yeah me too, how far along are you. will yours be at the nopi nationals replacemnt show at the gicc. mine will it just sucks there isn't a rx8 only class




absolutely, i would love too

once i get the thing running i am going to poast prices of everything i had to buy and give a price i will do the swap for and details of how it will work, as in how much up front and who will get what parts i will do the first few to build up the swaps cheaper but prices will vary according to what kind of used parts each person can find or i find for them durring that particular swap

 

Awesome. It would be a shame to have that engine in a crappy looking bay... it has a nicely appointed home to live in now.

 

im close but i think im going to be running by the end of the month. with all the craziness of work not being busy, moving, and all the goodness of life my project has been taking much longer than i ever wanted it to. ill bee running but i dont know about show quality just yet. i have alot in store for the car its just going to take a bit longer.

 

are you going to the nopi nationals replacemnt show on september 20 and 21 at the GICC not the atlanta motorspeedway





also can a mod please please clean up this thread i could not seam to find a mod to pm about this

 

DOUBTFUL i have a wedding to go to on the 22nd...blah! ever figure out any eps wiring? and are you going to be making a custom sway bar, mines almost finished.

 

That sucks. And no I haven't done any eps wireing all of the stock wires will be going to it I do not know how it works wether from trans speed or wheel speed sensors so I will see if it works and if not I will go from there. Alot of mine will not be done for the show. Such as gauges, ac, the sway bar etc... I will just have done what's required to move the car petty much. It's posible I will have to push it in. I'm guesing a month or two before it's at full speed making the power I want

 

Thanks, keep me posted.

 

nothing new yet?

 

Is this beast running yet?

 

hey guys, sorry i haven't been on lately
trying get all the kinks worked out
i had a problem with the tranny i bought and still working on getting the gauges to work, if i can get my tranny back this week, i may have video footage of the car running this weekend

for updated info and pics of the car please visit the link to my myspace page in my sig
I got my wife to make a page for the car and i have been trying to get it going the last few days

i have some pics of the (nearly) completed swap at motorsports nationals car show (the nopi replacement)

 

dude u gotta get it to work. cuz i will pay u and ship it to u to do mine!
tht gonna b one hell of a beast

 

LOL!!! A connecting rod for the shifter! Killer...

 

updatessssssssssssssss?

 

Bump Update!

 

How is handling affected?

 

handling has been pretty good - stays planted - in the garage lol

 

yeah handelng hasn't exacty been tested yet lol

i got my fuel system worked out i think ill prolly get some picks of that up soon with some other i took while i have been wireing

i extended the 2jz harness several feet and was going to move it to the other side of the dash but decided to mount it under the driver seat for easier access

still working on getting it wired up correctly i am having trouble getting the ignition power

but luckily i have sold a few things lately so i have some extra cash.

first thing i am going to do is set up a phone apointment with DR Tweak of Phoenix Tuning for him to walk me through which wires actuall need power and ground on the harness
hopefully i will be able the crank the car after that we have discussed and he feels confident it won't be very difficult

also monday my driveshaft will get dropped off to be shortened and balanced
I got a drivesahft from my work that i think is off of a 4-runner, but it slides into my transmission perfectly and i have done some work to the diff end to get it to bolt up to the rx8 diff and be centered, it only needs to be shortened by about 3 inches, but i will be getting a custom aluminum driveshaft made from driftmotion later on.

i will try my best to get some pics up this weekend though

thanks to everyone who has been keeping up with this project.

 

i seen ur build, i hate u and ur car and florida, sons of B;s, Ill trade u for mine? lol? 20B is the ultimate monster! I seen the vids of ur monster, i'd kill every vette out there alive. ur lucky!

 

tell josh chris previously from netuners said whats up...i helped get him blown up with a project called hellish mantis

 

How is this swap coming along?

 

No kidding, very interesting swap.

 

yeah im in the same boat as cmr333 with the sr20 swap. NO CASH

its also been hard not having a heated garage. working in the cold sucks

but i should be able to jump back on it in the next couple of weeks.

i have gotten the fuel lines finished up, still need an inline fuel pump. and i think i have the drive shaft figured out, as well as the tranny and diff mount.


will try and get some pics up soon. i know all the ones i had got removed from my image archive for some reason.

 

I know cmr333 was having EPS problems... were you able to figure that out?

 

yeah man were in the same boat. i just sold my beeter and picked up an mr2 that i am reviving with free parts for my dd. after were done with our swaps with should have a bastard child rx8 meet lol

 

Im 20 and have my 8 paid off... ive rebuilt motocross bikes into monsters and decided to finally get into cars... ive been looking for someone who put either a rb or 2jz engine into their 8 and i finally found it. youre a fu<king god. must see video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how much for you to do mine:D hahaha
