fastlaneracing 03-31-2009 12:34 PM

No problem, happy to help fellow rx-8 owners.

By the way I work for an Italian Company right know, its a small world =)

bse50 03-31-2009 12:36 PM

What company? :)

dozer 03-31-2009 12:38 PM

i like my midpipe (turboxs) its connected to the stock exhaust and its pretty quiet at idle, sounds nice above 4k rpm, and i DO have a cel

Tecnimont, its an engineering and entreprenor company in process industry.

I think they are quite big in Italy, I work as an contractor so I really dont know so mutch about them.

I think they are located in the middle of Italy or more to the north but im not sure.

bse50 03-31-2009 01:54 PM

I got that ;)

Where did you get yours? How much? Who fitted it for you? I have noticed a fairly odd smell from exhaust fumes :lol:

I modified my TurboXS exhaust race pipe by adding a MagnaFlow HighFlow CAT.

I had this on the RX8 for about 6 or 7 months without any issues. The exhaust pipe without the CAT had a permanent CEL. I also have Scanalszer which allows me to delete the CEL, but it always came back after 2 drive cycles.
Will AccessPort delete the CEL permanently?

shazy 03-31-2009 11:24 PM

Yes it will, congrats on your 200th post :)

fastlaneracing 04-01-2009 12:49 AM

No it will not but it will mask it.

Beautiful 8 man! I'm looking for something to increase my power but which will also pass an NCT without any mods. Any ideas on where and how much?

O'Renesis 04-01-2009 07:57 AM

I think the best option for both power and NCT compliance is the RX7 Store high flow CAT pipe, http://www.rx7store.net/category_s/300.htm
It is a bit expensive especially when you add the shipping/tax cost from USA. Try ask one of the forum vendors if they can do something along similar lines and maybe even cheaper.

bse50 04-01-2009 08:00 AM

Lasse is doing way better products.
They also have a resonator to make them even quieter plus it is not a junk catalyzer but a Ferrita one... that pretty much says it all!

That sounds like a plan:)
What is the cost?

bse50 04-01-2009 08:21 AM

I am not sure but it should be around the 5\600€ mark.
This is because Ferrita catalyzers are very expensive, but they are not as prone to gutting as many other catalyzers do.
I tried 2 brain catalyzers (a 200cpsi one and a FIA homolgate 100cpsi one) and i melted both. Then i switched to ReAmemiya's one and it is still on, with no CELs and no signs of wear of any tipe. I tracked it for 40conescutive minutes at 38°celsius in the summer for several times :)
This Ferrita one should be able to survive temperatures around the 1100°C mark so i am pretty sure that it will be better than my reamemiya and with a lower cost.
Lars has got some experience in racing rotaries so i trust his word. Consider that if the cat is not available yet it is just because he is TESTING it along with Ferrita if i understood him right! :)

fastlaneracing 04-01-2009 08:47 AM

Just to make it clear, its not Ferrita cat, its a HJS Cat.

I have been using Ver 1 for awile and waiting to get ver 2 soon.

That cat will be a HJS Cat used for DTM, WRC etc.

bse50 04-01-2009 08:48 AM

Great then but I thought that Lars was switching to Ferrita.
I guess we'll wait and see :)

Ferrita is not manufactor any cats, Ver 1 was a ecocat and Ver 2 will be a HJS cat.

They produce only exaust systems.

We do not need to wait and see because I know both Lars and Micael (Managing Director at Ferrita) :eyetwitch

But as said earlier, Ver 2 will be one of the best midpipes around for sure.

O'Renesis 04-01-2009 04:26 PM

I found online prices for HJS cat's. The 61mm 100 cell cat costs about €600+ shipping. That being the case Lassy's pipe and cat must be very much more expensive. Way too expensive for the average user, IMO.
The 76mm 100cell cat costs about €680.

http://kmdtuning.com/?_a=viewProd&productId=187

HJS also make a 200cell cat which might be cheaper? Will a 100cell cat pass emissions in the EU?

O'Renesis 04-01-2009 04:42 PM

Here is a link to a UK site with 100 and 200cell HJS cats, http://www.motorsportcats.com/motors...lyst_range.cfm

fastlaneracing 04-02-2009 12:35 AM

Do remember that Lasse sell a finished midpipe with one resonated, not only the cat.

Also HJS have different cats, be sure its their 3" DTM cat not a regular (cheaper)

Ver. 1 has been tested for like 2 years so this will be really good.

Dont compare apples to orange ;)

If someone is interested in the right price I can ask Lars.

Thanks for that man but I HATE those big loud dirty exhausts :lol: I think I'll stick with what I have, those prices are scary!

BTW if anyone in Ireland needs a catalytic converter replaced, I have a better option than Mazda who are charging €1500 + fitting. A company in Naas I think have the same thing for €800 + fitting.

fastlaneracing 04-02-2009 05:09 AM

I wouldnt bother fitting an non well tested and special addapted cat to our renesis engines, trust me if you go a little lean it will be burnt out quite quick.

i have killed one in only 2000km and its was said to be a tough one.
