Swapping an engine is a ******* huge undertaking and quite a bit of dough, so most people aim much higher than a 180hp I6. Go big or go home. You may want to buy an E36 M3 if that's your bag. They're not as fun to drive as an RX8 but you can buy an entire car, and a cherry one at that, for less than the price of performing this swap.

I cant find the subforum, I love the site but the indexing of subjects and the ease of use needs a tidy up. My point is that Ive seen a lot of conjecture about this subject but the engine choices seem ill considered at best. An engine thats not too difficult a fit, has the same smooth revving and power to weight that the rotary does but with added benefits of torque, easy maintenance and double the fuel economy. If its practical I`ll have a go, I think its by far the best engin e choice.
The RX-8 engine space is something in between an BMW E36 and E46.
