If your Exocet is getting a turbo 13b, you'll be able to give Revelations a run for his money with his locost. Shine on you crazy magnificent bastard.

What ends up powering this beast is a mystery, even to me ATM. I have a S5 NA block and a 13bREW sitting in the shop... 13B-REW, there is no other option. Unless you want us Canadians to try and find you a wrecked 20B Cosmo. ( I might know a guy. )

A couple of locals built a competitive GT3 N/A FD with 197whp. Granted its based on an ex-GT1 RE-Amemiya Smurf car but still. In this specific case it was advantageous due to the class multiplier assigned because of the turbos and the doritos.

Montego Blue FD's are the best cars in the world - full stop. Whatever you do, do not look up how much it costs to repaint/fix/etc a Montego Blue car. It's an 8 stage paint (iirc).

20B REPU? Or find a Mazda B2200 and a wrecked miata. Transplant the miata suspension subframes into the B2200 and then drop in the 20B. Old school auto journalist special? Brown RX-4 Wagon?

I am seriously considering buying up all of the used JDM engines in Canada from all the importers. They still go for $1500CAD here for the full long blocks (I've seen a few in Vancouver as low as $1300).

I'd be your first channel subscription. There's so much garbage out there in the rotary realm, some proper video information is sorely needed. Edit: I am beyond jealous of those seats. If you ever score a set of Magnesium MS-01s, I will lose my mind.

Awww yesss. Does this mean that the 20B mounting solution is finalized? Hard to tell from the angle but does the engine completely reside behind the strut towers? Good news on the job front?

That's some impressive bearing wear. Oil starvation for an extended time period or high revs? Edit: I'm starting to see that kind of wear on renesis engines that have used the factory recommended 20 weight oil for their entire life.

n-thing the still following the thread and seconding the required reading for RADL members. Also, now that croooober does scheduled shared container shipping, let me know when you're ordering next. I want a bunch of RX-8 goodies and Advan wheels from Japan and right now, the shipping costs are the only thing stopping me.

n8r posted:Is the rebuild thing just a matter of time or can you prevent it? I know there were a bunch of ecu updates at some point. I'm car shopping right now and an rx8 would be a fun option if it wasn't a massive pain. Rebuild is 100% just a matter of time thanks to a bunch of engineering decisions on Mazdas part. Especially the MSP designation of the RX-8 engine and what that entails (let's move the exhaust ports to the plates without changing the side seals in any way). FullBoost out of Australia recently released a decent video covering all of the issues with the 13B-MSP. OP is absolutely correct with the recommendation of a 2009+ due to those having all the tweaks Mazda could do to the engine (especially the oil injection revisions). Edit: And the 09+ transmission is now a stronger Mazda unit instead of the Aisin from the NC Miata and FRS/BRZ McTinkerson fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Jan 15, 2019 |

 That looks amazing. I always thought that the 3 rotors sat further forward in the FD's if you kept the stock transmission location. I had decided on not swapping a 20B into my RX-8 but now you're making me reconsider.

Awwwwww yesssssss. Finally something is working out in your favour (apart from your place not burning down obviously). I've got the popcorn ready. I know of another CYM FD btw in Canada that the owner would probably part with, but it has been properly messed with (including running a GTX3071 that spools backing out of the driveway).

Which swap kit did you end up using? V8Roadster, CXRacing? I've been eyeing up their swap support ancillaries to supplement the chassis on mine and was wondering if anyone had used them. Nice to see more people putting the chassis and it's ridiculous stock body fender wells to good use. 295 wide square?

Every time I convince myself that no, I do not need to swap a 20B into my car, a 13B-REW will suffice, you go and post updates! That looks amazing and from above, absolutely factory. Fantastic. Have any of the goodies for the 911 engine swap arrived yet?

I was always going to use one per port, so on a 20B, you'd use six. Stock lower manifold with an adapter flange.

You're not the only one.  All 911's should be powered by Doritos. Regarding the CYM engine, what's the quality of the Mazda reman blocks? Are the REWs better than the MSPs? If so, then double the cost could be worth it but I still don't think those extra thousands buys you that much more vs the care and detail you would be putting into rebuilding the core you already have.
