If anyone is interested in building something like this, FAST sells a multi port efi retrofit kit, with harness, wideband, and self tuning ecu. Fitech makes a similar setup but the fast kit is $800 and works like a charm, I put one on a Windsor 302 that I swapped into a 96 Mustang. So no need for a tuner, dyno, extra expensive software etc... and the harness comes setup for gm sensors
Love the video thank you for sharing. You should buy a mill/ small cnc . While costing a bit at first it makes hobbys like this so much cheaper. Mine has payed for its self may times over.
How bad was the project? I can get one of these for free with no motor, have a nice 6.0 donor with all the parts. Curious if it's more than it's worth to do this (obviously it's worth more than the car) but if it plugs in place or needs extensive chassis work.
hey man I'm thinking about doing an v8 swap on my second rx8 since I bought 2 for 2500 both run ome has 80k miles n the second has 109k both manual. I want v8 in 109k miles. what's all did u change to do the swap.
Good deal! It would be best if i get a donor car for all of that. Are you going to post the modifications u had to do for the swap or nah? it would be bad ass if u would lol
Cool! Will be looking foward to that. Awsome build by the way haven't seen any builds like that on a mazda rx8 down here in south tx hope i can have something like that this coming year hehe
Subscribed. These videos are awesome, as I plan to do the same with my 04 rx8. Please keep them coming! The more details the better.
video two is up 3 is on the way.
I'm gonna do the same when the rotary dies...at 113k miles right now and it's still running
Extraordinary young man!

Dope videos man!

Hey sir did you need any mods to the transmission or did it fit properly?

How much did it cost you total for everything?
Is it a straight swap for the engine or do you need to modify the bay to fit it in?
Have a video 2 yet? I am going to be swapping my 04 rx8 to ls1, then turbocharging it over the winter months. Any tips?
It will be up tonight

man thats siiiiccckkkk !!! i wish i had the funds to do an ls swap how much was the damage
I would say around 4 thousand. I got my engine/tranny/pcm for cheap.
Good deal! It would be best if i get a donor car for all of that. Are you going to post the modifications u had to do for the swap or nah? it would be bad ass if u would lol
Yeah I'm going to make another build video soon. Talking about the project as a whole. Wiring and ext
Cool! Will be looking foward to that. Awsome build by the way haven't seen any builds like that on a mazda rx8 down here in south tx hope i can have something like that this coming year hehe
What do you need to do to swap in the ls1? Any modifications?
How well did it mesh with the factory trans. Or did u soap trans also?
How much did you pay for the Camaro at the junk yard ?
i wish that ls1 would be cheaper in my country. Cheapest one I found costs $6 500
Gizawar we get a brand new ls3 with transmission for 8 grand.
Rip rotary
That's what MAZDA said when they trashed the rotary engine for good.
Have u start the Rx8 yet ???
i saw one with a small block today for sale
holy fuck the shakiness is making me fucking nauseous
Some price estimates would've been nice lol
+Wooter Baby 4/5k
Double to triple that.
What's the hardest part of this engine swap?
making the mounts
No electric, ECU modifications need it ???
Luis Torre used the stock ls1 pcm and that's about it on that build!
How much was the camaro?
Paid around 2K think that was a good deal.
