I know they can do V8 swaps in RX-7's, So how long do you think till someone does a V8 swap in a RX-8?

 

Car is still new. Give it a few years. Don't write with black font!

 

yeah.. it does make it kinda hard for those with the plasma blackground >_<

 

Why the F would you want to do that? If you want a piston engine, get a car with a piston engine. rediculous..

 

the amount of money you spend on the swap you could have already purchased an older gm car with an LS1 and still have rotary power!

 

or you could pay rgonza and do a 20b conversion...

 

wonlt be till a few people pop their engines and have nothing better to do...

 

If it weren't for CA and our stupid emission, I would have saved up for a 20B and go all out N/A.

 

^ Do what i did, move out.

 

What states apply the 'stupid emissions' besides CA?

they'll do it . . . they told me they'd cut a deal on labor/fab work but you'd still have to supply parts, though they'd credit you for the engine when they sell it.

 

An RX-# would not be an RX-# without a rotary engine.

 

If you could fit the LS7 you could have 505hp of Emissions Legal (in CA!) goooooodness in an RX8. I'm sorry but that would be freaking awsome IMO.

Don't get me wrong I really love my Rotary, but it would be pretty awsome to have an LS7 in an RX8.

LS7? Hell, I'd love an LS1 in my car.

 

Dominion,

Don't use an exclamation point when you should be using a question mark.

Why? Is there some rule that I missed? What is a plasma background?

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out. Yeah, Dominion, dont use black font.

 

Lol.

 

Ah ok no more black font.

 

I use to think when the rotary died I would try this, but honestly I've grown to love the rotary and it would be like a sin or something to stick a piston in a RX.

My dream one day...a 3-Rotor NA making 350HP...sweeeeeeeet

 

That would be sweet! Well thing is I found this RX-7 on ebay an this guy was doing a V8 swap in a RX-7 an was selling the car for like $17K with the new engine not installed.

 

Met a guy in my area with a RX7-LS1. That thing was sweet.

or you could save your money and just slap some heads/cams on an LS1

 

Does the GTO use the LS1?

Not something I'd really ever do but pretty neat
