Nice build mate. I will be doing the same swap down in Aus very soon.
Right after I get my head around what front plate to use. Im pretty confused reading everyones builds they all seem different.
I will be doing this myself with fab work being outsourced. So what would you recommend for easiest install. rew front or reni and how will each affect the std electronics. I plan to keep everything working as normal eg fly by wire etc.
This is my only real concern with doing the swap if you could clear up the above point that would be great.

\cheers

Forgive me if these questions have already been answered but what all needed to be changed to accommodate the 13brew? New exhaust and intake manifolds? Inter cooler and piping? What all would I need aside from stock Rx-8 components to run a 13b rew? I believe I can keep the Ecu if I use an adaptronic... I also know I can keep my transmission.

Exclamation Get to studying

If your really serious about a swap i would suggest you spend a week or so reading the threads in the rotary swap section.
Do your homework then you'll have some understanding of whats required.
There is no one way to do it.... It depends what you want out of your swap.

Sorry but the type of questions you're asking shows that you haven't done your homework.

Alright thanks. I mean I'm trying to do my Homework and figured asking questions was a part of that. I'll go through the rotary swap section and see if I can become less stupid.

This forum has been around quite a while. Your q's have likely been answered multiple times. Just have to search for them.

Firecran you are an inspiration. I'd like to do a 20b into my 8, but that's years from now. I really like your car!
