    Really glad you made a video like this breaking everything down. As expected, all of it just costs way too much for the average person and you are better off just sticking with the stock RX8 and enjoying it for what it is. The REW definitely just seems like less of a headache if you are trying to make more power and they cost basically the same as the hybrid Renesis. Doesn't make sense to push the limits of a Renesis block for the same price of an REW and it doesn't even care at the same power level.
    I really hope one day 3-rotors enter the conversation considering how expensive REWs are nowadays. If someone could figure out manufacturing costs of having a custom made 3 rotor with 3D printing or just advancements in machining efficiency, that would be so awesome. If I was going to spend that much money just getting a stock engine, I would probably just do something even cooler with the 3 rotor lol.
    At the moment though, I'm happy with my RX8 power wise. It makes enough power to still have fun street driving on the backroads, and the 9K+ rpm sound is just unbeatable. For a daily-driver fun car, the RX8 is really quite good.

    Honestly at the end of the day, I think the thing all of us are really waiting for is the results of a turbo hybrid renesis. I want to see what the exhaust flow is capable of and I want to see how long it will last, what the turbo response is like, and how much horsepower it will make

    Im at about 25k on my REW swap on a 6k car. My REW two years ago cost me 16k for a new build by parts. Mazda at the time was raising engine plate costs by 100$ a month per for each plate. Biggest problem is compatible parts since nobody makes a full kit. Ive wasted more than 5k on useless parts.
    The REN you can basically use all stock systems which is the money saver. You basically just pick out a turbo, make a manifold and weld up some tubing.
    The rotarywerks crossmember is really good, but may need cutting to fit. Otherwise their turbo placement wont get you a large enough turbo to justify going REW hp wise. Since the REN can get you to 350-400 range.

      @TexasVexes วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I was lucky to have gotten my REW block in 2020, build wasn’t done until 2022. I’m running really mild power for longevity atm. 311whp on this REW is easy on it, on a renesis I really wouldn’t trust it for very long. Eventually I may want to run e85 etc, but just taking it easy. Good luck on your build.

      @@TexasVexes Thanks, you aswell. Pricing wise I worked with Adam at REC and we managed to buy plates before mazda's cutoff when prices skyrocketed. I also have a greddy turbo rx8 that is around 300. Not to sure what I am going to do with it to be honest.
      The thing is tho that people sell rx8 engine parts all the time on facebook, sometimes for 100$ a plate. So long as you know what to look for you can atleast get 50k miles out of a spare engine. Then just rebuild and swap when one goes.

    • @TexasVexes
      @TexasVexes วันที่ผ่านมา

      You’re absolutely right. We’re all excited to see what Kyle and Mr Rad can do with this development. Shoot if you have A/C on the greddy Rx8 maybe daily it in the warmer months?
      I used to watch REC videos about doweling and studding kegs for big power. He knows a lot.

    I wonder what happened to Aaron cake? Id like to put a FC turbo in my rx8, and put my renesis in my VW. But California 😢 i still would want to try to electric turbo an MSP renny. Im just happy at this point that my rx8 runs and passes smog. I can still find rx8 motors with trans for 1200. But no matter what, an FD motor would be a joker size smile every time you drive it. I know my FC powered VW was. 😊

      @okturbo7770 Owned both cars and I can assure you that if the NC is a boat, than the RX8 is a battleship. 😅

      Nc is a short boat. Rx8 is like one of those big catamaran boats with a 25hp Johnson on the back

    RX-8 is so ugly. Dump it

    gotta remember America insanely inflates their HP numbers. so these rx8 motors dont actually make a lot of power. theres a reason why the king of rotaries ( the kiwis/new Zealanders ) don't turbo the rx8 motors. shit motor, made for emission requirements and cost a lot more with more problems

      Literally my yellow car made 130 whp. And Ben's r3 is at 197whp. I have no clue how they make over 200whp on an NA renesis.

      ​@@RADPotentialStreetports with ingition, bolt-ons and tune regularly make 200whp in the UK. Check out Rotary Revs and Ryan Rotary Performance. They've been making 200whp regularly for their customers.

    $800 K24 w/ a WuHan Turbo will smoke these overpriced Doritos

      I completely agree

      Real HAHA. I really would like to see that done properly and see how much the end cost would be.

      Whats nice about that is you still retain a little bit of the rotary identity with K24s. Still high RPM and somewhat similar linear power band. Maybe this becomes the norm later on

    Feel lucky I got a S5 TII engine for $250. Some of it is not usable I'm sure but still.

    It would be great if you could test the LandSpeed RX8 build (625WHP in a Renesis). More info search news-rx8-takes-aim-at-rotary-land-speed-record in G.

      I've read all about that. And talked to kyle about it. Streetcar is a totally different "reliability"
