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?
The same fan controller can be used in RX-7 or RX-8. Just to have the connection right. It uses the ECU to collect signals of coolant temp and switch it on and off.

http://www.billion-inc.co.jp/data/vf...gure_mazda.pdf
Read above!

For RX-8 there are 2 fan lines - but does not matter which one goes with each. Since when one is on = low fan speed for both fans and when 2 (F1 and F2) are on = high fan speed for both fans.

So simply get the power and ground it - it works...

I think I should have got the HKS version since I can see the water temp and adjust it digitally. I only need a diagram to hook it up where the link above has...

PS.

Track. I have the chamber -1.25 front and -1 rear. Toe out front and toe in rear. I am still experimenting with an expert.

mods are listed in the link below *(the car)

The mazdaspeed rear wing increase drag and create down force and stabilze the rear end.... am I going to hell how ... it is mildly effective and looks heaps better.

I lap faster than a porsche @ Sandown raceway... http://www.sandownraceway.com.au/

4 bar when my foot is pressing at about 40%, which is unreasonable.... I do get 5 bar but at full throttle.... My main concern is the strange sound after installation of the oil cooler... The low pressure will starve my turbo.....

Does the Mazdaspeed comes with additional oil pump like the HKS??

No additional oil pump, neither do the US models who has 2 oil cooler stock.

So I guess the 2 oil pump is better - unless they are not pumping in sync...creating some turbulance in flow.

boony.. travelling fast is good since there are good cooling to your system... try fanging it between red lights - it will go up very quickly.

Oil pressure of course fluctuate - depends on rev, throttle position and oil temp.

The max I get on the track is 5.2-5.3 bar. They only go to 5 bars - it is a rotary not a VTEC engine.

It is alright... my advice is do not watch the oil pressure gauge while you are driving... watch the road ^_^"

I thought it will be the opposite... more downforce at the rear to create stability while cornering...
