Need Help Rx8 with TT

RotaryGod1980 · 02-02-2018, 02:03 PM

So i have an 1985 rx7 I'm starting to build. i was planning on building an rx8 motor and using a turbo 2 tranny. Are they compatible? will a rx8 bolt up to an Turbo 2 transmission? If anyone has done it please give me some tips

welcome to the board.

yes, the T2 tranny will bolt up to the MSP just fine. however, it begs the question, why use the T2 tranny instead of the 6 speed when you have to modify either way?

The gear ratios for the T2 trans wont be great with the Renesis. If you're worried about durability, look into an S2 RX8 trans.
