i agree with lennon. modified car is not giving reliability. big hp means less life span. not only engine. i think for bigger hp car the clutch will run out after a few run.

csl

Before any mod on the renesis, I think should find out the root cause of blowing. Will it be the Apex seal too weak or something else.

woodtcb

it was the first tuning,i just try it one time on the road...the water temp are 115 something and oil temp are 117.....then guess what my gear box gone(but the feeling will keep in my heart)cool.. ....now ask the jap guy cut down till 0.7 bar and the rule is i just can rev till 7k RMP to change...this oct the ss crazy will come again....maybe got new thing to test....always be white mouse...

woodtcb

boy you can consider the 3 plate clutch,but not sedap to drive already...the ss crazy tuned r34 N spec nerr over here get 780hp on wheel....when he try the car i sit and the back i wanna .

lennon

What date is he coming?? I wanna see the 'White Mouse'...... October is it during Hari Raya?? I wanna eat penang food..... Yum YUm YUM....

I just install my water temp, will see how it goes....

effie

7k rpm only???? sh*t... .... lennon also only 8k rpm... ... aiya..... like this i don wanna FI my car larrr..... i love RE cars coz of the skyhigh revs..... like this ya'll missing one of the greatest features of RE engines...... 9k rpms ++ WOHOO...........

I was sooo looking forward to turbocharging my 8.......... Hmmmmmm..... maybe get a diff car larr...... I don't want to repeat what happened to my Rx7..... that car spent a lot of time in the workshop, went thru clutches (Mazdaspeed single 3 puk) like ppl change clothes............... blew countless times............ aiya........ all those bad memories come flooding back .......................

csl

I think I'll have to save $$ for NA mod. Maybe can add another 15-25hp and replace the 4.44 FD and then put a baby on board sticker at the rear bonet

lennon

Bro, no point being a dare devil if the engine keep on blowing..... Play safe....

lennon

Try to lighten the car, throw away the back seats or change to Bride, with your exhaust and RE remap you can get 210hp on wheel..... But better throw your air filter away, when the piping is too long, turbulence will occur and it will choke your engine during high RPM...... It's no joke.....

jaii13

Oh yea when is RE remap happening? (if at all)

csl

Now no pipe. Manage to get a used filter box (the box only) with autoexe filter. Air direct in just from the box hole. I don't want to remap 1st because I still not yet decide which way to go. Don't wanna waste extra money. That also the reason why I still not yet change the final drive (that was the 1st thing to change in my plan). Anyway, I may do a dyno when come back. Wanna check if the car have 200hp or not. Cuz felt like just slightly better than my 1.6 Mivec wila since day 1 . If can put 17" rim, I will put that as the 1st choice

lennon

You gotta ask Lee.... He don't want to bring them here yet, maybe until the new shop open??

csl

And the wide body monster RX7 ready (If I drive an evo also don't dare to challenge type)

boonyloh

saying it out loud is easy...

actually doing it.... a whole new world...

u guys are just talking based on papers... not practically...

if it can be done as u said... it would have already been done

lennon

Ang moh would did it long long time oredi loh, we jus follow.......

woodtcb

ang moh treat jap car cheap like big toy....just wanna create a monster , dont care about blow how many engine,just for fun at cheap price,maybe for one rev blow one engine....for them is cheap....
