Cool build, I like the ingenuity here! I thought about doing the same thing with the firewall.
|
Your progress is looking great John!!

Turbo just can't stay like that, hate it. :wallbash: thought I'd learn to live with it. But no chance. So that's the next part of the project, modify the turbo. :scared:

Well turbo outlet cut & away to get welded. So I thought I'd move on with another job.
Need some connections from the rx8 engine loom to power the dash, ABS & steering. Also the revers light & neutral switch wiring is in here. Info on this is not as readily available, like the VW stuff. Attachment 217373 Also have the starter & charging loom to sort to work with the rx8 starter & VW alternator. Then get it all in the bay along with the VW loom & looking neat. Attachment 217374 |

Modified the RX8 engine loom for the sensors I need to power the dash, steering & ABS.
Before Attachment 217359 After Attachment 217360 Also got the turbo back. Bit better looking now. Attachment 217361 Attachment 217362 Cheers John |
Both looms in & wired. Car now starts from the rx8 key, dash working. Need to tidy it all up to look nice now. Well chuffed.
Still lots to do intake still to finish, accelerator pedal to modify, fuel system to finish. But a least there is a bit of progress. Cheers John |

Adapter made to run the rx8 coolant temp sensor. For the dash & to run the cooling fans.
Attachment 217344 Passat pedal modified to fit the pedal exactly in the same place as the RX8 one. Also made a new plate to mount the rx8 pedal plate, so it looks the same as the rest. Attachment 217345 Cheers John |
Hows the car looking now john?
|
I'm looking for a more reliable engine for my rx8, what would be the best and easiest engine swap if I wasn't looking for a horsepower gain?
|
Don't think any engine swap in these would be easy, really depends on your skill set. Lots of LS swaps done now, with parts available
cheers john |

Started like this Attachment 217653 Got it this far before I needed a break, it really is a nightmare. :( Attachment 217654 Everyone in work thinks I'm mad, sitting doing this on my teabreaks. :P Cheers John |
