Calling all engine swaps

Most of all have seen every swap in the forum and have enjoyed reading thru all the three thousand pages, but is there a thread where we can see pictures off all of them ?. Weather is 20B, RE's, REW's, LS1's, or a yugo engine, as long as is in an RX8, we want to see the pics. Lets be nice about it though, too many long *** threads about swaps and way to many pages to read. WE WANT PICTURES of Finished or ongoing projects. Lets see all those nice swaps together in one thread. Everyone please post pics or videos of you favorite swaps too.

Good Idea. This is our local RX-8 swap owned by Tito of Alamo Rotary. Tito doesn't visit much, I doubt he would mind me posting pics

9k, I have a newb question for you... WTF is the aluminum duct leading from the intake down the drivers' side of the vehicle? Thats a NA 20B, right? Seems like superfluous ducting, the air should be picked up from the front.

Sorry If I seem uninformed, but I've never seen this before.


Other than that, this looks mean and clean.

Here's mine, I don't have any current pictures as I have the engine out for some work and new turbo kit. I also modified the intake manifold by cutting dissecting it and removing the divider. Lastly a devastating photo of the first rotor...

Looks like that was his problem... He cleaned off the red. Might want to swap it out, though.
