SR20 DET S15 Swap
#6
anyway this has been discussed before, its nice that someone actually did it. nice work, did you do it yourself? have you dynoed it? what kind of #s are you putting down? does it feel different (handeling) from the renny? do the stock gauges work? if you have pics from the build you should post em.
nice job, but i still love my under powered renny

actually this car uses two ECUs ... one is its own that manages the car and the other is of sr20 for the engine ... everything on this car works including speedometer, ABS, airbags , pushstart .... only traction control does not work ... yes it feels different than a renny: more powerful with loads of grip .... though i would give a slight edge to rotary in handling ... i have driven a few rx8s with 1jzgte and 2jzgte swaps, it is light years better than them.

actually its very common to swap rx8 over here with toyota engines usually 1jzgte .... the closer the engine is to the firewall the better is the weight distribution and handling otherwise it becomes nose heavy and tails easily

That sucks, that would drive me nuts. But either way, it's a sick swap. since the traction control doesn't work doe sit affect anything else? I thought the ABS would be affected.
