@@TexasHondaChannel I feel you there! Just drove my insight for the first time in two months after putting the built engine in with basically all new everything! It feels like you are standing still while moving full speed, lol.
Canting the engine like that actually helps promote better engine oil drain back to the oil pan. Rally and drag racing has been doing it for a very long time. It helps the oil run down the sides of the block inside and keeps oil out of the crankshafts way. Keeps it from aerating the oil in the crankcase and reduces rotational drag while the engine is running.
@@jeremypike9153 you are 100% right and I was thinking the same exact thing. I don’t always say everything I’m thinking on camera or I would ramble for hours lol 😂
@@TexasHondaChannel whether they did it intentionally or not I don't know. I'm thinking they did it to line up the starter to the transmission but it worked out good for both the engine and the transmission. Almost as if they both wanted to be mated together.
@@jeremypike9153 Yea probably did it for a reason. I’m not a engineer so couldn’t tell you to be honest. Might even have been for clearance in the engine bay of the RX8 even
Don’t worry I’ll have free flow but it’s not gonna be open dump pipe like almost every K swap out there. I for sure want full exhaust but it will be free flowing and “epa compliant” 😉
I love this man. And take your time. Ive seen your work. When u put your mind to it and take your time your stuff turns up amazing. Cant wait and im happy for u
Wow that worked out very well I glad it did I think the build is moving along just fine since everything is being Put together form scratch no else has ever done this so great man keep it up love your videos
Damn that is a thick flywheel! But I guess.it has to be thicker to make up for the thickness of the adapter plate. Also amazes me that they went through the extra time to polish the surface of the adapter plate.
Now that price tag makes a lot more sense. I thought it was just for the plate originally. Congrats man your build is coming together. Also Collins is making it possible to build a reliable RX8.
Yup unfortunately I don’t have enough funds for that just yet. Getting it installed will be a challenge all on its own. After it’s all running and moving then I’ll focus on all that stuff
I couldn't imagine how heavy that flywheel would be if it were cast or billet steel. Being aluminum though and that thick makes sense. You aren't having to space out the throughout/release bearing.
@@TexasHondaChannel yeah been a subscriber for years on this and my original TH-cam that I forgot the info to. I remember you working out that tiny as garage with no room, and still making it happen.
@@TexasHondaChannel if things go good I'll be putting all mine together in bout 2 weeks or so. Had to put a pause on it for a little bit but won't be long.
Never,! ever,! ever,! start a bolt with a power driver, always, I mean always!!! Start them by hand first! Also don't wind the adaptor plate bolts in u til the plate is fully seated over the dowels! If the dowels bottom out before the plate is flush it will buckle and you can throw it away, all this advice from a mechanic that did a 10.000 hour apprenticeship to learn his trade, and that was 50 years ago
Don't worry about how fast you are moving, most people do builds over years of time! You are moving plenty fast!
I know I know. I’m just adhd and don’t know how to move slow even when I try lol 😂
@@TexasHondaChannel I feel you there! Just drove my insight for the first time in two months after putting the built engine in with basically all new everything! It feels like you are standing still while moving full speed, lol.
@@JD-rq7il Progress is progress though for sure and glad you got to drive it!
Much respect taking on such a unconventional build!!
Thanks for the support! I will take all I can get haha. I feel overwhelmed with it but gotta keep moving forward
That adapter is beautiful! So glad you were able to pick one up so fast. Can’t wait for the built vid!
Yes 🙌🏻 i have you to thank for that too! All the donations helped a lot. I made $300 in donations which helped me tremendously
The build up excitement is real 🤣 can't wait to see it putting down power
I promise if i could do it all in one video I would but just don’t have all pieces yet so might as well share as I go. Lol

In the Mazda it should actually give you more exhaust clearance.

@@TexasHondaChannel love you brother I've been hearing you've had a hard time just know your in my thoughts and I pray for you
This build is moving right along! Keep up the grind man! Make sure to get some good exhaust mods, K motors like free flowing exhaust
Don’t worry I’ll have free flow but it’s not gonna be open dump pipe like almost every K swap out there. I for sure want full exhaust but it will be free flowing and “epa compliant” 😉
I love this man. And take your time. Ive seen your work. When u put your mind to it and take your time your stuff turns up amazing. Cant wait and im happy for u
My time is fast I’m autistic with adhd so my pace is super fast but I tend to take my time while doing it. It’s hard to explain lol 😂
That adapter kit is impressive! I'm happy you got it, I can't wait to take a ride in this thing!
Yea man it’s gonna be fun!
Wow that worked out very well I glad it did I think the build is moving along just fine since everything is being Put together form scratch no else has ever done this so great man keep it up love your videos
Thanks and i try to do videos with substance 💪🏻

