RX-8 LS Swap - Engine Assembly (Ep. 7)

[@jayswisher575]

This video series is awesome dude! You should have way more views! I’d love to see it running.

[@EazyOnCars]

Thanks Jay, I'm going to finish it up, just taking time out to build my house and make babies stay tuned!

[@masajil1864]

I am planning my LS1+T56 swap for my 04 RX8 too. Learn a lot from your video, thank you. Please share more

[@THEOAKLANDBABY510]

Same but keep in mind he’s not running a t56 I believe so some things might lil differ

[@ccdeejay361]

Thanks again for sharing, I don't see anyone being as thorough as you. The electronics seem to be a bit tricky, getting the GM ECM & the Mazda ECM to communicate or going the cambus or Holley route. Getting all the lights & gauges to work will be bittersweet. When I do mine, I'd like it legitimately road legal. Can't wait for the next one!

[@EazyOnCars]

Thanks for watching, glad it's useful. I'll be going over wiring etc in the future!

[@klalecherahim8895]

Men is being a while we waiting for the electronics video, your videos are very helpful

[@brokenrotor13b86]

Fellow Minneapolis red LS rx8 builder here, looking forward to the wiring video. I'm planning on buying the ls1rx8 kit (no welder) your videos have been pretty helpful.

"If you don't look at them, they won't be bad" 😆 Very excited to see the LX-8 running! (I took the liberty to name your car)

[@EazyOnCars]

Not a bad name, I've thrown around RX-Press and a few others :)

[@NissanZSmith]

I know this video is almost a year old but I really hope you lubed that cam well before putting it in...

[@EazyOnCars]

Assembly lube was used

When we getting the next video

[@EazyOnCars]

Hold tight partner, got footage in the queue but sometimes life gets in the way. Thanks for watching hope to have an update soon :)

[@brettmccabe9628]

Can you make the motor mounts and the transmission bracket and the plates for the motor mounts and I’ll pay you lol. I have a 04 rx8 that I’m gonna do an LS swap in soon

[@EazyOnCars]

Sorry man, if you want to buy them I suggest you go to ls1rx8.com I hardly have time to work on my own projects.

[@brettmccabe9628]

Understandable, lol just thought I’d ask. Awesome content

[@manel6408]

Search in summit probably they got ones, i adapt and welded the silverado motor mount in my mazda fits good no issues yet

[@bvward]

Any issue with intake fitment due to head milling?

[@EazyOnCars]

Nope, the intake is surprisingly resilient to small changes.

[@curtisbull1583]

So great man, thanks a lot for doing these videos. I've have been thinking of doing this for about a year now. Just found an 08 that I think will work. This gives me a really good idea what this swap will be like. Although what I'm more concerned about is wiring, intake, cooling set up brake equipment, AC pump and such. Not much of a Faber, will Steve have all that I need in his kits? His kits just look like mounting hardware, seems as though there's more I'll need for the finished product. Again thanks for these videos!
