OZZY Custom Turbo Install
 

Hi guys , Just informing you I have started a Custom Turbo kit for the 8

Had the car at Rotary Beat on the Gold Coast for 3 months and NOTHING has been done :eek: STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY.,...!!!! He is so unprofessional and cost me sooooo much in time and money. :mad:

Anyhow enough about that WANKER letgs talk about wankels!!

Battery out and filter[IMG]http://[/IMG]

Got the intercooler in position ...Its a Delta Core type ...Half the weight 4kg and better flow characteristics

Ciao

Dave

dave, what happened to the Greddy kit?

Still got it ....Sheez this has been a really expensive exercise.. :eek:

If anyone wants it they can PM me :)

Ciao

Dave

A FMIC looks sweet on the RX-8 :D

Only got a week to finish most of the instal if Im any chance of attending the Nats

Manifold is getting done today and Turbo should be ready in a couple of ..

Stay posted its all happening !

Stay Beautiful

Dave

I was surprised that was the case when you told me on the phone. But yet again, it is not the first time I hear "A" machanic that does that. Thinks just get out of hand, and even my mechanic does that to my friend when he was not pushed (with a whip in your right hand).

Good luck to the turbo kit... keep us informed.

its going to be interesting....... cant wait for the result
the boost bug is getting bigger each week :rolleyes: :o

why did you go custom and not the greddy?

The Greddy kit was not what going to give me the power I wanted ...I thought it would initially suffice but Stupidly thought I could do better; Plus I dont work and wanted a challenge... :cool:

This challenge proves to be testing but on the other hand sooooo rewarding ...much more than bolting on a kit

I am really enjoying the metamorphisis :D

I have biult many engines and love engineering ..so marrying the two would get all my creative juices flowing :)

Ciao

Dave

Shopping for some oil and new spark plugs today...Time is of the esscence

Im thinking of either Fuchs 5w40 synthetic or Mobil 1 :confused:

and for the plugs Some NGK 10s . Does anyone know where I can get them in OZ. Global spares doesnt even have a part no. for them ....TAKA?? anyone :confused:

Intercooler piping should get here today :D

Smile Lots

Dave

I got my NGK 10s plug from Fujita Engineering ... it was via japanparts.com

Why not order them through mazda? Or are they different to the stock plugs which are crap?
How much are you looking at for a set of sparks?

In MazdaManiac experience on the tubro. A colder set of plug is advised.

Certainly, the way I read it in the Jap Magazines (RX-7 Magazine), most RX-7 are using NGK 10 or 9 for their plugs and they said it will helps with misfiring on high revs.

Yes, I don't last as long as hotter plugs and the mag said most RX-7 HAS TO change their plugs every 8000km :eek:

I am trying a set of NGK 10 and NGK 9 on my car. I think it will not last more than 30000km ;) but I will change it after 15000km. It has only 5000km so far and mostly on highway. Yes it helps with the roughless of the rev at 8000rpm @ 4th gear ;)

C'mon Dave...spill the beans...FFS, forget oil and spark plugs....what's the turbo? ;) :D

We are using for the prototype a custom unit comprising of a t3/t4 SETUP .Utilising revoloutionary exremely efficient ceramic bearings

The guy is responsible for building the turbos for the fastest rotaries in the world...He really knows his stuff

We are mounting it direclty to the exhaust ports to eliminate lag ..the manifold and turbo is the same weight as the OEM manifold alone !!( light stuff )

I will post pics ..Manifold done.... :) turbo neeeeeeeeeeeearly :rolleyes:

Intercooler should be finished off tommorow

I have received a some interest about the possibility of purchasing one of my kits ..

As I am not working currently Im sure I can put a package together for forum members We'll see ;)

Ciao

Dave

Can't wait to see...and you know this place -- build a kit that offers 200+RWKw for $5k, and you'll be beating 'em off ;)

Hmm...ceramic bearings....so no oiling issues??...interesting :)

interesting..... suppose the more options for us the better for our wallets :D

I am confident of achieving 300+ RWHP ..but I dont shoot my mouth off without facts ...This turbo can flow 450 hp so we're not restricted in that department..

Its ceramic composite bearings will spool up 20% quicker than Garett ball bearings..I have a test where a WRX using ball bearings has a dyno test ..and when the Exact turbo is replaced with these new ceramic types..the car made the same power 1000RPM lower ...Ill have to dig this test up and post it

As for pricing .......I could have stage 1 as an affordable option then Stage 2..3.....Lets wait and see :)

B.....Happy

Dave

Do they just do bolt on, or do they crack your engine open and do overhaul there!?

I know of the Revolution company in Japan offers overhaul of engine with modification of the apex seal, side seal, and corner seal groove - I think it is on the rotor?! Modified the rotor ring, polish port and engine balancing.

They have stage II overhaul for turbo RENESIS where they enlarge port, and change to FD3S apex seals.

Their site is closed but it is a 2nd liner of rotary mod company in Japan - but they are still good.

Any of those work can be done in Australia - I think something to keep in mind down the road.

