My oil cooler is done yesterday. Its not Trust oil cooler but a Blitz one. It's a bit longer than the original one. But the size would be about the same as HKS one (in terms of cooling factor). I use a single loop rather than two loop like Boony's. But the pressure remains the same (according to my mechanic since i'm not there). I spray silver paint onto my original oil cooler to make it even.. So Boony, you should do the same mah...hheheh

I'll let you guys know about the drop of oil temperature from my car.... On monday...

yohji

ok...another question again.Hm..now then i know that my car come without any

alarm system.my fren told me that japanese sport does't come wif any alarm

system.So he actually ask me to fix a alarm system so call "viper" correct me if

wrong spelling.He told me that i will get 2 extra "card" without the card i can't

start my car....Anyone know about that?and the price will be 1000+?Any alarm

system that u all know is better than tis?and what is the alarm system that u all

have now?

lennon

Bro, you really ask a lot........ Clifford, Viper and another brand which forget it's name are the best choice around... me using Clifford together with some other fella.... I like the omni-sensor which warn the intruder rather than trigger the alarm straight away.

But i dunno wat viper card it is but it might br the same as Marcus'.. so better ask him

boonyloh

Any news???

i'm picking it up after work

its fine with me even though ther are 2 colours..... just wondering....what happens to the charactoristic of the oil cooler after you respay it.... u do know u are adding a layer of coat on top of it.... still as functional as before? just my 2 cents

Jtan

Yo guys is there any gathering or meet up coming soon? I have alot questions bout the car although i've been driving my 8 for 2 months adi...noob me. T_T

lennon

I pick up my car just now n the oil temp is at 90 degree..... Quite satified with the custom oil cooler... But still i have to rev it kuat kuat to see wat is the highest temp. Spraying a layer of paint on top of the original oil cooler wont change the characteristic much.... In fact it will oni looks good....heheh

lennon

I always meet up at JSOC meeting..... if you got any thing to ask you can find me, marcus or vincent during this meet... i'll tell you the location.... or just post it here...

i have been running it at wot just now... max i got is 90 with ambience at 30C so i think it works fine... but my water temp is at 97C .....time for a radiator??

boonyloh

will post up pics and my review on it tomorrow to tired now...

ngwei2402

that day i go n ask the mod price
mod to twin throttle,take out catalyzer,install microtech
for RM8-9000,is this ok~?

boonyloh

bro..... do u know that the ecu of the rx-8 controls vertually everything from air-con to injector frequency..... currently there is no other standalone ecu that can replace it

and when u take off the cat ....u will have the cel lights coming on.... for that price i rather save up a bit and buy a turbo kit IMHO

lennon

Where do you ask for these mods?? Twin throttle?? I dunno wat is the price for microtec... can some one tell me...

Add a fan controller like me and turn it on - you will see the needle goes back to 82 degree. Well 84 now coz it is hot today (30 degree).

Billion makes fan controller for RX-8s. I think HKS does it too.

lennon

Not to say that no aftermarket ECU can replace original one..... just that when you upgrade your ecu, better upgrade your intake and exhaust system (not just removing the 'MEOW') too to enable your engine to produce more horses... Our ecu runs at 32 bit which Mines insist of using back the original ecu... Links can send our ecu to Mines Japan for program upgrade, eliminating speed cut and ect... I heard it cost 4k while your car sit at the garage for 2 months...

Ultimately HKS F-Con V Pro is the best aftermarket but freaking expensive, 6k for ecu and oni authorise workshop can program it...

ngwei, i propose to you to use the Unichip... i think it should be cheaper than Microtech but has the same outcome.... One of my friend try to introduce me a tuner from JB.... he have some RX8 customers from Singapore that uses Unichip.... I think the Cost will be less than RM2500

lennon

82 degree during hot summer in Aus... Thats unbelievable....

boonyloh

.........continued

As seen from the pics..... the HKS oilcooler looks not as visible tucked behind the grill.......

I have gotten 3 more readings last night..... 87C constant at 28C ambience.... but after a period of wot and when i slow down to a stop for a longer period of time and the car doesn't move it will rise to around 97C i had my oil temp set on warning at 100C so far so good no warnings....
this weekend will be the day to test it again for the readings as i will be travelling down south will be driving constantly for a bout 3 hrs. during the day at temps above 30C so it should be a failry contant and accurate reading

here are the pics

Nice...

I think you do not panic about the oil temp. With 2 oil coolers we will never be in the dangerous level. I track my car in late spring (ie 2 months ago) and I only have oil temp to 110. Seeing the boiling point is 140, this is still very low.

In fact, the MazdaSpeed Defi kit suggest the warning light to be set at 135 degree . I set the oil temp to 125 and water temp to 110. I will not race my car on the track higher than that...

To be honest, take an effort to add a controller before thinking the radiator ... it may well what you need. Thermostat is useless since the car idle and on freeway at 82 degree (it is exactly when the thermostat valves opens). I doubt a 70 degree C thermostat will help much. It may delay the water temp going up - but it will get there eventually.

****....my order(hks oil cooler kit) from n1racing 2 months ago, just tell me that the hks com. just need to has more order to produce it...no i cancel order liao..think to find other dealer...so disapointed..

boonyloh

Thanks Taka....

maybe i'll set it just as high as you

and the fan controller is it the same as RX-7s ? my friends are using pivot's fan controllers seems to be effective.....

when u do tracking how is your car setup? suspension camber ? and toe ?

what other mods you have on the car?

1 more thing, just how effective is the mazdaspeed rear wing?

boonyloh

how come?

i'm sure HKS have ready stocks, those people probably just didn't order for u until u called up and that's their lame excuse oh btw i just ordered a mazdaspeed front bumper..... can't wait for it to come

i called up racecraft the other day to ask about the re-amemiya style gt wing... but thiers is 3 piece... so sian...... haven't see your car for a long time..... when u wanna come out for coffee?
