As far as going fast, 125 mph is the fastest I've gone in ny mostly stock '04 before l let up, plenty fast for me,
but I take my enjoyment in my daily driving, not the track.

Lol yeah bc so many people swap rotaries into piston car. Ohhhh wait...... Yep I would say my car is improved quite a lot. It may not be as "nimble" as the roturd purists would like but it's like reeling in dead fish when it straightens out. And my motor is just a lil ol stock LS1.

I like how they closed the section introduction thread and ignored it because everyone knew the section title sucked *****.

It's not that hard to understand.

Well that's you. I enjoy swapping superior motors into deserving cars. It's like giving a car a better life. Everytime I pass a RX8 now I chuckle. That chuckle turns into a laugh when that shriek beside me goes distant. Didn't even have to downshift.

I'd structure it as: (with whatever names, this is just arbitrary)
Swap Forum
- Different rotary in 8
- Renesis in something else
- LS in 8
- 2JZ in 8
- Izuzu V6 in 8 (he can be by himself)
- other piston in 8
The root forum could have threads I think, allowing 1 thread like this without a problem or needing to duplicate. It can happen at some nesting level, just unsure where that level sits in the admin functions.

Too many sub forums. You only need two. And allow threads in the main sub section for people looking for info on drivetrain swap stuff and other general tech info and this stupid thread. And Renesis into another car, who cares, this is an RX-8 forum.
Engine and Drivetrain Conversion Forum
-Rotary Engine Conversion
-Piston Engine Conversion
That's it. No stupid names either.

Deep down you know that an LS swapped RX8 vs. a turbo renesis RX-8, with everything else being the same and same driver, the LS swap will win everywhere. Roll races, drag strip, and road course. After adding the weight of all the turbo equipment you are probably within 50lbs of an LS swap which is the difference between your gas tank being full or near empty...

Man math must not be your strong side. A 20b weighs alot.more than an LS1. A 20b with a huge Borg Warner turbo and all piping, intercoolers, oil temp control parts, etc rivals the weight of a SBC. Also being so far forward, your crowned weight distribution is like a fox body mustang. On a serious note, how much power can u say they realistically make? I cant imagine much more than if i were to spray my car with a 125 wet shot (which is very safe on my fuel system and on a stock motor). Plus all i have extra is a bottle and and some solenoids. Ive gained maybe 50 lbs whereas your 20b was heavier out of the gate before all the turbo stuff. So same hp, lighter car......well you know the rest.
