Title: Renesis swap into SA22C?
Post by: rei99 on April 04, 2012, 02:03:33 PM
I saw few article on the Net. Just a Japanese and and a USA car, but no video. Is so difficult? Expensive?

I would say yes, the engine mounts are completely different and I\'m not sure the 12a front cover and GSLE sump will fit on the renesis to make life easier.

With enough time and funds you could do it. I will be easier now people offer aftermarket ecu\'s for the rx8. To me your best bet is still a 4 port 13b from the TII

What Shaun said, it would be cool but it would be pricey!  A 13B from an earlier car would be easier, I don\'t think the Renesis can fit a distributor onto it so that would be a stumbling block early on.

I think it was easy... Now already had a 4port 13B, but don\'t know where is coming from (T2 or other) with an Holley and it had 140cv at wheel... I will take some HP more without Turbo... I must check price of ported engine :Tongue1
Thanks!
