OK here goes....I got this idea. V8 conversions are great, I drove one and liked the power, didn't like the added weight or the required tranny work and the un-exoticness of it all.....did LOVE the sound though.
Now having owned several RX-7's I LOVE that rotary engine and have had over 200K miles on each with NO problems whatsoever. The new RX8 "Renesis" 13B puts out wonderfully SMOOTH horsepower and torque that are well within the apparent tollerances of the stock 901 tranny. Not to mention it's a VERY light motor that loves to rev and is more powerfull than a well built 2.0 4cyl. Has anyone done a rotary (12A or 13B) conversion? Does anyone know where to get a tranny adaptor plate? I tried contacting Racing Beat who are the rotary guru's but they have nothing yet. So basically I'm starting from scratch and any info would be GREATLY appreciated. Aloha, Kelly |
