Just as an FYI in case the 6spd offs itself, Eu and JDM markets got a 5 speed rx8. The box themselves are similar to FD internals so they’re stronger than the US 6 speeds. Same clutch, flywheel, and slave set up.
Cool swap. Pondering on swaps for my s13 again now that I’m moving away from SRs… the internal slave thing is a good work around… wondering about engine mount brackets, trans mount, shifter location, wiring and ecu, and how much that front facing manifold all these 944 guys are running is lol
I find this to be great, I usually have ideas of recording myself in my own language and I've never gone through with it just fast pace videos. you seem really confident in the camera and that's something that would like eventually to learn to do myself. This is great content, it was great from the guys to send you a new flywheel, best of lucks mate.
@patricioderegil4830 ya, I haven't seen an aftermarket valve cover that retains a pcv. We were talking about the vacuum pump on the rear of the head though, not the pcv.
I love what you’re doing. That’s gonna be so sick. My neighbor has a 07k Audi. it’s quick and sounds crazy. I’m really surprised there’s not another RWD trans people are using for rwd 07k builds, the rx8 rwd trans will be the weak link in that setup. Well at least I see people having issues when they drift those rx8 cars. Most Mazda transmissions ain’t that great. Either way your e30 will be so sick. And I’ll bet you can beef up a rx8 trans a bit.
@ I get it’s just a drift car for now but someday it will be pretty collectible. Also drifters usually have fiberglass panels all around for ease of replacements. They have their own molds a lot of the time for quick and easy fabrication
Glad im not the only one using a seatbelt for lifting....... Works better than people think lol
Haha was wondering if I was going to get judged for that or not 😂
3 jobs? woah. hang in there bud.! cool videos btw.

Thanks man! I’m a school teacher as my day job so that seems to really help when talking to a camera. It comes with time though. Appreciate it!🫶🏻
Ive said it on your other content, 07k the world. But damn i gotta go buy a few for stock while they are cheap (they will always be cheap)
There's a gazillion cars that got that engine, pretty sure you can find one and will always be cheap because of fwd
Yeah I might snag two more just to have haha but I don’t think they’ll go up in price much anytime soon
Just ditch the vacuum pump, pretty common for the VW 2.5 guys. Multiple places make block off plates.
Even with the VP there, the casting on the head still sticks out considerably, so it’d still cause clearance issues regardless 😅
@BoostBrothersGarage they also tend to be a constant oil leak.
@@rennkafer13PCV valve in these engines is a joke, he can modify it for a catch can

If you can't find an 07k in your part of the world can you use the audi rs3 with this kit?
I'm invested. ❤
Thank you! 🫡

Less whining, more metric measurment (trust me it's easier). Nice work tho!
Please keep the fender liners. Rust will start there and once it starts it never will stop until the whole chassis is toast.
I’ll remove the fender liners and recoat the fender wells. I don’t think most drift cars run liners but I could be wrong

Loving the project, but I am curious, any reason you are keeping the vacuum pump?
Oooh is that a new lens on the camera?
Nooo unfortunately :( this is just my iPhone for this video haha
But a heavy duty engine leveler, just get the 2 ton gray one at harbor freight it’s $50 bucks. Don’t get the cheaper 3/4 tons they are useless.
Since they are the same measurement, will you run the lighter flywheel then?
Great question, more than likely. Want those quick snappy revs!
Hmm i thought both engines came with the stupid dual mass flywheel
They did I believe, but there’s are aftermarket single mass units!
