I actually had a good friend who did that and once he got past all the electrical nuances of the dual ECU setup in the rx8 working happily with an aftermarket standalone it ended up being a really nice car. I spent about a month helping him remote tune it, we never ended up with dyno numbers but it was fast enough he decided he didn't want anymore at 18 PSI. I'm always good to help anyone learn to tune who wants to learn, honestly tuning and welding as my favorite side work associated with these cars.

Where are you at in the swap process?

I’m in the middle of getting the engine in the car... after it’s in I just need to run my fuel lines and do intercooler and that’s about it but can get first start without it.. I’ll take some piks and load them on here.

 

Oops, didn't see this thread. Just moved out to ATL from CA over the coco summer, My cars in Tampa for now but down to link up with the local community,

I looked for all my old posts but I guess most were lost when the old versions of the Forum were lost before 2005. Anything older than sometime in 2005 is gone. Sad.
I still have my old 94 BB R2, just needing a great deal of work that I'm just now starting to be able to do. We all used to meet at the Syms parking lot off of Roswell Rd. in Marietta circa 2000-2003. I believe Syms is gone now, and there was also a dyno relatively nearby that people were sometimes giving business to. Just wanted to see how many of us are left 'round these parts.

 

Still around at, nw actually and tinkering the FD still.

was that Dynolabs and Arthur you are referring to? Was it Thursday night power runs back in the day?

 

^Good to see ya still cookin' Tim!

 

Thanks Rich! Working on the car is bringing back some great memories from over 20+ years ago when it was the weekend fun time . Hopefully I can get up to DRGG eventually if you still make the drive too.

 

New to the Forums. Anyone that can chat about single conversion or good mechanics in the area?
