365 day Rx8 REW build.
 
...

That's a good plan! It's how I've been planning a (hopeful) turbo build for NEXT summer :)
I say this with all sincerity: I hope you don't forget about this and follow through with your instal! Seen too many members either not follow through, or else just don't update.

Engine looks good. Who is doing the engine build/porting?
Good luck with your build!

subscribed. GL with the build. Can you please document and take pics and make a build thread. Would like to see all thats involved.

Looks like the engine was in fairly decent condition!
Good luck with the build and have fun :)

O yea Man nice!! And what they said^^^

O and nice work stations wish I had that much room for my 8 :)

What power level are you shooting for?

Are you going to swap out the trans and rear axle?

How are you going to tune it and mate it to the RX-8 PCM?

9krpmrx8 03-16-2012 02:09 PM

Cool build. Good Luck. Fastlane, I assume he is going to run a stand alone ECU along with the stock ECU.

use the renesis front cover and all the sensors will work fine

Nice another 13b REW swap! Can I ask what you are doing for engine mounts?

Looks like a great part no doubt. I'm just anticipating the poop throwing.:piss:

TeamRX8 03-20-2012 11:51 PM

The poop was already thrown and we are past all that now. Try to get up to speed already ...

the mazsport thing is all in the past?:rollingla I didn't know. It's not like it's brought up every time Scott creates a new company. I have noting against the guy. I've never done business with him.

/thread jack.

GL with this build!

firecran 03-21-2012 08:18 PM

^looks good!

Heres a bit of info to help you out.

The UIM engine hoist loop and surrounding metal will have to go to clear the firewall.

It's a really tight fit back there.

dmedz8 03-21-2012 10:13 PM

Looks good! Is an aftermarket EMS needed? I'm confused by the post about "using the front cover and all the sensors will work fine"...

TeamRX8 03-23-2012 03:04 PM

just shorten the LIM ...

This is true but requires mucho mas work.....

TeamRX8 03-25-2012 02:51 AM

Not really. A band saw to cut out a section and then weld it baçk up, if it can't be cut straight enough then the surfaces might need to be milled to square it up. It is not that big of a job for a proper fab shop.

TeamRX8 03-25-2012 03:03 AM

$450 for shortening a 20B manifold, a 13B should be less work and hopefully cost less
