Hey all you Rx8 guys...

I've got a few questions for you guys as I start a little research into what it woudl take to get a renesis into a 1st generation Rx7..

How does the motor mount to the chassis in the Rx8? is it attached on the front cover, rear cover, housinging? If I recall it is part of a subframe of sorts that mounts to the actual body of the car correct?

Anyone got some pictures of their car up on a lift to share?


planing on using the Rx8 block/tranny.. Not so sure on the intake setup as of yet. It'll be full standalone ECU, so I don't know that I'll be able to actuate all of the vairable length intake track peices easily, and I also don't know that the engine sit low enough for the intake system to clear the hood..

Just thinking out loud.. lend any thoughts you have this way..

 

2nd question..

does anyone know if these engines use the same 225mm clutch assemblie as the previous rotaries, or no?

 

Have you seen Yawpower's website yet? That should answer some questions at least.

Anyone with a 1st gen had better know who Paul Yaw is...
