First off yes I've searched through the forum, google, bing, my old ladys purse and still am doing so, so cut me some slack. Other then that let me say this sites search function can be a pain in the *** without the correct "keyword". :rant:
Other then that happy Friday ladies and gents I'm looking to swap am LSx into my 8. I purchased a 04 MT Rx8 last month with a blown engine and have been bouncing back and forth on what to do with it. Now I could just rebuild the engine but am open to other options. My goal for the car is a fully functional DD with over 280whp, reliable and better mpg. I know rx8 and the last two things really don't go well together but anything is possible. I am comfortable fabricating and have the tools do so. Sorry for the rant but I just wanted to get that out of the way for those who will try to give a million reasons on why not to do it.
My questions are:
*Has anyone found a canbus solution to get the dash working?
*I did stumble upon these guys on google and was curious to know if anyone has dealt with them? RX8 Dash Controller - CANbusAuto - Home of Automotive CANbus Innovation
*If not how bad is the wiring? I am in no way an electrical wiz.
*The rear end, I'm not really looking into making alot of power at this point in time. Just looking to get the car to run properly so the only mods to be done to the engine if I decide to do the swap would be an intake and exhaust. Although I did read somewhere that the diff was god for up to 500 ponies, will the axles themselves hold up or would that be an issue that will be need to be addressed?
