Just as the title states is it a hard job to swap out the Renesis for a 13B? I know you have to custom fab some items and move some stuff around but is there anything crazy that i would have to do to accomplish this?

Yeah you should probably check out the rx8club.com instead...

rx8 club has like 2 people who are in the process and their build thread is laggy, one kid is doing it over a year.

What 13b are you trying to put in? I'm assuming some sort of turbo'd setup to be going through the hassle.

13B-REW and i'm going to keep stock turbos until i get the money to go big twins. I'm shooting for around 530 WHP, but the main problem is i see that you have to custom make some mounting brackets. I could get a shop to do the swap for me but that would cost a pretty penny that i do not have.

Are you going to try to use the REW's wiring or go with a standalone?

CRILD

Standalone most likely

Its not that hard of a swap. Id go with a Power FC for your ECU, and getting someone to fabricate mounts for you should be to big of a hassel because Ive seen this swap done multiple times. Keep looking there are a few people that have done it here on this forum.
