Im going down to the garage to give a visit tmrw. the engine in that link sits further forward then i think, will be interesting to see the difference

8\'s don\'t have a very big engine bay and the bulkhead protrudes in to it further than on a 7 which is a pain for decent engine positioning.

Nice to see another rotary becoming extinct!:Giggle
Why has no one put a v8 in the rx8 yet?

 
They do and I think it\'s Hinson in the US that are developing an install kit for LSx V8s. Good luck on dealing with them though as they can be a bit hit n miss from the posts I see on US forums.

Not quite a mega thread revival, but it has certainly gone quiet.

What ever happened to this project? Its been a year already.

You do realize an RB25 weighs a fdukton?

I\'m back

Pure performance has gone bankrupt and owe loads people parts and money. luckily i manage to get my parts from them. it\'s zurawski motorsport doing the job now.

i have changed to rb25det neo. all things in just waiting for the hks clutch to come and bits of wiring. It will be interesting to see how the engine affected the handling.

the car should be 80-90 kg heavier and im surprised the engine is further back then i expected.

There was a sr20 rx8 it look good. But handing was not. Too much work to set up
