Given that you're not a troll (if you are, please die.):
Where are you from? What's your current problem? What's your car mileage?
You can get a shipped rotary engine for way less than what you steted. You simply have to know where

You must have the AT 4-port then for just 190 bhp. What you should care about is whp, what you're REALLY making at the wheels. IF you want more power, get a turbo or supercharger and get it tuned.

There's a guy who swapped for an LS1. He had to do some maufactoring of parts and as of last, I don't believe he had his gauges working yet. Search and you will find him easily. He has a video on youtube.
Oh, and if you just wasted my time trolling, then suck it sideways.

Don't think he is trolling coz thats roughly what i need to pay if i wanna get one from US as well.
@zafar, we can't really answer your question because we don't know:
1. How you want the engine to behave like, e.g big displacement n/a, to be turbo'd, etc
2. How much does it cost for you to install one of those engine that you want from (1)?
3. How much is your budget?
4. Do you know anyone who can rebuild ur engine locally, is it cheaper than (2)?

put in a bmw straight six. or a nissan straight six. or their vq35/37.
any engine swap can be done with enough money.
$7000 is a lot. you cant buy one from here and have it shipped?
and only the low power, 4 port engines have 190 BHP. the high power 6 port engines have 220-230BHP.
PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRAKE HORSEPOWER AND WHEEL HORSEPOWER.
average rx8 with 6 port engine has 185whp. thats 220bhp.

You better look at used parts then for an engine because generally speaking you're talking a tranny swap, engine swap, ECU swap, motor mount swap, intake swap, exhaust swap and a lot of moving stuff around in the engine bay. That will run you up far more than the cost to get another renesis.
It doesn't help when we don't know what country you're in Zafar.
