Well, then the electrician is quite talented if he's got two ECUs powering one engine 
The ECU does control the fuel cut and the independent wheel braking when any of the rear wheels are spinning faster than the other. Quite intriguing but a very good swap if it is working like its supposed to.
Is the DSC/TC still two phase with the DSC and the TC? Or is it just working in one phase (TC)?
Secondly, how'd you get the engine to fit in? What modifications were required on the chassis? Most importantly how did the transmission fit into the existing space? The RX8's original transmission is quite compact so its a bit of a task to get anything else to fit.
Further more, what about the cross-member and mounts? The original mounts of the car are rubber with liquid filling which absorbs a lot of the engine bounce during hard cornering. Whatever your mechanic fabricated I'm sure is a solid mount because we don't really have the technology to make a proper engine mount here. How does the car feel around corners? Vibration? Rattle?
And on the topic of handling, the RX8 stock, handles like its on rails, you can literally put it into any corner if you remotely know what you're doing. With the added weight, the car is obviously no longer on a 50/50 weight balance as the engine is a) heavier and b) no longer sitting behind the front axles. So how does the body feel? I'm sure its heavier and not as nimble as before?
And what about the power steering + rack, is it still using the original EPS? Is the airconditioner working?
Sorry for bombarding you with questions like this, I have a friend who is considering a similar swap so I've been gathering information...
Thanks
