride this engine and get rid of it without trying to work things out. So many people that seem to hate the car they own and make it something different that already exists elsewhere. Some kind of stubbornness and refusal to get rid of a car they bought by mistake without knowing what it was about.

Premix cured apex seal chatter that was audible while the engine was running? :lol: Did you just Google the rotary engine and learn of apex seal chatter? I bet you did.

You have been an engine builder all your life? Well then you should invest some time into learning about the rotary because if you knew even a little bit you would not be blabbering about premix eliminating apex seal chatter on a Renesis. Oh wait, I forgot, you think the Renesis is a piece of shit. So then why on earth would you buy one? I seem to recall it's the wife car right? So then why the Fawk are you here? Oh, you like Isuzu swaps, I forgot.


And if you are so interested in my build then you should read my build thread. My car is tuned and running like a champ. Stay tuned for the next phase, it's a doozy and it's coming soon to a thread near you.

Here is a recent pic of her all buttoned up with new body pieces for you to droll over.
