different engine?
 

Anyone have a diff engine in their 8? i remmember before turbos came out someone was HP hungry ripped engine out and swapped for a rx7 engine? correct me if im wrong.. also any imput... just discuss.

Only engine swap I've heard was with a 20B 3 rotor done by Acosta Motorsports in Jersey. I think, however, they want something like 60k for the swap....re-fucking-diculous.

the new member from jic majic hinted yesterday they had made a change

I thought it had been published that JIC went back to the REW engine for their RX-8?

As cool as a motor swap sounds.. there is no legal way to swap out the motor in your RX8. Be prepared to get creative come inspection time.

i'd use a cosmo motor with a single turbo. fast and cheap :D

I'd commit blasphemy and install an LS2/T-56.

Or LS7, if I could afford it.

i remember LONG LONG LONG ago that someone pulled a little prank or what not and said they swapped the rotary out and replaced it with a v8 and tried to make others believe that he really did this...

The JIC drift car is running a REW. They had it at Sevenstock last year.
