fav swap

because you had to, it won't fit otherwise. The BW turbos are several inches longer than anything else.

btw, email me rather than PM

Keep good work. Look forward to see this one running. Keep up day

Anything new?

Nice project good luck I start my too waiting for engine to arrives

^ sounds great

Subbed... Lookingcgreat

Enkeis for me. Why not Volks/Rays or Advans?

Properly sized NT03's pwn Varrstoen crap all day long. Real BBS LM's would be legitness. You have gone this far don't cheapen the build with whack wheels :)

enkei's all the way.:wiggle:

Clean.

You will be surprised at the some the deals that RevSpec has at times. For the price of Enkeis, you can be rolling on JDM forged goodies :)

Sub

If this swap was easier, I would sell my FD to make this happen. Kids fit in the back of the RX8...legally

Looking good!!

Varrstoen ES1 Get my vote. Love huge lipped rims!

^REW's are over rated! :)

subscribed, loving your work. I am slowly gathering all i need to do this conversion. I am keen, like you to get all the stock electrics to work in the car and just use an apexi ecu to run the engine.

I wonder if you (or anyone else) could answer a couple of questions for me

Are you using an RX7 (FD REW) Clutch or RX8? I thought the RX8 used a pull type clutch but the pic of your clutch looks like an rx7 clutch

I have seen in your thread that some have said to use the RX8 front cover for the sensors, does the RX8 front cover fit and are any mods required? Can the sensors be added to the FD front cover, ie by adding the RX8 crank angle pick up in addition to the stock RX7 ones?

many thanks and keep up the good work?

1.)Yes the rx8 has a push type and the rx7(FD) has a pull, rx7(FC) had a push type as well. You can use the stock rx8 transmission, or you could use a T2(modified rear housing for the ppf), or you can build a FD one using parts from the 5speed rx8(if you can find one).

2.)You don't necessarily have to use the rx8 front cover, I and other people have not. The rx8 cover does require machining for the front counterweight and possibly some welding depending on your needs for a omp. Yes sensors can be added to any cover to make tach gauge work properly.

thanks for that, i think it wil be easier for me to keep the FD engine original and make the RX8 bits fit to keep the stock ECU from throwing a fit.

I am also planning on keeping the stock gearbox as i dont want huge power, hopefully 350 at the wheels and i will be happy.
