engine swap questions
Hi guys,
it seems like I can't post to any other forum, so I'll try here. Seems like I could get a 2006 low mileage engine quite cheaply, so I thought I would put it in my 2004 RX-8, so I have a few questions: - what else apart from the engine itself should I get? I was thinking trans, alternator, all the cables - do I also need the new ECU, or anything else worth taking? - are the engine mounts the same between 2004 and 2006? DO you know where I could find some more information on the differences of a 2004 and 2006? I already saw the engine removal thread, so I think I should be able to handle it. best regards, D. |
What transmission do you have in your RX-8?
If it's a manual transmission, then the engine will swap right in without problems, because the 2004-2005 MT engine and all 2006-2008 engines are identical. The automatic transmission equipped 2004 and 2005 RX-8s are the ones with the different engine. Take a look at the newbies guide to modding thread. I have some references for the 4-port to 6-port swap in there that you should look through. |
it's a manual
so physically there are no differences? that's great to know, I'll check your threads as well, thanks |
