This is a Rx8 I was building for my girlfriend. She asked one day if it was possible install a twin turbo rx7 engine into her car. Since I've done so many one-off motor swaps being the owner of Defined Autoworks, her innocent question quickly became reality.
I'll honestly say it was such a off the cuff idea, no research was done. Eyeballing the engine bay I felt good the twins could fit. After a couple days of fabrication the 13b-rew in all its twin turbo glory is nestled comfortably in the chassis. I also wanted to use the stout Rx7 transmission and honestly was the key to making the twin turbo fit.
As you can see a Rx7 downpipe will bolt right on, the greddy elbow is ready for intercooler piping and just for fun I'm pretty sure the stock intercooler setup will fit too. Even better the Rx8 airbox feed duct will now feed the intercooler.
Just wanted to post proof of twin turbo install. The car is actually for sale as she sits for cheap. My girlfriend found a deal on another car she has wanted for years so this one is getting sold.
