Hi All,
I’m about to undertake a REW swap in to a S1 RX8 to be used as a dedicated track toy. I have the donor car, aptly named by my brother as the Canary.. She’s complete and for all intents and purposes, stock..
The REW is on its way to me now from an Aussie importer, it’s a fresh Japanese import from a S6 FD RX7.. It’s coming complete with manifolds, loom, ECU, box and the usual peripherals like the Alt and PS..
I’m about to start pulling the Reni out and parting out what I don’t need but I want to be sure I’m retaining everything I need AND what I might need.. The last thing I want to be doing it sourcing parts I’ve just sold..
The plan is to go with new radiator and oil coolers, use the stock PS, I already have a Microtech MT-8s with a matching race dash. Fuel is sorted with a highflow pump and surge tank ready to go..
From reading the swap threads here I’m feeling like the main thing is to retain the stock wiring, ECU and the throttle body but that’s largely it. I’ll be keeping the box, I intend on using the bellhousing with the FD 5spd to retain the stock clutch set up. The AC can all go, there’s nothing bolted to the reni that needs to be retained (though I’m thinking of snaffling the OMP for my other RX8 because I think it’s over performing..) and that’s about it..
Feels too simple, what am I missing?
Cheers All!