Yea its really light too!
I really admire the weird shit you do. And you do it well 👏 👏 👏
Ha thanks! I think? lol I’m weird so definitely a compliment 😁👌🏻
Bada$$ JAMES nice overview of the Collins adapter plate. Giving us RX8 owners an alternative in engine swaps.
Yea for sure! If I had a RX8 I would give a full review of the entire kit.
Now that price tag makes a lot more sense. I thought it was just for the plate originally. Congrats man your build is coming together. Also Collins is making it possible to build a reliable RX8.
Yea it makes me want to get a RX8 and K swap it lol Either way im making progress for sure!
My rx8 is very reliable with it's 13b
Looking good almost to the light of the tunnel..can't wait to see it in the truck and strated up
Yea for sure 👌🏻
I love the result !
Turbo kit on that will make the engine bay looks sick 🔥🌪
Yup unfortunately I don’t have enough funds for that just yet. Getting it installed will be a challenge all on its own. After it’s all running and moving then I’ll focus on all that stuff
Im tryna find the full playlist for k swapping a rx8 cause i wanna do it
Looking good bro. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to see more
Thanks 🙏🏻 will do my best!

yea it’s pretty light I was shocked lol
Awesome, you got the adapter!!!!
Yesss!!!! I am happy to have them together so now we can mock it all
Up!
Just out of curiosity, is a s2000 trans a way more expensive option than the rx8 plus adapter plate? Such a rad swap! Love the channel!
before you receive the adapter kit , i was thinking the price is very expensive, but after you unbox everything and i do think it does worth the price
My boy James putting in that work
Yes! Also thanks for sticking by and being my subscribers after all this time truly appreciate you!
@@TexasHondaChannel yeah been a subscriber for years on this and my original TH-cam that I forgot the info to. I remember you working out that tiny as garage with no room, and still making it happen.
@@RipYuTube yea and right now im fighting with Karen’s. I would much rather have smaller space and no Karen’s than larger space and Karen’s lol
@@TexasHondaChannel I feel you bro
Good job!!
The flywheel looks too big and heavy.
Did you checked how much the weight of it?
Is the mass similar to K20A original flywheel?
Check 8:24...
Awesome getting it done man
Yea it’s been a struggle for sure to get this far even though I make it look simple lol 😂
@@TexasHondaChannel its them skills man
@@TexasHondaChannel if things go good I'll be putting all mine together in bout 2 weeks or so. Had to put a pause on it for a little bit but won't be long.
Can you please tell me what is CUR harness? Set up you used for the casey's swap in the rx8
Fitment to a K24 would should be the same? Sensors on back clear? Did you get the waterline relocate kit?
What are people doing about wiring? Fuel pump still works with the K-Series?
What happened with this swap !! Am thinking of doing the same !!
what slave cylinder you ended up using? mind to share the part number?
how reliable is the Rx8 6 speed transmission... does it work well with the K swap?
Ambitious!
I have no choice but to be ambitious. My haters gotta eat them words 💪🏻
So the collins complete swap kit for the honda to rx-8 does come with the motor and transmission if i select it from the drop down menu?
Hell yeah
What about an adapter for a 4l60e to a Honda V6 j-series
Looking good bro! Very much respect to you.
Thanks 🙏🏻 I appreciate you. Also i swear I should have chosen your user name over Texas Honda channel. Work aholic 👌🏻
😆
Hi 👋,,,the clutch cover yellow,,,is 240mm❓❓
Nice😎
Indeed 😁
Looks awesome man!
Thank you 🙏🏻
What's the PN on that clutch slave?
Did it come with gaskets to seal the gaps?
The gap is gone once it’s tightened down. If you watch at the end where I put it all together you can see no more gap.
How much did you receive in donations?
$300 total The end of the video I showed all the amounts and names.
How did you get the engine and gearbox so clean and shiny ?
He degreased them and painted them.
How much it is to make a rx8 with k series. Just plate, flywheel, accessories, motor mount, wiring and equipment?
The conversion kit is $2200-2700 USD
Nice video man!
What clutch was used?
how thick is that plate?
How dare you make me stay up and watch this !
lol
Dang... my bad :/
Texas Honda Channel , it’s all good. I got a text message right after the start of the video. I guess I was meant to have my phone in hand.
Kinda early for one of his vids actually 😆
True story! lol
Cah a Isuzu gear box work on a k24
I am not sure. If you contact Collins adapters they might be able to make you a custom adapter plate kit for it.

Should have put an FD or 20b in that !
Bla blah blah
How mucho for the kit
It was $1,199 prior to the inflation on everything
This is epic bro
Boss man,,, you can user clutch Honda
Thinking about this swap in a Datsun 720 pickup
Doing it now
@@BigSpoon91 a 521 truck coming along..

Building a Mazda b2200 myself just curious if I can use things I already will have
Not unless you plan on making it fwd.
