Does anyone know if the CXRacing swap kit:-

Fits perfectly on a RHD uk model rx8?
Thanks.

Re: Rx8 13b-rew swap
You need to have shed loads of money, time and motivation to even contemplate this.
As for this kit, you will have issues for a RHD car. For example, the exhaust manifold won’t fit as the steering column gets in the way.

Now back to one, a white R3. Gone but not forgotten: 04 Tit Grey 231, 06 Copper Red Evolve (231), 09 VR R3, 10 Aurora Blue R3, 06 Black PZ; RX87 13BREW project car ;-( ; 04 White with Greddy turbo conversion ;-(
Buying a used RX8 turbo is like marrying a stripper.
Beware - older people may be cr@p drivers but they can afford better lawyers

You will need to buy parts from various overseas companies to get what you want, ie Nicon rotary Russia, Xcessive USA, Franklin Nz and Turblown USA

Re: Rx8 13b-rew swap
Clearly states contains everything you need, but doesn’t say you also need to add the cost of a sound REW to the price of the kit.
Looks a great product though.

Re: Rx8 13b-rew swap
I think this tells you the quality of the kit Without Turbo and Wastegate (-$235.00)
$255----------------- real parts are going to cost around £1400 just for the Turbo and Wastegate!
Whats that saying, you get what you pay for

Re: Rx8 13b-rew swap
$3300 Aussie just to get the REW into the RX8. So that turbo kit sounds a little too cheap.
