Hi everybody, started this project last year. My renesis rotary gave up on me on Christmas day 2015. Even-though I was bummed - I took this opportunity to make my RX8 better for me. (note, my preference) I know loads of people dislike non rotary swaps but I'm pretty sure this forum has loads of open minded people. Knowing the rotary lacks torque, the fuel issues, oil issue, overheating and - well I'm not here to tell you how I dislike rotaries. I obviously love them, the engine is just a bit to costly to maintain. Well especially here in South Africa. My car is still a work in progress. Managed to get this far without any 'professional' help. A mate and I did the engine swap in my garage. Only hired an auto electrician to do the wiring and in all honesty - he struggled. The wiring is the final bit of work to be completed. Then I can drive her around then start saving for upgrades. Coil overs, larger fuel pump, injectors, upgrade all hoses/lines, upgrade brakes, and all little things that brake the bank. Can view more videos on YouTube. Cheers!!!
