Buy/trade the rx8 for a nissan car and then swap that engine in there if you want to. Don't change what the Rx8 came with. Rotary enthusiasts = Rx7/Rx8 owners. Its like being like one of those "aholes" who swap an LS1 into an Rx7:wallbash: :nono: (A Single/twin turbo rotary will put the LS1 into shame we all know that!) Please don't be like one of em. (Dont change what the car came with, change the car if you want to get a different engine) Peace.

actually I dont agree with this. There are quite a few 400hp cam only LS1's so a 350hp turbo Ren does not fit with what you are saying. The LSx platform is not too terribly heavy and the vette seems to handle quite well with it.

I dont understand what peoples problem with engine swaps is. If it wern't for swaps there would be no Cobra.

Stop being fanboys.

On the subject or your motor I would make Mazda replace it. If they will not do a LSx swap.

regardless of whether it's a fanboi or not, the best option for him (based on what he described) would be getting a renesis, regardless if mazda covers it. He made it sound like he wants his car back quick. If there was some kind of kit for a common swap, then it might be reasonable, but there's going to be a lot of time and money going into a swap for this car.

I used to be kind of against piston swaps... but they grew on me over time when done well with good engines. I'd love to see an LS7 in an 8.
