- I figured you guys would like to see what's going on with my Mazda these days. So here's a nice little update video for you as I am K swapping the motor. Thanks for tuning in, feel free to like & subscribe if you feel like it!
Amazing project please keep updating and make a video on how to do the wiring PLEASE
Also tuned by shawn can make you a plug n play harness using haltech elite 1500 or 2500 ecu.
He did mine
Looks factory and electric steering works,dash works,abs works like factory.
Didn't need to use the rx8 crank trigger wheel eather
how reliable is the Rx8 6 speed transmission... does it work well with the K swap?
Dude how did you fit that header I can’t figure it out
Nice work! Can't wait to see the progress on this car. I have a track RX8 that I plan on swapping once the 13B fails.
Hey dude
Your vid just popped up again
Did you ever get it running?
I blew up 2 k20's in mine last summer and now building a k24.
Made 609rwhp on stock k20a2 and was a blast.
Wondering if you can get that shop to make another belt tensioner up?
trying to piece parts, what type of info can you give that will make this easier and all parts required, some videos you just see them bolt things together and stick it in and like all done! but they don't talk or show anything about the little things you have to do. How much firewall did you take out? And surprised no one has started selling pre-cut craddles since the junk yards are filled with these things, would be a gold mine.
There was a ton of work to make this fit, even with the collins adapter kit.. too much to list.. I personally wouldn't do it again. haha
Nice work.
Im doing same swap just boosted.
Did you make that little belt tensioner or buy it?
I like that idea since im running my upper rad hose across under intake mainfold.
Fyi a mk1 vw rabbit radiator works mint
I bought it off ebay
Aluminum rad,aluminum shroud,fans for $380
Its 25in wide,12in tall,3in thick with fans.
Inlet and outlet are on drivers side.
Also a mazda miata slave bolts right up without grinding anything like you need to with thev mazdaspeed 6 like collins gives.
We fabricated the tensioner ourselves. Thanks for the tips..
What ecu are you using? I just saw your recent upload but couldn’t comment on it lol
Humm, I'll check for comments thanks, I'm using a haltech elite 1500
This is pretty much my dream project car and good fucking job man! I got two questions though when you cut the subframe I assume you welded in new metal so it wasn’t compromised right? Do you think the subframe will be a problem at all with the missing piece? Also please update on wiring when your done because this is by far the thing with the least amount of info online. I hear the Mazda cannubs is a nightmare to work with and either needs to be painfully worked with or that you can run two separate ecus? Also wiring harness wise will you get a custom made one? Or use a rsx harness? Also when your done if you could tell us your thoughts on how the car handles after and if the handling has been changed in a major way. I haven’t actually heard much info on how the car drives after the swap. Awesome job though i’m excited to see more.
please keeps posted! especially with the wiring, make a vid on that please!
I need some help finding a replacement part but I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s where the green plug goes on the the part that’s on the box
How many miles did the engine fail and do you know why
What exhuast manifold is that?
1320 Performance S2000 K24 swap header. It fit almost perfectly. I had to cut and re weld the rx8 midpipe in a slightly different position to meet the angle of the header flange.
@@tcrafard I didn't see a s2000 k24 swap header on the 1320 website :/
@@breakingbianski I bought it off ebay.. ?
