i don't ask questions, i just do what the customer wants. this is a new renesis rx8 rotory going into a mk1 mr2 with a 3sgte tranny. biggest issue for him to figure out will be the axle so it doesn't interfere with the exhaust.

flywheel adapter:

clutch mounted:

adapter bolts to tranny first:

all assembled:

Should have convinced him to go with a 13b... Shame on you!

RX-8 motors are 13b's but with side ports and 3-stage intakes. Since they are side ported the apex seals will last longer and no contamination of the intake charge with exhaust and having some unburned fuel going straight out the exhaust.

BTW That is why Mazda calls them 13B REW. Which is weird because they are now classified as 2.6l and not 1.3l b/c they count both rotor displacements instead of a single rotor chamber.

seems like a goofy set up but what ever floats your boat

FreshDA9 · « **Reply #6 on:** September 03, 2009, 02:03:48 PM »

cool swap i havent seen before. to bad i gave up on my rotary kinda miss it but then again i dont. how much did the custom machining run him if you dont mind me asking.

onlyflash944 · « **Reply #7 on:** September 03, 2009, 03:46:18 PM »

you should make a kit for this, you know kind of like the rwd crx idea...

I agree with customer says is always right, I dont even bother trying to talk to people about what I would do anymore over the phone.

Nice work as always Aaron.

I always assume MR2 owners have no clue what they are doing, so just nod and go on.

for the SW20 guys, you're 100% right.

the AW11 guys are a bit more inventive. i wouldn't put it past whoever is doing this to get it done and screaming.

there's a guy swapping a mazdaspeed3 engine into an AW11 and he's made quite a bit of progress..

should haul decent ass. makes me wonder if one would fit in a spyder

Robb · « **Reply #14 on:** September 03, 2009, 09:20:06 PM »

Not trying to jack Aaron's thread, but I recall a guy a while back dropping a 4g63 into an AW11. Now that sounds...dangerous actually.

kgx · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2009, 10:24:26 PM »

i do remember seeing pics of the 4G63 powered car. there was also bill's n* that was never roadworthy.

there are a couple of SW20 guys with some nuts though.. one guy put an audi V8 in longitudinally. another is doing a n* swap transversely.

anyway, i wonder if we'll ever see pics of this swap farther along than just bolted together.

weirtech · « **Reply #16 on:** September 04, 2009, 07:58:50 AM »

i don't but some of my customers do. he's supposed to be bringing the car down so i can do the mounts for it.

surprise surprise, its awesome. You're getting too predictable. Make something shitty that sucks.

Bill is a super-asshole on the interwebs, but awesome to talk to IRL. Clever guy, doesnt give a fuck what anyone thinks, just does shit for the hell of it.

toyolla86 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 04, 2009, 03:20:00 PM »

this is sick.

ive been wanting to make some wheel adapters like that flywheel adapter to fit different lug patterns.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #20 on:** September 04, 2009, 06:02:33 PM »

i wish a D2B flywheel adapter was that easy. i have one almost in the works. probably going to need a custom flywheel rather than just an adapter

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #21 on:** September 04, 2009, 11:04:48 PM »

B tranny on a high HP D. aiming for 8's

jarebear667 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 06, 2009, 09:36:17 PM »

I'm thinking about doing an H/F to a D Tranny since I have 2x H motors and 2 d tranneys laying around. ;D

I have a machine shop at my disposal. ;D

Did you do the flywheel adaptor first and then find the bolt hole location after the input shaft centralised it? Im about to do one with a mate for 2JZ up to R32 GTR AWD. great work once again.

Henry · « **Reply #28 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:50:35 PM »

Don't the RB26's have the front diff mounted right onto the pan with a axle running right through it? Are you going to swap all that stuff over onto the JZ's pan or are you going to ditch the AWD stuff and just run it RWD?
