Team Chihuahua 1UZFE RX8 (Daily Driver)

[Kruizer]

When you say dash unit what do you mean . I'm a huge fan of the 1uz it's a beast . There are a couple of companies who make the bellhouse to fit the sr20 box or the more commonly used r154 or w56 might be cheaper. Can't wait to see this build

A replacement digital dash with all thr trimmings you'd have in a road car so I can NCT it fella. Have considered quiet a few boxes, nothing is definite yet as the lads lined up the RB25 ring gear and it looks fairly close so may go that route.

Btw I don't mean the r154 or w56 are cheaper I mean buying a adapter kit might

I got ya dude

Dash unit ie dash cluster i presume. Digi dashs are easy to work with them, same rpm signal as a 4 cyclinder, duno how it works on a rotary though, after that there is water temp etc. Yea theres lots of stuff out there to manual them, overpriced though imo, i had mine manual for less than 350 euro, that included the sr20 box, clutches and machining of the flywheel, made an adapter plate for less than 50 quid, was the cheapst option for me.

And how do you find the box vrs the engine, has it been able for the 1UZ under load ?

Ya I thought the 6 speed would be a little weak, I just didnt really want to go at the prop shaft because im not sure if mine is steel or carbon. 190's are usually steel arnt they?
I will be getting a turbo box with my engine.
Ya itz nice to see a few rx8s around never mind an sr 13b and 1uz one

Ya the 6 speeds are good for 350 - 400bhp but the torque is the issue however they don't usually make great torque figures. Ya the 231's are carbon fella, its an added expense going at the prop alright but you should be able to keep the beam that connects the box to the diff otherwise it will need a custom bracket... Never mind the RX8's finish that Merc and Mini
