R26b
 

Would a rx8 be drivable with a R26B?

hell no

drivable yes, street drivable nope.

Woohoo.

Best thread of the year already and we aren't even 24 hrs in. :lol:

Any car is drivable with any engine, assuming you can get the engine in the car, attached to some type of driveline, and running.

I think there are only about 5 in the world and their already in race (show) cars. All the other 4 rotor engines are made up of parts centered around a non-Mazda made eccentric shaft. The true R26B has a bearing in the center to reduce vibration. The parts engines do not. A R26B is a peripheral port engine that would be difficult to drive at low rpms and would be very loud at any speed.

Geoff Bruce @ Precision Engineering can provide you the parts to build a center bearing 4 rotor

They can also build a 6 rotor engine

Thank, I'll keep that in mind when the time comes. :)

Why not just consider a v8 swap?
