I think the GenIII swap is an excellent idea from a performance point of view. it is lighter and more compact than the RB, in particular it is shorter, so it should give better weight distrobution than the stock RB. The massive capacity should give rise to better drivability than an equivalent RB engine, particularly if there is forced induction involved. There is a group of RX-7 owners in the US who have been doing the Chev V8 swap for ages. Apparently it is almost the same weight as the original 13B (due to the heavy twin turbos rather than the weight of the tiny rotary engine itself), and gives far more torque than the standard 13B. Wack a blower between the cylinder banks and you've got one crazy fast car.

On second thoughts, no, that is just stupid. Kill it. :(

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.

      HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
