I can't wrap my head round anyone hating on this... As said in the video the RX-8 is a lovely chassis hampered by frankly a crap engine (and I bloody love rotary engines). Just out of interest how much would a conversion like this cost if I provided the car? 🤔

The Fabrication would generally be upwards of around £6k, and you'd need to source your own complete engine and gearbox.

I'm not doing this swap but I am doing a 5.3ls swap with a t56 transmission. Definitely not using a Ford diff or axles because I had snapped way to many already on other vehicles. I'm going to rebuild the ls, upgrade internals, injectors. I'm either going to supercharge the engine or I will turbo. I'm hoping once I'm done which will take a little but once I'm done to be making around 800-1000hp

Yeah, Craigs current car is a supercharged E92M3. He's getting an itch to do 'stuff' to it now though.

Hey awesome project. Looking to do my self one. Now here is a question, do you think you put it in a masarati grandsports v8 engine inside an rx8? M very fond of the ferrari engine. Please do let me know. Many thanks

It'd be a bit of a waste in an RX8, but yeah it'd sound cool.

Is this an explosive, difficult swap? Don’t need anything extreme. 3-400 hp would be fine. Just looking at how cheap you can get rx8’s and I don’t want to deal with the stock motor.

How did you get the engine to fit over the standard steering rack? Looking at putting an mx5 engine in my rx8 and it seems the rack will cause some issues with the big electric motors in the way
@driftworks
@driftworks 3 года назад
It has an FD rack in it 👍

It's too expensive for us I'm afraid. I'm not sure I'd want to anyway. You have to want to win real bad! I don't think you get too far just wanting to have fun.

I've spent over $250K aud on my RX8 ..trying to turbo it:) Just an fyi.. I have successfully swapped the R3 diff internals from 4.777 to an auto RX7 (93-95) 3.909 ratio It's much better for big Renesis Turbo power/Torque.................

@@driftworks ...Yep.. It all adds up over 9 years. But mostly because three different shops kept taking my money and never got it to run right. I gave up on shops and redesigned everything myself. I had it running great until last week. I will rebuild it one more time:)

Hi a current rx8 owner here, Interested in a ls swap, do you know how much costs would be included labour :)

What About the handling? Cos LS is way heavier than its stock 13b?
@driftworks
@driftworks 3 года назад
It handles great. The issue is overwhelming the tyres with the torque.

Could you give me some recommendations to put that same motor to my rx8, and what should I have before starting the project in terms of modifications?
@driftworks
@driftworks 4 года назад
About £20,000 & a lot of patience 😄. Aside from the obvious engine & gearbox, ecu & the ability to do all the custom fabrication, I think this is converted to use an RX7 rack. There's loads.
