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...

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.

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.:burnout:

Few might argue with the fact that the Volvo S60 is probably the sexiest looking modern Volvo right now and with some serious punch under its hood, it might also be the most fun to drive.
