3 rotor?
so im thinkin of selling my stock 2 rotor engine for a 3 rotor. 4 rotor is wayyy out of my budget, and just a turbo is not enough..
any suggestions or thoughts? . . . . . thanks, amber <3 |

LEGHUMPERS UNITE!!!!!!!!!
are you ready spend A LOT of money? |
Oh lawd...
Hai Amber, do you have at least $20k for this engine swap? If not, have a great day researching turbo threads :) |
Just get one of these blowers. Then your car will be good for 225mph!
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...&sName=Blowers 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 |
im thinking about selling my amber corners for the r-magic widebody kit..
|
True that, I have an old 3rd brake light that will easily get me some new Volks

As long as someone has money, they can have anything built |
yeah as long as you have over 20 thousand you may be able to get it working right
|
flame on!

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.

Those Brembo brake covers add a shocking 125bhp
|
irrelevant
but that 40th anniversary edition looks really good |
Thanks man!

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? |
just get the rx7 twin turbos...they bolt right on
|
Gotz da moneys?? people spend at least $10k on a good turbo'd 13b.
|
you should probably post this in the major mod. section. ;)
|
ya im thinkin of selling my stock 2 rotor too, for a 8 rotor. 9 rotor is hella out of my budget. hella

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. |

the only way this thread is going to be saved is if you are hot and have the nudes to prove it
|
^+1
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 |

Seriously thou your talking Big Big money to do that conversion. Take it from the guys here that know their stuff on the Wankel's. Don't think anyone here is going to point you in the wrong direction. |
Unless by wrong direction you mean my bedroom.... :aroused:

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. |
your not a chick, so its in no way similar
|
i lol'd

:lol:

I definitely said "almost similar" also meaning that I'm looking for this engine and I know someone who can do the job.... |

|

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. . |
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.
|
this thread makes me:rofl:
