Engine is finally in. What a nightmare that turned out to be.
Had never put the engine in complete before & had never put sump on mockup engine. What a mistake that was. :cry: Lots of small jobs done I wasn't looking forward to due to my error. Subframe bolts freed off, steering rack bolts freed off & anti-roll bar freed off.

Had to make a small bit of clearance on the subframe for the sump, but just glad to see it in.

Now the fun starts, wiring & piping it up next.
Will need to update times. Have them all wrote down in the garage.
Cheers John

Started to get some of the pipe work sorted. I thought I start with the metal pipes on the engine. Started with the Passat top pipe.

Was going to interfere with the manifold I'm using.

With a simple bit of cutting & welding, it's sorted. I hope.

I've also made to bottom pipe fit my application, but forgot to take pics.

Wiring all connected to the engine, think I'll be able to fit it nice & tidy with minimum work.

Piped most of the turbo up temporarily, with the pipes I have about. Just so I can try & test fire it before going any further.

Plan is to pipe up the rest of the intake side of things, try & test fire it for next weekend if I get time & get ECU back. Getting a bit nervous now.

Not had much time to work on the car the last couple of weeks. Been busy getting the retired track car out of hibernation & ready for a rolling road day. Back on it over the next week.
The car the rx8 is replacing on track.

Unfortunately not really much to report at the moment. I'm still waiting on my ECU coming back. :-k
Just thought I'd post to let you's know the project is still ongoing.
Have spent some of my time helping some friends compete at knockhill. Which lets me play with some interesting cars.

Also a few mods to the fiesta that we built last year. Arches rolled to get bigger wheels on to allow for a brake conversion

Did get a couple of jobs done to the rx8. Drilled & tapped the rear of the head to take an outlet that suits my application.

Messed about with the water pipes a bit till I was totally happy with them. Will update times ASAP.
Almost forgot, got some tail pipes FOC for me to start making the exhaust. Should be big enough.

I'll need to sit & update first post with times, still start the stopwatch when I go into the garage. Just keep forgetting to lift notepad to update the time & don't want to guess at it, or lie about time. :^o

Thankfully the ankle is all healed up now & I can finally get on with the car. I've not been sitting about doing nothing though.
Last month I got the chance of being part of the pit crew for a super tourer at the super tourers race at knockhill & also part of the crew for the ultima again. To say I was chuffed is an understatement, even although I was still hobbling about.

Unfortunately one of the BMW cup cars I help with had a small bump & any spare time has been spent repairing that. But worth it finished today & back ready to race this weekend.

This is the last race of the year, so more time to get the RX8 done.

Unfortunately one of the BMW cup cars I help with had a small bump & any spare time has been spent repairing that. But worth it finished today & back ready to race this weekend.

Been a bit distracted from the project again, missed track too much. So dragged the 3 door out & got it ready for a bit of a play last weekend the weekend

Finally got the manifold made up, let's hope it works. On to making the intake pipe & boost pipe up. Ends for breathers here too, so let's hope for big progress this week.

Pistons Please
Any pics looking up from the bottom of the car? Curious as to the oil pan ground clearance!
Did you decide to fit the engine that far back into the bay, in the name of using the stock trans? Progress looks awesome

Will get some pics for you when I get home from work. It was a combination of 2 things to put engine as far back. Yes one was to match up with stock drivetrain, the other was to try & keep the weight as close to the stock rotory as possible.

Forgot I had an engine mounting off measuring for spacers. Will get that on & get the pics for you ASAP.
Sorry updates have been so slow guys, just can't get a minute to work on the car just now.
Managed to make a boss & mount the map sensor. Not much,but at least it's a job off the list.

Sump sits at it lowest point about level with the subframe. Oil level sensor will be removed & replaced with a flat plate. This is with the rx8 gearbox at the night it would be at attached to the rotary.
Hope this helps. If you'd like more pics just let me know.
Cheers John
