Engine Swap
 

Hey guys, my motor is hitting its point where it is going to go sooner or later. I do not want to put another rotary into it, but at the same time don't want a giant LS1 that will mess up the balance of my car. I was thinking about a GTR inline six. Any ideas?

1. LMFAO!!!!!!!!
2. Search
3. do you REALLY have the time and money?

I'm pretty sure an RB26 swap has only been done once. Ever.

I'm guessing you don't have the cash/time/skills to do this either. You ready to invest like twice the cost of the car into swapping that thing in there?

yeah^ unless you know how to fabricate yourself and know what youre doing, paying a shop to do such a build is gonna cost you your soul

yeah, spend 5x more putting something else in there, that makes sense ...

I already work in a shop part time and have the money saved up. I can decently fabricate, making the engine mounts will be hard though.

- Asking about a high flow cat without really understanding what it is that you are asking
- Asking about "handling" without really specifying what it is that you are trying to do
- Bump a 3 year old thread to comment on an AWD RX-8
- and ask the typical "i don't know what I'm doing" noob question about an LS swap.



Might want to wake up to reality and really start understanding what you have, and thinking about if this is really the right car for you.

that is the easy part

please search, read, and learn more and post less ...

Now that is good research! :biggthump

You do realize the RB26 out of a GTR is a heavy ass iron block? It wieghs ~150lbs more than the aluminum block LS1 that you dont want for balance purposes..... :uh:

OH boy! I want a rotary car, but then not a rotary engine. Ill spend tons of money swapping in a different engine cause it will make SOOOO much more power than if i spent that 15k on the renisis or a REW or 20B swap. It will be SOOO easy cause i know my cousins girlfriends uncle works at autozone, which is almost just like a machine shop and he can help me!

ILL HAVE THE BEST RX8 EVUR!
