When you say, working on a "kit" what does that entail? Single turbo and all the tuning stuff? Also, what is your expected time-frame for completion? You can't throw us a bone like that and expect us not to bite!

Cool, so when it comes out will people have to wait a year for the associated parts to ship?

I don't believe this to be a rhetorical question either. We have had turbo kits that were shipped in stages, not complete when purchased.

I would say some of those depend on what ECU you want to use to run the REW ... I am not sure how complete this swap kit is, but I doubt that will be included.

For example, there is no reason to run an rx8 front cover if you are using a Power FC or similar

Hmm I see where your going.there.-.- what about the Ac lines? Vacume for the brake booster? Throttle body drive by wire or mechanical?

i am not sure where the ac compressor sits on rew, but I would imagine that you would need custom ones

Vac for brake booster? Post throttle? Why is that hard? I am sure the FD has a brake booster....

Throttle ... think about that for a sec ... the rx8 is drive by wire ... the FD isn't ... you can keep drive by wire if you bolt up the rx8 throtle body ... but then you need to keep the rx8 ECU
