LEGHUMPERS UNITE!!!!!!!!!

are you ready spend A LOT of money?

Ross_Dawg 10-05-2009 05:45 PM

Oh lawd...

Hai Amber, do you have at least $20k for this engine swap? If not, have a great day researching turbo threads :)

Mawnee 10-05-2009 05:47 PM

Just get one of these blowers. Then your car will be good for 225mph!

Its a real bargain for that kind of power..and its made by a real name brand :D

Did I hear LEGHUMPERS UNITE?


Amber, doing this engine swap is not going to be cheap

shakeyourbrakes 10-05-2009 05:49 PM

Ross_Dawg 10-05-2009 05:51 PM

True that, I have an old 3rd brake light that will easily get me some new Volks

in all seriousness, what is your budget? being upfront with you, I hope you have about 15,000 put away just for parts.. labor and time is a whole nother issue.

nikkdizzle 10-05-2009 06:13 PM

hmmm, interesting...i dont know if you're ready for this.

As long as someone has money, they can have anything built

mscamp02 10-05-2009 06:22 PM

yeah as long as you have over 20 thousand you may be able to get it working right

gh8st 10-05-2009 06:23 PM

flame on!

Amber 10-05-2009 06:35 PM

really that much? my friend owns ART automotive racing tech. so labor isnt that big of a problem, and his brother has an rx7 and wants to do it to his as well. but he's told me that he found the complete 3 rotor stock for around 4 grand. which apparently gives me up to 400 hp after tuning and the whole deal. so i dont see how it could get to be that much, unless im upgrading every part and buying it all seperately.

Pico 10-05-2009 06:54 PM

Those Brembo brake covers add a shocking 125bhp

VS8 10-05-2009 06:56 PM

irrelevant
but that 40th anniversary edition looks really good

Pico 10-05-2009 07:01 PM

Thanks man!

rx7's way different...its a lot easier to do it on an rx7 then it is on the rx8

You said right there- you WILL be upgrading every part.

Have you ever rode in properly turbo'ed RX-8? How do you know it's not enough? Have you ever drove a 600+rwhp >3.0 liter car? Do you have any clue how much of a handful they are?

VS8 10-05-2009 07:32 PM

just get the rx7 twin turbos...they bolt right on

Gr8Bullet 10-05-2009 07:34 PM

Gotz da moneys?? people spend at least $10k on a good turbo'd 13b.

hkspoweredrx8 10-05-2009 07:38 PM

you should probably post this in the major mod. section. ;)

danzman 10-05-2009 08:33 PM

ya im thinkin of selling my stock 2 rotor too, for a 8 rotor. 9 rotor is hella out of my budget. hella

damn right. to get the engine in there you have to have alot of custom fab... the ecu is Microtech ecu will run you a little bit. and im gunna agree with Chickenwafer. Youmight want to turbocharge a renesis. i promise you. you wont spend less than 15,000 on a 3 rotor setup if you plan to have it running. get the esmeril racing kit. That will give you close to what a 3-rotor will, with less the complication...

btw, do you kno how much my mechanic spent on just the turbo manifold for the 3-rotor (has to be custom made)?? $3500. ouch.

to elaborate on that thought:

You could also save this thread by posting pic's of your 8 w/a 3rotor being transplanted into the car...w/you standing next to it while holding a laptop w/you logged onto the rx8 club while wearing a name tag w/your forum name and current date....being nekkid and attractive wouldn't hurt either

Nice, you should be fine just as long as you have enough money for labor and partially parts because although your friend owns the company he still needs to profit (unless he's doing it for fun) and considering that this project is not as simple as it may sound. You might want to read up on some other 20b/3 rotor intalls and look at what FI can do to an RX8 as well. Staying NA for 400hp, 20b is great but trying to get the thing in the RX8 and working properly will bring the cost up faster than you would assume. Things could go wrong throughout the build as well and will contribute to your expenses. It's a great route IMO but just go in there with an open mind I suppose. $20,000 like some of the others have mentioned is a good amount of money to be able to spend on this project and might even be enough since you friend owns the company.:ylsuper:

Let me know how everything goes, my situation is almost similar.

Spoolin8 10-05-2009 10:21 PM

your not a chick, so its in no way similar

I definitely said "almost similar"

also meaning that I'm looking for this engine and I know someone who can do the job....

Amber 10-07-2009 05:24 PM

good, I smell hater's but its ok. You might be the only girl with a 3 rotor rx8 if you decide to go through with it.

Fortunately there are a few people here that can avoid responding like a retarded child

you can start here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/esmeril-racing-20b-conversion-kit-guide-testing-waters-183045/

if you have the funding and the labor it can be done, but it's not a simple bolt-in.

bhop 10-08-2009 08:58 PM

I think she can do it if she actually goes through with it. Seeing a women with a 3 rotor........:nono: . ....... Just kidding, hope you decide to do it.

True, the other hot racer chick on here has the 4 rotor...

bhop 10-08-2009 09:31 PM

Really, where is she? It's not street driven is it? I'm assuming its a time attack car or something along thoe lines, lol.
