RX8 e-shaft
I have read of people using RX8 e-shafts and I am just curious to why?
Do people normally replace there N/A e-shaft for a RX8 shaft or would it be bennificial to replace my perfectly good S5 T2 e-shaft for an RX8 shaft?

if that is the case then I have no need to replace my eshaft.. and I will just use it.. I am gonna use a lightweight flywheel ayways.

Titos, i though you had to balance everything if something is replaced that isnt the same on the rotating assembly? Because i wanted to get the rx-8 e shaft and a light weight flywheel for my T2 build but though it would need to be rebalanced. If someone could put in there input on this that would be great.

You do not need to have the motor rebalanced when using a new RX-8 E-shaft.
Or I should say, you do not NEED to have the motor rebalanced. From what I gather its a 'to build it right, rebalance it, but you can get away not rebalancing'
I probably will get a balance because I am going to use S5 rotors I got from someone else, plus a new Fidanza flywheel, and a new RX-8 E-shaft. The way I see it, I am not replacing one part, so I might as well do it. But I still think you can get away without balancing.

Exactly. Less weight on the rotors enables higher rpms since the e-shaft will flex less because of inertia.
And if the e-shaft is stronger, than it can witstand more inertia to weight ratios.
