RX-7 Engine Swap
Ok everyone...sorry to do this since I am a new RX-8 owner. I was wondering if you can swap the twin turbo rx-7 motor into the rx-8 or any rx-7 engine at that? Bash on me all you want...but I did try to search for it. Thanks
|
Sure you can if you have another 20k laying around...
|
why would it cost you 20k. ??
|
isn't it like 5 or 6k? I mean your not modifing the stock twin turbo engine are you?
|
You'll loose the ecu which controls everything in the car. I don't see it as a practical engine swap.
|
ok thanks guys...i was just wondering...since I dont actually plan on doing this now...just looking for info
|
It's not an easy swap.
The JDM JIC-Magic D1 Drift Grand Prix RX-8 car uses the 13B-REW of the RX-7 and puts out around 450-500 hp. But they had to modify the engine bay, because the Renesis sits farther back in RX-8's engine bay than the TT 13B-REW does in the RX-7. |
If you are going to drop that kind've money, you may want to look at a 20B (3 rotor) swap instead. Big $, but a few shops have done it already

I think I've talked about doing a 20B swap and from what I was told, it isn't worth it because in comparison to the Greddy Turbo, the Greddy will put out ~230-240HP where the 20B will put out less power than that and both will cost about the same.
That is what I was told, but what do I know? |

yea, theres a shop in jersey taht did a swap, and in race mode is 900hp im sure thats at the flywheel, but i can handle that....
i think its a service they offer, and there is a thread with a link to their site. im far too lazy to find it though. |
Thanks for all the info again...I will think about if I want to do the swap now. I doubt I will do it any time soon...but who knows.
