Because I have an F20C. lol
And, the 2 liter has a proven boosted track record (pun intended).
I don't like the idea of adding stroke for displacement (on a turbo motor). It lowers the safe RPM band.

Yes Please

Makes sense, so you are boosting it too? I guess that is a given though.

Looks like it could use a swiffer, kinda dirty but looks good man.

Clean swap, however it won't come close to the rotary in handling, no way -- no how. In a straight line, yeah you'd be ahead but the fun the Renesis gives is something else.

There was a guy years ago on 8club attempting something like this, nice to see it completed.

Post up videos of it in action.

If the weight is sufficiently far enough back and low the balance of the car will remain largely the same, you gain FAR more power under the curve without sacrificing any performance. The "benefit" of the rotary at that point is personal preference at best.

Also, I would be willing to be money a well done swap will annihilate a stock Renesis RX-8 on a road course with plenty of turns, not just a straight line.

Nice work! Looks like you guys can't throw out the Renesis fast enough lol.

That is an amazingly ignorant statement. But I expect no less around here these days.
The suspension doesn't know it has a different motor in it. As long as the weight is the same and in the same place, the car will behave exactly the same way.

I think seven years and multiple motors is a fair sign of patience.

It's not the motor M&M, it's the rotary wankle gods that take your 50/50 distribution from you and anyone in your family.

" I saw a guy do an sr20 swap and I Jizzed in my pants " lol that should be a verse in the song...

Awesome swap, kudos. Honestly I could do without the flying M on the valve cover, let the engine be what it is, let the car speak for itself, I bet you wouldn't put a Nissan burger emblem on the bumpers

50:50 weight distribution is way overrated plus I wouldnt be surprised its still close to that after the swap.

MazdaManiac

iTrader: (3)

Hardly. On the track, a 1% move to the front translated into a LOT of understeer.

You're wasting your breathe. Anyone dumb enough to make a statement like won't understand.

angeljoelv

Id be glad to change that, But you are like a gazillion miles away.

Cylestyne

Ignorant statement my foot. You will ruin the intricate balance that this car has. A SR20DET does NOT have the same weight or size as the Wankel (~500lbs for the SR20DET and the 250lbs for the Wankel, a MASSIVE 250lbs difference), neither will it be positioned behind the front suspension. So it WILL throw the handling off unless you make significant modifications to the chassis and cut the firewall in the process.

Ignorant statement my foot! LOL
Very nice swap.

I like that bumper on the back of that blue one

So much phail in such a small space.
You better hit the books..

Cylestyne

Good luck with your F20C swap. That's probably the reason why you're blabbering on like an ignorant person.
