Would I be retarded to do this? My friend is a mechanic I think he could do an engine swap for cheap also I can buy an used engine with good compression for like $1200 so assuming everything else on the car works ok I could get a good running rx8 for $4000. I'd be willing to do regular maintenance and oil changes. How often would I need to rebuild the engine? I love the idea of an rx8 anyone else own one on here? Should I just get an MR2 instead?

But that would cost significantly more also revving to 9k rpm sounds fun
>>
>>17664020
just search any car engine that has RWD layout transmission
Nissan RB or BMW M52 is a good chocie
but since it's a small rotary engine (light weight) i am afaried putting that engine will broke the chassis

You can rev an LS to 8k with the right build no problem, and it'll be more reliable, more economical, faster and better sounding.

What makes you say that?

>>17664058
Swapping a LS1 would be way more labor intensive = way more cost

If you want a project car this badly, go full retard and swap in a ZX14 engine and $10k worth of custom gearbox.

Straight 6 and 2500cc, also so many spare parts of this
just change the block from nikasil to alusil, or just use high octane fuel for the engine

>>17664076
2200 bucks isn't a big expense for a 400 hp swap. It would cost more than that to get that kind of safe power out of a rotary

This, especially a Renesis. Swapping in a 13B is just as labor-intensive as swapping in an LS, and will result in less power.
>>
>>17664123
Where'd you get 2200? I'm thinking it would be 7k at least for parts + labor
>>
>>17664020
you can get a good running rx8 for bellow 4k, at least you can in europe dunno about shitmerica
