First I'd like to say hello to everyone, first time posting on the rx-8 forum, so here goes...
Alright, so the idea here is im planning on getting a used Rx-8 after college, and based on the milage and that most people dont take as good care of rotories as necessary I will need a need engine within 50k miles of the purchase. At this point, im hoping to have saved up enough money to buy a second engine (in the probable case of no warrenty). My wants are simply a 2 rotor setup with forced induction. The question lies here:
My first idea: Should I look into getting an fd3s 13btt engine, and acquire the addition parts for that (such as the oil lines to the turbo)? Or should I look into getting a replaced rx-8 13b engine and turboing that via greddy (or something else)? Also I did consider a supercharger, but since that is a little more rough on the apex seals I didnt really want to take that route.
Thats it, thanks for your time guys!
