I have not updated this in almost 45 days. but we have been working on it everyday to meet our goal. Pretty crazy what has to go on here. Completely new subframe, V Mount Setup, and Haltech ECU wiring. Right now we are stock working with the beefed up Ford Tranny. FLUID PLEASE CONTACT ME!

Wow what a pain in the ***! If someone wants a 700HP RX8 you got to do what you got to do!
So we have to make a custom bell housing for the tranny and that is what has been holding us up. We are in FULL on finishing of this car right now so expect some results by Dec 1. The pictures speak for themselves and we update it alot. Any questions, just ask

no other 20B swappers have really commented, so interested to see what they did for the tranny. The stock tranny just cant handle the power and there is no direct swap like we thought.

you could also use a rx7 Turbo II tranny. It is supposed to handle about 740hp.
Btw, i'm planning on doing the same when the 8 years warranty will end. I want to put a 20b in my FC, and later take this engine and throw it in my 8
