AOA Dear All,
I have came to know that the engine of Mazda RX8 needs to be overhauled even after 100,000KM. Is it true?
What if we swap the RX8 engine with any other 1300CC engine??? Is such swap possible???
Waiting for reply!
Best Regards,
Aqeel.

swapping rotary wankel with inline or v8 ???
simply insane ....
.......................................................................
u dont have to change the engine unless u can maintain it real well,my cousin used to have a rx8 which he recently sold,he drove it for 138k n the car was still on full potential
though if u plan to make a swap 1jzgte is a good option
you can even swap 2600cc engine in it but driving pleasure will be all gone and the thing left with with you will b just wheel spin 
RX8s in Pakistan are used to pick up girls - thats about it, they or the driver dont care if its got a generator underneath the bonnet. As long as it looks like a Mazda RX8 its NICE
yar i would suggest a datsun A12 WITH lpg ...
I DONT KNOW Y PPL RUIN THESE BEAUTIFUL MACHINES :S
in australia they are swappin out inlines and v8s with rotaries here its the opposite!
Case 1
abba paisay nahin detay baar baar engine O/H ke liye.
Case 2
The outer shell looks sexy thats all - I dont care if a CD70 engine is it
Case 3
2JZ-GTE is da king - aka brute power for drift etc. (too much fast and the furious viewing)
Case 4
My neighbor/cousin/freind (choose) has an RX8 with a supra engine and it rocks - I want one too or I would be ridiculed in society
Case 5
I bought an RX8 with no engine but cannot afford to put its original engine in it and dont even know how it works - I just bought a cheap sports car thinking it would be cool
take your pick - one will match a situation I guarantee
Almost all. My friends type S is minter! Sat in it for the first time a few days ago.
@OP
I hope you were not using synthetic oil in the car...
You sir are excluded as the 0.01 percent of (users) of RX8s.
btw you are asking for oils - how do you like this snake oil... Apparently there is an oil in the market in cheapie 2 litre bottles that says specially made for RX8 (thats it, no approval code from Toyo Kogyo Ltd or even any automaker) - someone posted a pic on PW too. - And the best bit is that it sells for big money, something like Rs 3000/2litres
I wonder whats in it?
As in all consensus - there are some exclusions.. my postings were about swapped RXs
mostly done by people who regularly buy
Indicator fluid
Muffler grease to fix rattly exhausts
Frequency glue for their radio antenna to fix FM stations slipping away
Radiator hose pipes for 1959 Superbeetles
fireproof spark plugs
Umm....the engine oils in pakistan are not designed for burning , when burned they leave alot of carbon. Premix is best as its designed to burn. Rev it to 9k , clear the carbon , let the premix burn.
There should be a seperate resevoir filled with premix which the OMP can inject instead of that nasty engine oil.
For all the noobies , put some STP injector cleaner in your tank , (hmm this might clear the carbon you might think) ....go search for a 1.8 VVTI engine after that
@Xulf check PM.
Word around town is that original concept had that - ditched in the name of driver hassle.
speaking of premix I use 2 stroke oil in my diesel here in US, the diesel fuel here is real bad - and does not have proper lubricity which can take out an older diesel injection pump. The premix makes it sound super nice too.
@all...
simple thingy....dont buy mazda if u cant feel the spirit of rotary.....
