Great video, thank you for sharing 🙏🏼🙌🏼

What’s the name of the vacuum lines? I need to order new ones mine just broke when doing a service 8:03

Hi, I would like to know if it would be difficult to put the engine, gearbox and quattro drive from an Audi A6 2012 into an Audi A4 2011?

Is this car for sale?

is all this the same for the CWGC engine?

Where are the jack points using a floor jack?

Una bosta

In my research I hve found out, there are several popular engine swaps enthusiasts choose, replacing the rotary engine (13B-MSP Renesis) with conventional piston engines for better reliability, more torque, and often more horsepower. Below are some common engine swap options for the Mazda RX-8: 1. LS V8 Engine Swap (Chevrolet) - Engines: LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, LSX (Various displacements) - Power Potential: 350-700+ HP - Why It's Popular: The LS engine family is one of the most common swaps for the RX-8 due to its compact size, availability, reliability, and massive aftermarket support. It provides a significant power boost and torque improvement over the rotary engine. 2. 2JZ-GTE (Toyota Supra Engine) - Engine: 3.0L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 - Power Potential: 300-1000+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The 2JZ engine is known for its incredible strength and ability to handle high horsepower builds. This engine can produce massive amounts of power, and the aftermarket support is extensive, making it a strong choice for an RX-8 swap. 3. K20/K24 (Honda) - Engines: K20A, K20Z, K24A (from Honda Civic Type R, Acura TSX, etc.) - Power Potential: 200-600+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The K-series engines are highly tunable, reliable, and can rev high like the rotary while offering much more torque. They are also lighter than the rotary, improving handling in the RX-8. 4. SR20DET (Nissan) - Engine: 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 - Power Potential: 250-500+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The SR20DET is a popular turbocharged four-cylinder engine known for its reliability and tunability. It’s smaller and lighter than some other options, making it a good fit for an RX-8. 5. RB26DETT (Nissan Skyline GT-R Engine) - Engine: 2.6L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 - Power Potential: 300-600+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The RB26 is a legendary engine from the Nissan GT-R line, known for high-revving capability and strong performance potential. It’s a rarer swap but offers great power with potential for more. 6. 1UZ-FE / 3UZ-FE (Toyota V8) - Engine: 4.0L/4.3L DOHC V8 - Power Potential: 250-500 HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The 1UZ-FE is a strong and reliable V8 from Toyota’s luxury line (used in cars like the Lexus LS400). It provides smooth power delivery, good reliability, and plenty of aftermarket support for turbocharging or supercharging. 7. BMW S54 (BMW M3 Engine) - Engine: 3.2L Inline-6 (from E46 M3) - Power Potential: 330-600+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The S54 is known for its high-revving nature, making it a natural fit for drivers who love the rotary's high-RPM characteristics. It’s also a robust engine with lots of aftermarket potential. 8. EJ25 (Subaru WRX/STI Engine) - Engine: 2.5L Turbocharged Boxer-4 - Power Potential: 300-500+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The EJ25 engine, particularly from the WRX STI, offers a unique driving experience due to its turbocharged boxer configuration. It’s lighter than most other swaps and can be tuned for strong performance. 9. 1JZ-GTE (Toyota) - Engine: 2.5L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 - Power Potential: 280-600+ HP (with mods) - Why It's Popular: The 1JZ-GTE is a smaller and slightly more affordable cousin to the 2JZ, still offering plenty of tuning potential while being a bit more compact, making it easier to fit in the RX-8. 10. Ford Coyote V8 - Engine: 5.0L V8 (from Ford Mustang) - Power Potential: 400-800+ HP - Why It's Popular: The Ford Coyote is a modern V8 that produces excellent power right out of the box. It’s reliable, has a high rev range, and offers plenty of tuning potential for even more power. Considerations for an Engine Swap: - Mounting and Fabrication: Different engine mounts, transmission adapters, and custom driveshafts may be required for non-rotary engines. - Transmission Compatibility: You'll need to ensure the transmission fits the new engine or swap in a new transmission. - ECU and Wiring: A new engine control unit (ECU) or a custom wiring harness may be necessary. - Cooling and Fuel Systems: Higher horsepower engines may require upgraded cooling and fuel delivery systems. - Weight Distribution: Larger or heavier engines like V8s may affect the handling and balance of the RX-8. Swapping a different engine into the RX-8 can completely transform the car’s performance, but it often requires substantial work and expertise. Depending on the goals (track, street, or show), one of these engine swaps could make the RX-8 faster, more reliable, or unique.

I like your modification, man you good at mofifying.

Great catch on the new injectors. You think they would have given you details with them.

Great video. That's for a comprehensive video.

How many miles are on this car?

