Crate motor...

I don't want the car.... yet. Just the motor. I kind of doubt they'll do it. but I'm still going to request that they sell me a complete motor (intake, exh. manifold, wiring, computer....).

I need a motor for my NA RX-7 and I would very much like one of these.

I am in the same boat. It will be interesting to see who offers the first upgrade package.

Hopefully Racing Beat will offer the first package.

-Merovign why don't you just find a TII engine and port it before installing it, you'll be better off doing that.

I have budget issues, and I love my 2nd Gen, but (with the way I drive) it’s motor may only have 2 more years.
A crate renesis swap would have to include the complete electronics package. Things like a cable-less throttle and a 6-speed autostick will make a complex retrofit kit. I am looking forward to this one..

I would think the new motor would be far more expensive than any other rotary crate motor. Well the 3 rotor may cost more, but you know what I mean. Being a new motor and all.

It will be interesting to see what a crate motor will be worth. I've definitely got a desire to slip one into the RX-2 Coupe I have sitting waiting for a new heart!
