Have long thought that the first company to produce a really good k swap kit for the rx8 would make a killing. A great and inexpensive engine mated to a great and inexpensive chassis
@@melvin.g9662 Hi you can make anything work but there's a bit of fab work required. Sourcing an intake that will work for RWD Skunk Ultra where the plenum is flipped, plus the exhaust headers - I've sold PLM S2000 k swap headers for this conversion, still needed to be fettled to work. A RX8 K swap conversion was recently done in Auckland by a customer.
Cool, I've just stumbled upon this one with very similar plan/parts and RX8 K24 project of mine. Did you get it running and used it already? I'm more than sure that K24 small turbo in an RX8 is gonna be killer fun combo for any use...drift/grip/street or just fun daily even :D
I'm about to do this just seeing what all I need to add to my list. I have a K24a2, do I need a K20 oil pump? keep hearing that a lot. If I use a flat front oil pan from KMiata, do I still need to chop the sub frame?

Match made in heaven!
Hey do you have a parts list on your website?
@@SpeedScience Hello, I want to put the k24a8 engine from a Honda Accord in my Rx8. The question is if it would work.

Can't wait to see this done. Amazing chassis (RWD) + Honda power!! Good luck with the build Adam!
Geez they fit in well!
Good start to something great
Agreed, we're all pretty excited about this one!

Would like to see how the engine was put in there what cuts were made?
That will be something we cover in a later video
keep it up boys

Always thought this would be a great idea. Although I was dreaming of a J series haha
I'm sure we can find something unique to squeeze a J Series into one day...
@@SpeedScience there's a miata j swap kit....
Is the car street legal and can pass state inspection and emission?
Very different Adam
Hey man just wanted my plan of attack was. Is the K24 going into the firewall? Is that going to be a problem for a Cert? Or is this race car only?
Richard Sims anticipating being able to verify it. Will have it all plated and see what an engineer thinks
why is the engine so far back?
Was this car from Wellington originally a asian guy ??
