I need Standalone help (REW swap)
Hey guys, not sure how to word this in the most understanding way.... but i'll take a crack at it.
I am in the process of the 13b rew swap into my S1. i have most all the parts, and the engine building should be done by mid July, however there is 1 last thing i have not ordered. i've done a ton of reading thru rx7club.com and here thru a few members builds of the REW and RE. I have no luck finding the answer.... so the question is. and the REW swap into the S1 chassis, i know adaptronics is the way to go, i just want to know if i can use this one

or do i need to use the Universal one? (shown here)

Either will work...you will have to do re-wiring regardless......
What are you using for a trigger wheel? If you don't use the RX-8 wheel you will need to add it to get the power steering and tach to work in the dash.
Do you plan on using the DBW throttle...or go to a cable?

Renesis out... REW in

Another example...
REW has 4 injectors vs 6 for the renny.
But you can solve this problem with a aftermarket LIM and in doing so you get a extra inch of clearance from the firewall with said LIM.
These swaps have lots of little details that easily get overlooked.

i see, so regardless i need to use the REW harness? or just use the Renesis harness and splice and rewire? i have seen the LIM from excessive, it has 4 injector ports? or 6?

And yes I am going to use the renesis front cover and trigger wheel.
Did you do a REW swap? If so what did you do?

Try contacting Chris at Banzai Racing in Indiana.
After my mechanic blew and DESTROYED my REW swap, I went to e them Banzai to have them rebuild the motor and fix my previous mechanics mistakes.
This is the bracket he is fabricating for the tigger wheel.

Dietbudda, where have you been?!? I thought you totally gave up on the rx. Let me guess, your timing was wrong and blew the engine a couple of times? What stage is your car at now?

It's back a Banzai now getting worked on and having all the issues my previous mechanic caused fixed, dude did a number on the car.

Well, I did that several months ago and it still isn't available. So I figured if I post something here, it would generate some interest and maybe this thing would go into production.
I'm not in a big hurry, I still have lots of other things to do. But if/when it does go up on their site, I'll be one of the first to buy it.
