Hello my name is Simon and I love rotaries. If there were high revving and power hungry piston engine as rotaries were, maybe I'd like them to. In fact, I like piston engines of that sort too:

I enjoy 4AGEs, 4G63s, KF-ZEs (apparently they can rev to 9k), B16Bs, F20C, SR20VEs, RBs, VRs (when they're aluminium) ... And obviously many others.

I also like engines that don't specifically rev very high, but none-the-less are interesting: Honda H22A1s, Honda K20s, Honda C30As, Toyota 2JZs, Toyota 1UZs, Toyota 2URs, Nissan CA18s, Nissan VG, VQs, VKs, Mazda Bs, MZRs even, Alfa Romeo Twin Sparks, V6s, 20V turbos, Lotus 900s specifically 918s.... Lots more that I respect.

However, rotaries are the most unique and amazing engines of them all in my opinion. That is why two years ago, I wanted to purchase a Veilside RX7. Considering I was 16 and a huge F&F fan, it only made sense. The impact that little veilside did to me was crazy, I mean at the time I thought it was just another highly modified car from japan! Oh boy was I wrong! Anyways, after researching some of the components in the RX7, I heard of the rotary engine and I found it memorizing to the ear... But I also couldn't comprehend the power of it, and so I wanted a 26B swap in it 😂😂😂. After looking around, I lost hope in it.

After that I wanted power in a small package. LS-swapped Miata, C30 swapped Del Sol (RWD), Toyota MR2... But then I found the perfect car for my lifestyle without any crazy swaps: RX8.

Power in a small package, high RPMs, back seats for shorties, the whole package. It's not that expensive used either: I've found for 2000$ in good care.

For tuning, I've wanted something simple, but beautiful. I've seen 2000$ 6port engines and transmissions on Ebay recently, that would be a good start. Midpipe, high flow cat for extra 5hp, then lightweight flywheel mod, sport tyres... Later some brakes, suspension, maybe some interior lightening... Etc.

Basically, I want a stage 2 RX8 for track days, ​​​​time attack, drifting, an all purpose rotary hero!!!

Some of the work I want to do in the far future is either a peripheral port or turbo... But that's for another thread.

Finally, I wanted to request a little bit of knowledge about the RX8 S1 Kuro (black) edition, is it true it made 250hp@9,000rpm? Is it possible to tune a basic 6port this way? Is it possible to buy a Kuro 6port MSP?


Thanks for all the replies, I will be making threads for some of my questions later.
