You need the RX8 ECU for EPS, so you will have to keep the CAS in place for that to work.( you can mount it to the front cover, it's been posted before)

The dash works off the RX8 ECU also.

Then you'll need to have the RX8 OMP connected so the RX8 ECU doesn't put the car in into limp mode. (Connect it up and tuck it out of the way somewhere).



G/L bro, looks like your getting closer
.

Λ Yeah but limp mode for what? He's not using the stock tb so it doesn't really matter if it limps or not.

Gotcha, I see he listed it as 1. At the bottom

thanks! ufff! so! i dont need! and temperature and oil pressure work in my dash! fine!
iam closer to start the engine to check leaks! in oil system and fuel system!
very thanks to dznutzuk for tips! help!

here more pics!
the radiator is aluminium! 1985 rx7 ! 3 row! and the electric fan from 1995 ford taurus! jeje! my rx8 is a frankestein! have parts of old cars!

:d:

i did complete 13b rew swap i am running rx8 throttle body

Redrx8rotary : More infos?? Parts used? Pics?

Anybody running PS on any of these swaps??

power steering?

Why wouldn't we be running power steering?

need crank sensor for activate the ps

Im finishing with my 13b re swap. I have it running with a haltech and left the factory ecu for the dash and the electrics stuff. The real question is if im going to be able to get the power stearing to work this way? Or what specificly i need for it to wor? I see you said cas but im using the engines factory one wich is the 24/ 2 tooth type. Is it possible to make it work with that or will i have to change my ignition to maje it work?

you install the rx8 cas to OEM harness to OEM CPU?

I am running the stock electric power steering

Russell29n my ig follow me u will see the setup

red ..what cable u use from the OEM rx8 computer?

Can't see your setup anywhere... :sadwavey:

I have the Cas that comes with the 13b-re engine. Wich is same as the turbo 2 one. I understand you guys are telling me i need the factory cas for the rx8 for the power steering to work. Is it a RPM signal that tells the rack to activate? If thats the case then it could be activated with a tach output from my ECU? What you guys think? I loved too see youre set up redrx but dont have instagram. Looks like using the rx8 timing cover would have been the best way to go but too late for that now. Just want to register and use the car already.

Cano, you have to use the stock rx8 36-2-2-2 trigger wheel with it's mag sensor, no matter what other trigger system you're using to run the aftermarket ecu.

I will try to fit the trigger whell behind my engines pully. The reason i was trying to come up with

Different solution was because i took off

The factory engine harness. Ive been thinking how to make this work. Was thinking about FFE trigger kit (because i have one laying around) may also work but need more specifics about how the rack actually works. Then i could just switch the ign settup without having to change the timing cover. I wouldnt want to bring back the mess of cables of the factory harness. Sorry for the extra post, trouble with the mobile site.

cano take a picture of your rx8 cas installation.... to see

It really depends on what aftermarket ecu you are using. I'm currently using the FFE trigger setup to run both the stock system and my megasquirt.

How much did you have to cut through the firewall?

i dont cut the firewall.....I made a mod to the lim

Here's my solution in conjunction with FFE trigger kit setup. Cano, there's no need for you to figure out how the power steering works. When the ecu see's the right signal from the cas trigger, and gets a rpm signal it then sends the right power to the unit. Using the stock cas trigger with it's trigger wheel is all you need, of course you need to still have all it's wiring still intact.

jey! nice cas hook! you cant made other for sale! i pay !!

Please call Full Function Engineering and tell them you want the RX8 style FC (MAG sensor)trigger kit for the RX8 engine swap. Tell Jason you want the same kit that Spyro from Greece has.

would it be possible to swap a FD engine with FD front cover and still retain the 8's ps and ac?

yes

Just finish my swap too is a13 b rew . Just receive new dynamics injectors

Post some pics of your swap :icon_tup:

That's my turbo too!!!

Cool graphix

i change rear turbine housing to 1.10

Hydro Graphics on the compressor housing Nice. :icon_tup: What was the A/R on your turbine housing before?

before 1.32. 88/96 wheel
now 1.10 88/96 wheel
here pics

Wow!! That should help quite a bit, how late was it spooling up?

Or at what RPM were you making the boost you were looking for ?

3.5 rpm! start boost!

It would be nice to know how much sooner you start making boost after changing housings, If you don't mind keep us posted
