I know no-one does this swap but I already have the motor.

I wanted to know if any one has made the motor mounts? OR maybe just some tips for making my own.

 

Anybody??

There is 1 thread with the FC motor in an RX8 but there are no motor mount kits and the OP of that there didnt post any specific info.

 

Nope. Because anyone doing this type of swap just swaps in a 13B-REW or LS. There is one drift RX-8 I know of with a 13BT, he has a thread here and be able to give you some tips.

But honestly this is one of those "if you have to ask" situations.

 

I know the thread you're talking about and the guy who did it never posted any info on the mounts.

I'm gonna be test fitting the motor this weekend. I have done some eyeballing and the mount locations aren't wayy off. I have no welding skills or any fabrication knowledge (I'm more of an electrical kind of guy), I do know some people who do but I'm trying to do what I can myself.

I had this motor built properly with new housings and rotors and then got tired of my FC, which is why Im using this block over a REW block. Im not doing the swap just to be cheap it just doesnt make sense for me to have a REW built.

 

Well, I'll add this one to the pile of swaps that never get finished.

 

That's ******* rude.

 

Yeah, often reality comes off that way.

 

Revive from the dead. Yea it was me who did it. 🤣

 

said the blind man standing in front of the mirror … not to mention that 3 or 4 years later your swap still wasn’t completed yet either. Kind more like it was “truth”.

Oops on mobile and didn't see how old this post is
