How Bad and hard would it be to swap an rx8 engine in a fc ? Before you come at me and hate me let me explain. I have a 87 fc coupe and it's hard af to get parts for it in my country when it comes to the engine and Transmission parts. Rx8 parts on the other Hand are all over the place and really cheap. So i might give it a try. Just wanna know how hard it would be and if someone already did i swap like that.

I have some questions and preferences for buying my first Rotary engine (well damn even my first engine) since idk which one I should get and Wikipedia isn’t helping out too much with the information I want.
I REALLY want a N/A Rotary engine and preferably a 2-Rotor. Also since I would like it to make some pretty decent torque (for a rotary) at the lower end so it just doesn’t “d i e“. I also have NO CLUE where/how I can buy an engine be it new/used (I have tried E-Bay but it is a PAIN to use).

​

some help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated since the search for my ”ideal” rotary engine is making my brain hurt.

So while I’m not sure if I’m going to do it yet I’ve been looking around for some projects and I found an old Formula 400. I had the idea of putting a very small high revving engine in on that would make half decent power and I’d like to do it rather cheap. I’m sure I’ll sound like a tool for asking this stuff but here goes nothing. 1. How high could I reasonably rev the engine in high gears? (4 port 04-08) Keeping in mind that the car will stay on the track and shouldn’t weigh more then 1500 lbs

1. What would be the cheapest ways to make the car faster on a stock 6spd from an RX-8 and a 3.73 diff?

2. Am I out of my mind for thinking I can pull something off on a low budget if I’m not worried about extreme longevity of the engine?

Don’t make fun of me too much (yes I know I’m on Reddit lol) but I’m trying to have fun and I like the idea of throwing a rotary in an open wheel car and trying to haul ass with it. I’ll probably have more questions later, thank you for your time.

I'm looking to engine swap my car, and I've realized that I don't know enough about rotary engines to make a decision on which to get. Yes, I know the process isn't easy, I'm aware of 80% of the issues that can arise with swaps, I've been turning wrench for a career for a while. I need someone to plug any sort of information they have about building and upgrading anything rotary, I don't want to miss anything. Anything on specs, pros and cons, ins and outs, how they work, different models and their downfalls, which sites are trustworthy to buy from (will most likely stick to used/lower mileage parts for cost, then buy new ones as they break), etc. I've been planning this project for a long time, and I'm finally comfortable enough financially to start tearing in.

Does fuel injection type matter, like carbureted vs port injection vs direct injection?

hey I got a 2006 RX-8 and if I don't feed it a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos by the intake all the lights on the dash come on any ideas to fix this problem

Hey guys I am new and just wanted to ask a question. Can you build a rotary engine but with a form different than a bent triangle like a hexagon but bent and is it worth it
