2.5 STI motor in a rx-8

I wouldnt imagine the 2.5 would be better than an RE/REW... both can make 500+ whp... how much more do you want?

There is a guy in Canada doing REW swaps into an 8 for $15K turn-key. I'd imagine you could do it for under $10k if you do the work yourself and spend the other $5k on performance mods and you'd have a hell of a machine...

The earlier 13Bs are just as capable of 500+ hp....I don't advocate boinger swaps, but like 85gsl mentioned for rearded power go LSX instead of the flat-four.
