This is my sr20 DET S15 swapped rx8 ...

 

A rotary rx8 is yet to beat it .... it has a ACT 6 puck clutch , Lightweight flywheel , Apexi air intake, xxpower FMIC etc ... have boosted to 1 bar ... currently on 7psi

 

I am from Pakistan and it was done in Peshawar Pakistan

 

And you just finished the Paris-Dakaar?

Could use a sweeping....

Looks like a lot of work, it's very tight to the firewall.

 

That is friggin awesome! Well done.
Which engine management did you utilize?

I like the Mazda badge on the valve cover.

 

try a 20b guy and see what happens.

anyway this has been discussed before, its nice that someone actually did it. nice work, did you do it yourself? have you dynoed it? what kind of #s are you putting down? does it feel different (handeling) from the renny? do the stock gauges work? if you have pics from the build you should post em.

nice job, but i still love my under powered renny

 

Pretty cool man. I'd like to see some pics and a write up of the process if available.

 

Nice work, but why all the dirt? Clean that sucker!

 

^+1

would that count as "hellaflush"???

 

actually this car uses two ECUs ... one is its own that manages the car and the other is of sr20 for the engine ... everything on this car works including speedometer, ABS, airbags , pushstart .... only traction control does not work ... yes it feels different than a renny: more powerful with loads of grip .... though i would give a slight edge to rotary in handling ... i have driven a few rx8s with 1jzgte and 2jzgte swaps, it is light years better than them.

 

actually its very common to swap rx8 over here with toyota engines usually 1jzgte .... the closer the engine is to the firewall the better is the weight distribution and handling otherwise it becomes nose heavy and tails easily

 

A few rx8s under going 1jzgte swaps

 

Another rx8 undergoing a sr20 DET swap

 

and about the dirty engine bay ..... man its worse than Dakar over here: hotter and dustier

 

Nah. Engines move side-to-side under load.
If it isn't touching, it isn't close.

 

That sucks, that would drive me nuts. But either way, it's a sick swap. since the traction control doesn't work doe sit affect anything else? I thought the ABS would be affected.

 

well without traction control it tails out if you want it to and drifts

 

It's quite easy to make the traction control work, if you want it to. I have it on my car, granted I'm still rotary, and I'm using aftermarket engine management

 

That is a bad *** swap... I love the Mazda logo on the valve cover like Jeff mentioned lol. I'm sure there are Mazda and Nissan guys cringing at this swap, but I think its brilliant.

 

Dont forget to post in the "Calling all engine swaps" thread

 

Since the OE PCM is still in place to control the EPS and cluster, the ABS and TCS/DSC can also be retained.
That is the route I'll be following with the F20C swap.

 

So you are going with the F20C over the F22C1? Was that a cost decision?

 

f20c f22c .... sounds like a great idea .... this project took almost an year to complete and iron out all the wrinkles .... running absolutely problem free for 6000km, using it as a daily runner.

 

That's awesome, it's a great motor.

 

nice swap not liking the mazda badge but that is just a personal taste thing. any more pics of the other swaps in your area?
