Frankenstein s4 13bt swap
I opted out of the rew because I already had the motor so don't give me blah blah blah rew this and rew that you need rew -_- . motor came from my fc drift car, decent run down... S4 t2 with Cosmo RE housings, rotors, e shaft and weights... Largest street port my builder could do, built by Eccentric Motorsports in Indy. Rebuilt with goopy 2mm seals, hybrid s5 turbo with ported s5 wastegate, and Garrett .60 ar compressor side. 1000cc secondary and primary injectors.
This is my new drift build, I love my fc but needed a newer chassis and I didn't want to try and find a fd. found this ugly yellow Rx8 shell and started getting things together and ready will add more pics and info when I can. As of this point and time car just needs a tune but will fill in everything in between with free time. Car is running on a microsquirt ecu, https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...71b1d209f.jpeg Donor engine and setup :) https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...43bf0f731.jpeg When the car was picked up |
You should put a 13B-REW in it, much better engine.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...74e72e3cf.jpeg Too bad no rew... It's already in :p https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...bf0fa1648.jpeg Getting ready for paint https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...d42d8107f.jpeg Before the motor went in... Yes out of order pics blah blah blah |
Nice bro! Fast work.
Don't worry about it now being a REW. You'll be fine use what you have. :beer: . |
Thanks man, goal is 350-400whp I'm sure I'll be able to with my setup. Have custom tie rod ends and knuckles I need to install for more steering angle.
|
Stop worrying about what anyone else thinks blah-blah-blah ...
|
i have a bb hood in my garage
|
Color don't matter lol just need a hood lol. So basically just waiting to get tuned still. Waiting game sucks. Just want to start it and hear it run.... BAD! in the mean time heres a video from a event last year with the fc a little... That little flame thrower :)) and yes I like marshmallows ;)

We had this setup with a bridged engine and all the bells and whistles with a BW EFR9180 and it had no issues making 600HP....so I'm sure you will be OK ;) trying to make 400 :) |
Made some progress adding pics now. Would have had it running but have a issue with microsqurt at the moment

Looks great, even if you did get rid of the original yellow, my favourite RX8 colour.
What arrangement for the coolers (rad, intercooler, oil) have you got; they look interesting from the pics, a nice change from the normal FMIC in front of the original rad? |

nice build is this any harder or easier a swap then using a REW block ?
|
|
^I think Mike's car was stolen a while back :(
|
I just picked up a t2 for myself and wondered if you ever got the stock gauges to work with the swap and if you did, could you tell me how?
|
just use an Adaptronic RX8 Modular ecu and you won’t have any issue. Otherwise you have to transmit the data via the CAN system.
|
how will that work with the wiring harness on the t2 engine or does that allow me to use the one on the 8 somehow
|
the S1 RX8 engine harness on a T2 engine in an S1 RX8 chassis. It’s plug-n-play
