What do you guys think? Instead of spending $5000 on a turbo...

I think you will still end up spending at least 5k to build/repair that engine and get it to work properly.

 

My local shop quoted me $1500 for complete engine swap. Hoping that there is no repairs - $3000 for everything? If you have more money you could go for a 20B

Maybe if that is going into an RX-7. The person selling that motor and the shop have no clue. 16-valve DOHC ??? Your going to put a 15 year old motor into a car without a rebuild just to go up to 255HP? You also forgot to price the custom work needed for the ECU to work & getting a RX-7 trans to work.

 

eh.. you should do your research... a swap's gonna cost you much more than what you're hoping

 

Yeah, you are probably right and honestly I didn't reseach it... I sounded to good to be true to begin with.

 

I don't know who that "shop" is but if it's in the Chicago area they are full of it for a complete engine swap. Or my definition of "complete" is vastly different from theirs.

 

the thing i know is rx7 engine and tranny and ecu every thing is work fine with rx8 included A/C

 

Can someone translate this??

 

what he said was .................


"I have no clue but want to up my post count ."

 

People complain about the reliabilty of the Renesis. The 13B-REW is in a completely different league.

I can't see how $1500 would cover a swap. The engine mounts are completely different, the ECU is completely different, the wiring harness is completely different. You'd have to swap in a different tranny and mount it too. You'd need a custom drive shaft, You'd need a clutch. Will the PPF interfere? etc. Anything can be done, but it's going to cost significant money.

Honestly most people would be better off buying a different car. If you want to REALLY enjoy a car, start doing track days. You become accustomed to power quickly. I have a friend with a 600hp 2600lbs FC who even agrees with that.

 

Woot!! Woot!! Free Post!!

it'll cost at least 15 grand for a completely built 13brew + turbo setup.. call dave@kdr and he'll tell you
