anyone swapped in a renesis motor and 6 speed into a 1st gen? i think it make for a pretty fun car and really reliable! i found a pretty good shape 1st gen, with a shot motor..

i was thinking about picking it up and doing this swap but wanted to see if it was done already, and what all id have to look for into this swap..

even worth attempting??

It was featured in an '04 issue of RX7 Magazine out of Japan, it was the issue with the Scoot 4 rotor FD in it. Check it out.

I was thinking of putting a renesis, with a turbo kit, in an FD roller, but am not sure what transmission would work well, Any Ideas?

I can't wait until someone does a first gen Renesis swap and posts everything online.

+1. FD trans with FEED 4.77s to make up for losing a gear.

Thats what I was alluding to push type clutches are better, also much cheaper. And a T2 trans can be had from a JDM importer for under 200 dollars, vs ofter 400 for an FD trans

Thats what I was thinking, but was wondering how the clutch line, slave cyl, and others would transfer. Flawlessly, ha, I'm a seven owner, nothings that simple.

Then again, I don't know much about it, really very little. I could be way off the mark.
