Rx7/rx8 Hybrid

[james1902]

Hi Guys,

was laying in bed the other night and for some strange reason my brain just would not turn off...(happens quite often:Giggle)...and came up with the interesting idea of an RX7 (FC3S) and transplant an RX8 engine in it.:Giggle

Now i know a decent NA Engine puts out about 160 BHP and not allot of tourque, so was wondering what the RX8 engine (228 BHP) would be like in a car that weighs less than an RX8.:driving

any thought on this or maybe you\'ve already done it?:mmmm
