Yes, runs like hell forever, no premix, no blown apex seals, no burnt up cats, lots of tuning options, boost it up and no problems, yeah that kind of blasphemy ruins everything you've come to love about the RX-8

 

I'm not that sure about the "runs like hell forever" part. I track with a group of s2000 guys and one way or another they all had to rebuild the engine after 75\90.000kms.
However it has been the NA engine with most hp\l for a long while, bolts right up and surely gives less headaches than a renny.
Way better than an sr20det or the likes (they too bolt to an az6 box).

 

Why buy a Rotary and complain about them? You knew what you were getting into.

On a side note I think this would be a fun build. I personally like the S2k motor and wouldn't mind having one. I wonder how much a build like this would cost.

 

IF i would ever do an engine swap --this would be my choice.
But, I am quite happy with my latest engine.

 

SR20 bolts up to these trannys? I'd rather have one since I'm familiar with them (also never had a problem with mine). Would have to have the variable valve head slapped on like i said earlier though.

 

u need to seriously get a civic its what u belong driving

 

I was gonna comment in this thread, but it is so full of retardedness that it is not worth my time.

 

You were going to so you did any way? Case in point I suppose ...

 

I guess "contribute" was what I meant, rather than "comment".
Comment is what I did.

And I just did it again.

 

Funny, it seems like you contributed to teh retardedness

 

this swap would be great since im sure I can get the swap legalized since California is so strict. I think as long as the engine is a newer engine than the car would work.

 

Well, at least now I know why you unilaterally destroyed the other thread.

 

Yes.

 

MM can you tell us what are you planning to do with the F20C engine? Is it the AP1 ones?

 

It's probably the best reciprocating engine that will approximate the Renesis in character and also the performance that should have been. It would be an interesting choice especially if it can bolt up to existing drivetrain without requiring firewall or subframe mods. It looks close based on basic dimensions.

 

Jeff, can we expect a build thread once you start?

 

Great Engine and excellent for a swap. My father buddy swapped an F20C, tranny, cluster, etc. etc. into this and it is reliable and Arial Atom like fast.

F20C=AP1

F22C=AP2

And MM is eventually going to do an engine swap.

Agreed with 9K, great engine indeed. I would highly consider this swap.

 

GTX3076R turbo versions easily make 525 - 600 hp

 

lol poor monchie can't leave a comment without someone talking about his cut springs.

 

He shouldn't be commenting on things at all, let alone leaving behind the drivel that he does.

 

apparently drivel is as drivel does ....

 

I'm old school. We got the "New kids on the block" commenting on my old school ways...lol


Yes, you are 100% correct.


Yes, you too.
