Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - Dispelling Myths: Using RX-8 internals in a 13B-REW

I planned on using these parts for the 13B RE build in my FC. Mainly because the 13B RE from the cosmo stationary gears don't support more than 6500RPM (seeing as how they were built for an automatic luxury car) and the price of the MSP gears and e-shaft are much less than that of an REW. I do still plan to keep the RE rotors though.

Very nice write-up! Its nice to have the actual specs now....

Oh - side note. This SHOULD apply to FC 13B engines as well. I don't see why you couldn't use the MSP e-shaft and stat gears in earlier 13Bs... so long as you balance it all accordingly.
