If just a BOT kit can keep up with standard evo, I don't actually mind. But then again, the reliability is a question mark. Rebuilt an engine cost too much. If just few k RM for rebuilt, I already put it on earlier. Cheap cheap also need RM13k, cannot play play. Mine just paid 21k, need to becareful.

 

Really expensive indeed.... but if you check compression from time to time, rebuilt it according to your budget, it'll be cheaper...... Rebuilt only cost 8k, your case is you blow it..... I won't pay that much for an engine....

 

I pay more for a reason. If next time I blow it up again , I will have a reference for the porting session .

Again, do you find the solution for the BOT kit to become reliable or not? Or maybe need to change fuel pump besides ECU tuning.

 

If got a chance to meet, can you bring me for a short drag to test you BOT ar? :D

 

maybe we dont have to change to an FD engine to get the power of FD, wha makes the FD more powerful mabbe is becos the lower compression and therefore the capacity to withstand more boost which means more power...so.... maybe all u need to swap is the FD rotoes and apex seals...
the Renesis hs its advantages aswell becos of the side intake ports

so maybe the ideal setup for rx8 could be a BOT + rx7 rotors&seals + biggerturbo + better EMS

 

Your equation got problem..... RX7 rotor can't be used in Renesis......

 

as you call SS crazy ma....jap guy are pian tai one....

 

Nothing such as reliable for modded car...... It would be reliable if you don't overreved, maintain frequently, don't rev when the fuel level is low, check compression, upgrade cooling system..... But then it still will blow, ever notice race engine would last only 3000km-4000km, n those engine was well balanced then ours'...... Don't drive like you stole it everyday, best thing to do.....

 

Did SS Crazy got any 'Pian Tai' idea to make 8 go faster??

 

pardon my ignorence....... what the hell does "SS Crazy" mean or refer to.... issit a workshop of mechanic? i seriously dunno larr....... Or does it mean "Syok Sendiri" hahahahaha

 

If there is a safe revving reference rpm......
I just can't live with 6-7k rpm...

 

with a lil digging i think it can...whyd u say it cant tho? i havent done enough research yet to justify my point...

 

if im not mistaken eric... i think the GReddy turbine can manage up to 350whp... if u wanna go for more... i think there r gonna be alot more mods than just the turbine... o.o... something im tryin 2 figure out now as well...

 

How reliable is a FD engine compare to Renesis?

 

I just would keep quiet until you have put on RX7 rotor and fail it..... But since now you ask, i would give you a clue..... Look at the side seal and O-ring seal of Renesis and FD rotor......

You are not the first thousands to think of this idea, i tried......

 

SS Crazy is the workshop that setup the Ferrari JGTC GT300 race car...... He's Wood and gang's tuner too....

 

NA is safe for 8.5k-9k rpm, For my car i limit it to 8k.....

 

then haw about

BOT + rx7seals & modified rx8 rotors + biggerturbo + better EMS

 

frankly speaking for turbos, no 1 bar and above, no fun

 

Modified rotor is still possible, but would be very hard..... You need to carve three different sections into equal thickness and shape, then still need balancing machine for this..... Can't be done here.....

If you use RX7 aftermarket seals, you need machining to groove the seal sittings..... I did this and believe this is pretty strong...... American seals goes thru cryogenic (term not so sure) process, which freeze it intensively then heat it, that process is done for couple of cycles, then you have 7 times stronger seal.....

 

More boost need more tyre grip, plus AWD would be better for 400hp monster IMHO...... RX7 max boost is 1 bar, yet still very powerfull....

 

dont know who will be the first monster 8 at malaysia....boost over 1 bar....i have try till 0.9 bar...very dangerous....pah pah....

 

What is your water temp at 0.9 bar?? Really fierce lah ...... I wanna up 0.6 bar next month.....

 

as far as adrenaline rush goes, there is very little that can compete with an evo-ed proton...im itching to get a satria neo with evo inside..

 

You like dragging ?? Then you should go for it.......
