I just got a reply from V8R and they said that they are shooting to have CAN bus integration done by late Summer. Woohoo!

Thanks for the extra options Jason! Very good to know! I'm glad to see different developers helping each other out. :cheers:

Yeah, that's what the Vorshlag guys were talking about. A ton of people say that it's super easy until you actually need to do it and make it reliable. ;)

Hi Everyone,
I came across this little gem while researching an LS based BRZ...

Cool. Thanks for clarifying that. And thanks for the alternate options. :)
Hi,
Just noticed this on the website...
http://v8roadsters.com/shop/remote-filtercooler/
Does that include the oilpan+pickup and the filter relocation parts and cooler? If it's just the...
I should have said earlier... I'm not talking about stock drivetrain. I'm talking about with a built 6.0L LS. I'm also building it to be an all-around performer. Not exclusively for drag-strip...
OK, so I'm starting to plan my build. I've been checking out V8 Roadster's site and they say that you can use a 28-spline T-bird or Mark VIII carrier. OR a Cobra 31-spline carrier.

I forgot to ask, does it matter if the RX-8 has an ATX? Or should we stick with MTX to avoid issues down the road?
BP
Cool. Thanks for the info.
Shandelle, I'm curious... Will there be a different mounting kit for the LFX? Or is it just a matter of using different/adjustable motor mounts?
I see on the NA/B, that there two different...
Awesome. BTW, just noticed the coilovers and headers for the RX-8 on your website. That rocks.
BP
GREAT! Thanks for the tip!
BP
Thanks Shandelle! So ideally, do we want a 29.5" shifter or 33"? Or does the kit include a different shifter bracket/linkage?
Thanks,
Ben
Cool. So it hasn't been asked already. Now I feel like less of a troll. ;)
Hi,
I'm starting to save up for the swap. What RX-8's are suitable for the swap? All years but MTX only? And what years/model engines and transmissions work with your mounting kit?
In...
Needs more RX-8. ;)
Awesome. Hopefully it'll handle 800HP. :D
WOAH! I guess...the cars that the LFX used to be in were much bigger and heavier. (Off topic.) I wonder what kind of MPG that the RX8 will get with either the LFX of LSx? If a DOD (Displacement on...
Ahhhhh, OK. I see now that you have this thread labelled BETA kit. Thanks for the update. I can't wait for the whole kit.
BTW, the use of the Ford 8.8 IRS is AWESOME.
BP
Awesome. Is this just the hardware kit? Or is complete with the CAN bus integration for working gauges and ABS? Can you make the price public or should we inquire via PM?
Will you be making an...
325HP stock. 620HP with 15psi of boost. With a forged engine and 20PSI...I sure hope that rear end can handle 800HP. What are the widest tires that will fit on the rear end without tubs? :D
...
Awesome. Looks like a decent amount of room to tuck two turbos up in there. :D
BP
Thanks for the great news Shandelle! Having the stock gauges and ABS work is AWESOME!!!
A paddle-shift 8-speed would have been pretty epic but manual is more fun to drive. A dual 2.5" twin turbo...
Hi Shandelle,
A few questions for you regarding the RX-8 kits...
1. How much lighter is the LFX vs the stock rotary?
2. Will you be able to retain the stock gauges and ABS?
3....
