wat a waste... RX-8 is still considere new car right...

Although can be done but i myself not reccomending major engine transplant, although i did... just felt the car is different in some way...

but, with rx 8 and its light engine, its 50/50 weight distribution would be disturbed if put in another engine...

Did u know or not that Mazda designed the RX-8 around the RENESIS engine?
The moment your friend transplant the engine, it will disturb the perfect 50-50 weight distribution of the car.

Removing the rotary engine from the RX-8 will no longer make it special.

If ur fren wanna mod for more power, why not put in a 20B rotary engine like how they did it for the Speedsource Mazda RX-8 which is producing around 450hp.

if wanna experience 2jz, jz get a nissan bluebird SSS and transplant 2jz inside.... cheap n cheerful... kekeke....

OR get a complete Greddy turbokit for ur Renesis

Its a not a good idea to transplant a 2jz engine into an rx8. Normally its not recommended by any tuners but if u wan u can always try. Futhermore, u can swap the Rx8 engine with another rotery engine like a 20B with a single turbo. That would give you atleast 300 plus hp ald. Cheers.