I have 2011 Audi s4 has stage 2 plus with smaller Reno pully but intercooler is stock My problem is when I start car no any smoke when I drive no any smoke But when I slow down when I press break car is getting slow like gears 4-3-2-1 smoking white and sometimes mix blue but usually white but when I press gas back I mean when I get fast and regular driving no any smoke when I stop no any smoke only when I get slow down with the break or without break smoking from exhaust (not really too much )but till ı press gas pedal back its smoking when ı get fast it is stopping right away …my problem is could be pcv ? My headgasket got damage already or no ? No overheating No any codes

Do you have an update or photo of the wheels mounted on your friends RS3? I'm looking to get the same wheels for mine but there aren't any photos (even on the apex website) of the reverse staggered VS-5RS setups. Thanks!

Great video, just one question - would these exact wheels fit over 8Y RS3 regular steel brakes without spacers? Thanks.

Such a wonderful sounding car

great video

Hi guys i have an SQ5 2017 B8.5 , recently a fault code has appeared “P1B1C00” as i found out it’s related to the coolant system codes , i changed a new water pump and some other check up but still there . Everything is looks brand new in the car The only symptom that i can feel is when accelerating i can feel there is something wrong between the gears when it shift from one to another . A weird sound “Trrrrrrrr” that’s the closest to the sound 😂 . I am not sure if it’s from the gear or the engine But i couldn’t find out where is the real problem . Any ideas !!

That rx8 radiator got the job done?

Mine is audi a7 stronic 0b5 when the transmission is cold works fine when is getting hot when u stop anywhere it shows gearbox malfunction but u cant drive …..

Where can I get other official repair manual you mentioned on the video?

So if the waterpump has play lt needs replacing right can someone with a honest answer please help and thank you

Thanks for the awesome video. It looks like the oil on the old pvc valve was milky. Was this consistent with the rest of the oil in the pan?

whta axles you have use with 8.8 diff?i own a t bird(28 spinline) and im trying to find axles

Don’t do this…

How do you remove the injector that was stuck in the cylinder head?

Too much plastic on the engine bay, and to be topped off by plastic prop on the pump (OEM)... an absolute must DO... change the water pump and the PCV valve and at the same time take advantage to de-carbon the intake valves, add the thermostat and get all the plastic replaced, I know the logo and front vista on the engine look nice but it is better to get rid of them... way much cooler engine, at last get some new belt tensioners and guide pulleys... CRAZY ......

Hello I have a question about a 2019 A7. I'm having an issue with the vaccum line connected to the water pump. My water pump model is the one with the shroud that prevents coolant flow to warm up the engine faster... I'm having an issue where when turned on from a cold start, the vaccum line does not stop vaccum push when the engine reaches operating temperature, which then causes the overheating error. In your experience, what would be causing the vaccum line to not release when the engine reaches operating temp? I usually have to let the vehicle seat for maybe 5 to 10 minutes from a cold start before I can start driving with the overheating error to pop up.

How screwed am I if I left a tiny marking on the metal, behind the injector seal?

Great thorough video, thank you. I need one like this for C7.5 facelift... I'm deep into it and flying blind! lol

Does a failed pcv valve cause coolant to mix with the engine oil? I had a lot of oil in the cylinder heads I had to remove the spark plugs and crank the engine manually to remove the oil out. I’m also thinking it could be a failed head gasket no too sure! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

The bolts(screws ) # would be awesome

Awesome .

I have a question. My water pump pulley has a wobble on my 2015 Audi S5 and it also squeals. Will replacing this fix these issues?

im going to be undertaking this job very soon for same parts replacement

How much does a service of those?

Thank you for providing a list/links for parts.

I have a E60M5 also, I just founud out my pcv valve might be leaking, thank you for the vedio.

This video is an awesome guide. I'm about to tackle this job0

My friend, when you coming to Los Angeles? It be great to do a joint review on our E60 M5s.

My car occasionally activates the check engine, indicating miss fire on cylinder 1 and cylinder 4. I already changed the spark plugs and coils, my mechanic told me that it could be the charcoal filter. Any experience about it?

I don’t see a point in replacing sub frame bolts

Nice work. One minor detail that I just love, retaining the Greddy mufflers. Just nice to see the car retain some JDM flavor despite the LS. I love rotary engines, I've owned one for years, but an LS in this car feels ok to me. It was such a compromised version of the rotary.

Very helpful video. I was able to pull the water pump off with out placing the front end in service mode or removing the supercharger. It’s very tight but with the right tools you can get it off with limited removal of items.

Great video thanks! Searching for answers because I have a cylider 1 misfire after doing a heap of maintenance. I didn’t have this code or condition prior to taking supercharger off, cleaning valves and intake runners + much more. I broke some electrical connectors and replaced with Audi. Codes are Cylinder 1 misfire & Hide cylinder I didn't have this problem before my "maintenance" Any input would be appreciated

What would happen if you needed to top the coolant up but didn’t have that machine ?

title is misleading. you are only telling what you got, what needs to be installed, and other things. but not really anything related to tracking, just a 3 second video of it.

I think i like this channel more than FCP...shhhhh dont tell them i said that

Such a great video with so much detail. Thank you!