They said with this overhaul - engine will feel like 'brand new'

Thanks TAKA, thats good info to know

Ciao

Dave

the FD guys have been using ceramic seals for their rebuilds.

so they should be... after a proper run in of course...
has anyone noticed every 2nd "RX" for sale trading post ad had "freshly rebuilt engine", "running in atm".... :D

way to many burnouts :D

If anyone wants to take off the flywheel ,,,,you gonna need one these.....its a high powered 54mm rattle gun ...Thanx for my friends at Dyson Rotaries for letting me borrow it


https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...id=59388&stc=1

I can't see the first 4 attachments nor the flywheel/clutch one.
Gives me an error after clicking them.

The turbo and airgun show up fine.

Adrian Try now....bloody finally wurked kit out....By the way,, most honoured you found my lil thread

Ciao

Dave

Nope, still nothing. They show up as a box with red x's now.

I've been following your thread for awhile.
I may go custom turbo in the future. My Greddy turbo is only getting me 220whp now. I'm waiting for my Interceptor EMS to arrive and hopefully get more hp. I don't know how long it'll last once I'm at 10-12psi all the time.

I was so pissed off....Mechanics!!! :mad:

He promised me the world ........ :o and gave me an Atlas !!!!!

Cheers

Dave

dont worry, you werent the first one, and certainly wont be the last one.
keep trying dave, a good mechanic is very difficult to come by... if you found one, hang on to it

I can see now. Looks good.

Does anyone know where I can get colder plugs from.......Ive tried Auto Bahn ..Global,,,,I can only get my handa on ngk 11's but they may be too cold ......perhaps,, :confused: and theyre 60 bux ea

Thanks

Dave

dave, give one of those big rotary shops a call, they will have some in stock.
or ask them for the part number, mr. autobahn should be able to order them for you ;)
isnt mazfix in QLD? ;)

Did you say earlier you were mounting the turbo straight to the exhaust ports?

Cheers,
Hymee.

:p :p

[/QUOTE]

"It" meaning the turbo and mainfold ,,,,,,,but you knew that ... ;)

shiftycheekybastard :D :D

Smile lots :)

Dave

Thanks for the clarifaction. So what is new/different about mounting a turbo direct onto the exhaust.manifold, and how does that eliminate lag?

Cheers,
Hymee.

The turbo itself is approx 4in from the exhaust port..we designed the manifold that way ....so instant spooling ..some turbo kits advertised are mounted high up in the engine bay causing long exhaust runners and longer spool rates....

the turbo is moderately sized but has large wheels , and with these bearings SHOULD spool up Greddy Style ..super quick ( their turbo is much smaller AND no ball bearings..)

Hey just thought of something..
1. your blower alone is about as heavy as my entire kit :)
and 2. just your management alone cost more than what it cost me to build my entire kit .....he he :p


Luv ya long time

Dave

what about exhaust velocity? restricted port runners, sharp bends, changes in pipe diameter all affect exhaust velocity.

Good point

If you have a look at the pikkies of the manifold you will see smoothe flowing bends ,which will aid air speed ...the Greddy manif has insanely sharp bends.. And the fact that it is so close to the engine block will again help get exhaust air out. The pipe diameter is constant throughout the manifold ..thus maintaining airspeed

We will not know anything concrete until we get her on the dyno....remember this project is not even a week old.....patience grasshopper :cool:

B..... Cool

Dave

Its time to make the adjustments to the compressor housing ...is proving to be quite a toil.
We need to make the necsesary bends from the outlet but dont want to restrict flow

should take most of the day .....spewin......

Also making a custom exhaust ....also a bloody pain ...Cant get anyone to supply me with the exhaust I need!!

Ciao

Dave

Ok i havent been exactly following this thread - so dont bite my head off..

Ciao when you rekon the turbo will be fully functioning?? been a bloody long time!!

Gee its barely been a week :eek:

It should be ready in a week fingers crossed ......Ive just found a company in Melbourne that can supply me with the mufflers I want...should be comming mon /tues ..so all in all we should be done by end of next week..thats exhaust.....turbo and management .....going for a world record :o

Stay beautiful

Dave

1 week, feels like forever!! Hopefully end of next week hehe

True, but it makes it even better once he gets it done. ;)

It's only been a week, not counting the time the previous mechanic he was working with did nothing ;)

Ok, you're going hard Dave...big question...what management??

Wel im counting bak to the day he first got the turbo shipped in. now since then its been ages!! haha

im just impatient girl. when i want somethin - i want it now :rolleyes:

timbo, the management he means is letting me manage the car - drive it around and around and around

If ( should say when )Im there in October you can take it for a spin ....and anyone else who wants to experience a thrusted 8. :D

Timbo ,weve got a few options with management,,it most probably will be a Chip Torque option as Mazda Aus. has already spent the money and time ironing out the bugs ,,,,,it comes with a 2 stage ,boost controller ,,,can you believe that.. :cool:

Mega Cool :cool: ...stay tuned

Dave
