RX8 and RX7
I am sure this thread was discussed at some point and time on this site so please forgive me since I couldn't find it through the years of posts. I am still very new to the rotary scene. I was wondering if there is a major difference between the RX7 13B rotary and the Renisis I have in my 2005 RX8 GT? I just wanted to see if the turbo system on the 7 would be able to be crossed over onto my 8.:worship:

You should put a flame suit on.

short answer, no.
|
long answer yes with major mods which would make it easier and cheaper to buy a kit for the 8
|
The short answer is more accurate. No. The turbo setup for the RX-7 is designed for that car and I doubt it would even fit properly in the RX-8. Also the manifold would probably not fit the Renesis which uses totally different exhaust ports (side exhaust ports). If you are interested in turbocharging your RX-8 there are viable kits designed for this car.

Only the turbo and wastegate would interchange. Everything is completely different..
|
yeah i should have said major mods which include buying /fabbing pretty much everything to the point where there's nothing left of the original kit
|
thanks for the input guys. sorry for the dumb sounding post lol. still trying to learn my limits and the workings of this car.
|
No worries, but remember there is a LOT of awesome information here on the site. Make sure to check out the various stickies and do a bunch of reading. If you are really interested in learning the workings of the car this is the place to do it. I recommend the Major Horsepower Upgrades forum especially.

Plus, the twin turbo is useless and extremely complicated to troubleshoot. Talk about vacuum lines :)
Go with a proprerly sized turbo, add the side exhaust port magic and you're done ;) |
