Can rx8 engine internals be used in a 13b or is their any or no point i.e better rotors rotor housings  seals etc

JBerg

I assume you mean to be used in a "normal" 13B?
housings have no peripheral exhaust port...(side port exhaust instead)
rotors require machine work before they can be used...
umm...e shaft can be used I think, but read around the foums for more info :)

We warranty our rebuilt engines for Detonation, track day\'s and RWYB and NOW for 30 months which is two and half years or 30,000 miles
We also build all types of race or road engines.
We build race and track cars too.
Any kind of porting undertaken.
Single turbo conversions.

yea i agree what do you want to acheve. i know people that have lost 1/2 a sec onthe 1/4 mile by changing there rotating assmbly and other people that have gained 1/2 a sec on a race track (rx8 internals are much liter than std)
lite weight = faster reving/less touqe.  good for race track
heavey bits = slower reving /more touqe. good for drag racing
 
well thats how i see it anywayz
 
im sure some one will differ

Just with the rx8 engine been newer and maybe of a better design easier to obtain mix and match to get a better motor thinking of bridge porting or pp N/a motor

well why not just go for an rx8 motor? its about as powerful as an n/a bridged 13b but with better drivability than even a stock 13b 6port, let alone a bridged one.

saying that i doubt it will sound as cool :P

judging from what i read is the rx8 motor a sort of neutered version of the older engines no insult intended mind u I\'m no expert
