But from a practicality standpoint, I think its a dumb idea.

If you refer back to my first post, I'm not complaining about this project of yours. By the way can you squeeze the 2JZ under the hood line of the 8, have you considered starting a project like building a close to real JGTC Supra?

Even good machanics can't get a car back together properly from where you are. I hate to think about beginers.

why to take out oilcoolers, piping, wires, suspensions, air conditioning, etc. etc.
It would take a lot of extra time put those thinks back.
We maked the 20B convertion on less than two months, and it was in christmas time. and we open our engines and installed everything inside new.
The supra engine that you have probably the best think that you can do is open
it and see how it is, because once you put inside the car you don't whant surprises...........
this is and advice based on experience to don't waste time.

All you ***** and commies need to cool down. Let the kid have his supra-8. He can be the first (and maybe only) RX-8 with a supra engine. Who cares? Does that make your 8 any lesser? Puh-lease.
If it goes well, you'll hear about it. If it doesn't, well... you might hear about it or figure it out soon. Almost everyone in this forum like "modifications." So what's wrong with his out-of-the-box mod? Yes it is blaphemous. But it's also "different." I wouldn't do it, but I'd like to see how it goes.
What a bunch of cry babies.

Hey Baron, I want that T-shirt, where'd you find it?
I have no idea how to comment on this thread except to say of course there is backlash. This is a ROTARY forum.

I'm sorry, I think putting a piston engine is any RX car is retarded. He could have turbo 3 rotor in there for a lot less and the car would not have lost its soul. Suppose it only made 600rwhp, comapred to 1000... both are more than you'll ever be able to use.

I agree with you!
this guy goes to the 3 rotor thread and write:

I want 30 minutes of my life back for reading this crap!!
Isn't this the same retard who we booted from the forum a few months back? The last guy had a very very similar name and kept talking about how he was going to have a SUPER fast / pimped out car...
This guy obviously has No clue about the great work my Puerto Rican buddies are doing with their 20B. Este idiota no sabe de lo que habla... no se preocupen
Whoever is working on this car is an idiot for stripping it down that much!
I'm still calling:

thank you for your comments, i wanted to get the 20B conversion too, but i wanted to have something that nobody has done yet. And i needed to strip everything off because i am going to use different oil coolers, headlights are out because i was switcing to xenon lights. And those of you saying i have attitude problem, i am just too excited for the project because i always wanted my rx8 to be full of tourque, i want to comepete against all the camaros, mustang saleens, cobras, corvette. With the 20B i could have done that, but I wanted something more reliable, and the 2JZGTE motor is known for that. For the past year I did want to get the 20B conversion, but Rgonza did a great job on his and his friends rx8, and if i did the samething, it would be just like another rx8 with a 20B. So thats why i decided to go with something out of the box. I am just too excited thats why i went over the limit, but when the project is done, rx8 is just going to get more famous, and also I love supras performance and the rx8s body design, I combined them both and I got what i dreamed of. 20b is a great motor as well but i just wanted something else, sorry for getting you guys mad but its what i want. If you guys dont like it then its not my problem, i just wanted you guys to know that it will be a successful project, its not some idiot who is working on it. The guy is a professional and worked on JGTC cars from 1997-2001. He has a good reputation in Fresno, California, and he has worked on alot of big projects like this before. He just didn't start swapping the motor out, he worked on the design for 5 months, and planned everything with a blueprint and made sure that everything would work perfect. And those who say that handling will be gone, ofcourse it will not be the same, but it will be good enough. The main purpose is to do good on straightway. It will be super quick on the freeway and thats what I want. Again sorry to get you guys annoyed or mad and if you guys can relax and just wait for the results, i would appreciate that. And i am not saying rgonza's rx8 sucks, nooooo, when i saw it i was really impressed and thats what got me into making my rx8 powerful. Good work rgonza

i just hope you don't get too stuck up on numbers
greddy owners have trouble with traction, i don't even know what will happen with "close to 1000 whp"
that said, a freeway monster you want, a freeway monster it will be.. just keep your hood closed around the rotorheads

ofcourse 1000 hp will have traction problems, but for normal driving i am going to leave it close to 10 pounds of boost, and close to 350 - 400 hp which is good enough for normal driving.

I don't mind pistons
Why not get an rb26dett and 4wd conversion. Traction problem gone . Just kidding, good luck with the swap.
Note: If anyone asks on the street, just say its a supra with an Rx-8 body, not an Rx-8 with a supra engine. You don't want rotary freaks yelling at you for something that you have complete right to do.
And whoever said this is a rotary forum need his vision checked. It's an Rx-8 forum.
