no and no, unless your willing to do a motor swap.

With enough money and skill much is possible.

And make you one of the best sleepers out there....just ask the guy on LS2.com with the LS2 powered miata

Socr8tes

Not one of the best... sleepers aren't supposed to look fast. An LS2-powered '8 would just perform as it looks it should (in a straight line, anyway).

i have a little money to invest i would rather keep the rotory engine though. what kind of motorswap are you suggesting stroker. and how much can i look to get out of greddy turbo kit with the engine streetported and reinforced? i ve been looking on the searches but cant find anything specifically about what i am looking for so any help is appreciated.

ttrotar

expo 1 thanks for your input. but i would like to keep the original engine for reliability purposes. but i would like to have high horsepower. i guess i cant have both. right now i have a 350z and was gonna turbo that with the greddy kit but its real expensive with building the engine and the turbo kit and installation.

i am building an 93 rx7 now with my dad and love the way the car is so i decided to sell me 350z and buy a rx8 to match. lol

i was looking on this forum under turbo ill to there thanks djseto.

But no1 would expect a sub 5 0-60 from an 8 on the street now would they?

With a big turbo and the boost turned way up, you could probably achieve gobs of HP at the rear wheels. Only problem is, your daily driver would probably last, oh, maybe a day or so.

come back in a couple of years when there is actually a decent aftermarket....

no and no what???? motor swap?? do you truly know what you saying, i seen this car get almost 500hp. which its actually the most you can squeeze out this engine. 350-375 wont be a problem if you got the money to do it.

youpey

you could do a 20b swap, it is a 3 rotor rotary. will cost a pretty penny if you arent doing it yourself...and if you were it would be a lot too

Somebody made a Renesis do 500hp? Where?

Kid_Icarus

I thought the 500hp rx8 was just the shell with an fd 13b engine dropped in. If its from a renesis motor I'd like to see the specs and parts they used to get that kind of horse power.

**Although if I had the cash and another 8 for a daily driver I wouldn't mind doing the cosmo swap.

playdoh43

he claims he knows couple of people with 500hp rx8s, and he said he was gonna give us information about the shop/people that did it, but never provided them.

i did provided the info, i posted on that thread where i mention it and also on the tech garage. i said as long as you got the money its possible. if you do decide to do a motor swap this guys have told me that you can get easy 900+. if you interested just gently ask for the info again. or click where it says, : find all post by Knight7.

its just amazin how many people here dont know what they got and what they can do with it. they just sit talkin nonsense.

Ike

Great, and it's far easier and far cheaper to make an 800hp Hyundai than what you're talking about. Sure lots of things are possible with enough money, but at some point you're stupid to not just buy a different car. At this point in time the RX-8 just isn't a good choice if you're someone that craves 300+ whp.

You're the one that doesn't "dont know what you got" and the one talkin nonsense.

playdoh43

can you please gently provide the info again in this thread please? id like to see what types of mod is needed for a rx8 to reach that type of hp number.
