hey guys, i have a question:

i have a 2004 rx8,i want to switch the engine for a 2011 rx8 engine.

would the 2011 engine fit just fine ?

 

why

 

Plenty of reasons EricB.

xxrx8xx04:
It will physically fit. However, there are quite a few changes, including the ECU, the oil injection lines, the oil metering pump, etc... that will add quite a bit of work and lots of money on top. Be prepared to spend $5k+ on top of the price of the engine.

 

well i want to change it because im having engine and transmission problems,and im just wondering if the transmission and engine would fit fine

 

Other than the wiring changing a bit on the transmission, the transmission is a direct swap. The engine most certainly isn't, due to everything else you need to update.

 

alright,thanks man

 

Well if he wanted to do it for an updated engine, its kind of pricey.

Since his engine is going out, its not too bad but its still cheaper to rebuild/use another s1 motor.

If i was swapping a different engine it would be a 13b, something that makes power.

 

You already have a 13b











(i know, i know)

 

By the time you finished, I bet you'd find it's easier and cheaper to just sell your current 8 and buy a newer one.

 

Search Newb. There is a sticky about this and one other thread before that started by me..............
