oh snap. an rx8 thats actually worth having.

[hmongxcuz]

haha shoulda done that instead of rotary

[auxiliary]

wow I want to buy my rx8 back and do this.

I was waiting for hinson to do a lsX kit but they said they had like no desire to.


+1 that's hot

[cdhtang]

does that mess up the weight distribution on the rx8?

[bandydesign]

Wow, I like that! I just hope they have a diff that can handle that motor!

it weighs a few hundred pounds more, so im sure it does. still badass IMO

[redpanda]

badass for sure.

In the thread the guy said he built the motor to hold 1500 horse power. I doubt he cares about weight distribution.

He just wants to go really really fast on the highway.

Well 1500 hp will snap the drive components from the RX, I hope he took that into account before its sitting on the side of the road.

i would assume he did... i dont think a dumbass would get an engine with 1500 horsepower.

[Alan®]

so is that out of the newer supra in japan or something else. that thing is going to be bish to tune with the vvt-i

[RUFFIAN]

nice but the balance is all f'ed up now. LS1 might have been a better swap but I know this set up will be fun to thrash none the less.

[04Prerunner]

dizzam..thats indeed an RX8 worth having..

[David88vert]

Hell, just do a 13B-REW or 20B if you are doing a swap - better balance. If I'm doing a 2JZ swap, I'd put it in a Lexus IS instead.

[DinanM3atl]

Put in an S38...

[OneSlow5pt0]

nothing wrong with the renesis engine,RX-8s were built for the track not the strip....but i agree 20B would be hot

[Da_unknown]

oh snap. an rx8 thats actually worth having.:werd:

[crxsiguy]

nothing wrong with the renesis engine,RX-8s were built for the Mazda Service department not the Street....but i agree 20B would be hot
Fixed it for ya! :goodjob:

[TheGrillMan]

now thats an 8 id own

[87 Turbo II]

Fixed it for ya! :goodjob:
screw you, you're going to spread even MORE rotary rumors.

[SixSquared]

I wanna see it actually running. Putting an engine in a car is one thing... the wiring and fuel delivery and everything else are what takes the time and knowledge.

[Footefan52]

Look out clark hahaha

[Kevykev]

Some would consider that blasphemy!

[Tank]

nice concept but why the ebay looking manifold, but looks amn sweet 2JZ FTW

[Cyclonehatch]

Why the VVt-i 2j? Weaker than the regular 2jzgte and harder to get certain parts in America.

[NevrNufTorq]

just looks like an is300 motor to me. didnt know anyone ever had a build on one of them could make 1500 hp but who knows!! :D

[b18cCuzz]

Damn thats hot

[The Green Monster]

I saw a picture of a Fox Body with a 2JZ in it the other day

[speedminded]

Put in an S38...Would be just as heavy but i'd still rather have the S38. There's one at the shop (AutoFab) in an E24 putting out over 600whp....the engine was built to hold well over 1,000. :ninja:
