You would have to change the accelerator pedal and fab the mounts but yes.
It's pointless though, once you tackle the build it is worth to get rid of the rat's nest and reliability issues created by a craptastic twin turbo system, more than 70 vacuum hoses and a shitty\stupid ecu (both the 8 and 16bit ones stink)

the problem is my renny engine is almost gone and i don't have that much money to buy a renny engine an make it turbo. i love 13b rew sequential turbo
i was thinking to put rew and later change the turbo an add power fc
the easy way to get turbo in cheaper....
guys plz make me correct if i m wrong

You will be spending the same amount of money, if not more swapping than to boosting the renny.

There's no real "rebuild kit". You have to open the engine and find what needs to be replaced.
Generally speaking it's anything between 2000 and 4000$ in parts.
Turbo kit = search.

And yes Plz search the forum.

Nope. If you're spending 500$ for a rebuild you're doing it wrong. Join him in the forum search please.

akib 04-01-2012 03:38 PM

the prob is in our country no one have rebuild rotary....
so i think it would be better to buy a 13brew engine. will stock twin turbo fit on rx8 with its ecu? if its plz tag me the link and sum picture
again thanx to u guys i got the link off rew mount http://www.rx8performance.com/products/engine-mount

Thanx bse50 and schartz

Where are you from? Rebuilding something you don't know on your own isn't smart. Send me a PM so that we don't clog this thread :)

sub'd for fellow stancewi member and a cool project!:icon_tup: car looks good and that display is even better.

dznutzuk 04-02-2012 02:11 AM

No matter how many people ask the same question, the answer will still be the same. No, the stock twin turbos from the rew will NOT fit.

olddragger 04-02-2012 07:55 AM

what do you have going on in the oil coolers? I like that.

dznutzuk 04-02-2012 10:41 AM

Akib, where are you from???

Nice, now you need to make one of these:

dznutzuk 04-04-2012 02:33 AM

I have it setup with the 8 tb, not easy...

shr3da 04-18-2012 03:19 AM

is this going to be another T04Z Extended port combination?

olddragger 04-21-2012 08:48 AM

OMFG!
you are going to suck squirrels up that thing!

Have you read any threads by Turblown? They have already stated that they have already installed/tuned turbo's for the S2
/thread jack

OP, what numbers are you shooting for with that turbo?

benben01 04-21-2012 01:46 PM

^^ IIRC the tuned solution for S2 was a standalone ECU. By the time I tally up the cost of a custom turbo kit, it will easily cross the $10K mark. Just hoping for a tune/flash be available sometime this year so I can start planning in the fall/winter season when the RX will be parked.

RX8Soldier 04-21-2012 02:05 PM

If you think a swap will cost less than $10k, you have more more reading ahead of you.

Oh yeah.. I know it's gonna cost more than $10K. For my situation, a Petit S/C makes the most sense when they are available again hopefully w a tune. Either way, I am interested in seeing how this build turns out :)

rxsevenor8 04-25-2012 10:45 PM

love it. :)

RXeligion 04-25-2012 11:19 PM

Subscribed. I love these REW builds.

Gotta love a garage with a powerful heater :) Pull that motor! Pull that motor!
