Why on earth would anyone do a TDI swap on an RX8!?
After I saw this one, I absolutally love tye project rx hate and ls swaping the rotaries…
Honda wap would work better than that crappy 1.9 tdi.
1.9tdi is one of the worst engines on earth, it is the definition of german engineering that means crappy engeneering.
I hope that someone will save it and swap something else in it.
And how people could at least try to think good about Polish people if they keep doing such dumb things?
I hate my country :(

What does France have that’s better than the Phaeton? Or the W12 Nardo? Or the R32? Hmm?
Phateon- Safrane biturbo
P.S. last tine I saw a phateon, it was on fire :D
W12? It is useless with extrene european gas prices, V6 is enough
R32: clio v6, megane RS
I like french cars as they have and had a cool character, they are different than bilions of german cars driving around here…
If you want power, go for american cars, the w12 is really hard to work on conpared to a hemi v8 or any kind of american V8.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the safrane but it is not in the same league as the phaeton. Big luxury boat vs sports sedan
If you look at the amont of stuff you get with the safrane, it certanly is a big luxury sedan with quite a bit of power. After all it was a renault’s flagship back in 1995-2001 if I remember correctly.
Maybe he bought that car and then he recognized: Oh crap dat rotary drinks more fuel and oil that I can afford.
I like Diesel engines but they are really NOT made to be swapped against a rotary.
The only Diesel I could imagine into am RX-7 is Audis R8 V10 TDI concept but even that would never beat a rotary.
Because 1.9tdi is reliable, the newer 2.0 is absolutely garbage
1.9 tdi was also garbage.
1.9 tdi with mild tune is 160hp 250lbft torque. Minus the revs of the rotory, the TDI has more hp and tq than the rx8 rotary could think of having naturally aspirated. Lol
