WATCH THIS Before Engine Swapping Your RX8

[@hanshoogendyk2203]

Works fine " except" the diff ratio, the rotary will Rev to 9000 the ls just on 2/3 or 6000. The rx8 will snap the torque arm with the no torque rotary engine so with 4 times the torque of the ls it stands no chance, my knowledge comes from doing engine swaps for 50 years, modern knowledge comes from internet " information" save yourself a lot of work and buy a ford irs 8.8" kit with axles. It will be cheaper and bullet proof in the end

That diff won't go anywhere now. Looks overbuilt, but in a good way. Great Luke quote too. Keep it up!

[@gastancehouse]

That was the goal! Building this rx8 on the rock!

[@HastyLifts]

Great quality content! Good to see

[@gastancehouse]

That means a lot William! Thanks!

If I remove the back seats and rear trank can I fit a flat 6 2.7l from a Porsche boxster ?

[@demingsun4685]

Do u need to reinforce the top plate that you added?

[@dmlgarage1390]

Great work, could have welded some captive nuts on to the top of the mount so it would be easier to get the diff off the car without dropping the frame.

Use ladder bars

[@pmd7771969]

Fact solid rears dont hook

[@pmd7771969]

You need to put a 8.8 in it.

[@pmd7771969]

Ls tork will break rear they run about 350 400 hp

[@pmd7771969]

Is that an aluminum rear case. Lol

[@pmd7771969]

All that welding and the shafts will break.

[@pmd7771969]

Solid mounts will be a bad ride, not streetable, will break.

[@pmd7771969]

The diff is weak. Gears weak.

[@pmd7771969]

Wrong gear ratio

[@pmd7771969]

Young kid. Not very car tech smart

[@pmd7771969]

Weak shafts
