Hi!

My name is Mark, just moved to Champaign, IL from Hawaii. I've always been interested in building cars. Well, I had to take over payments for my ex-fiance's car, which happens to be a 2005 RX8.. AT.

I recently purchased a turbo kit for it and will be ordering a cobb access port soon. I have a slightly used greddy T618Z bolt on kit w/ intercooler.

Well, I don't have tools and much space to do this job. Is there anybody here that knows a shop or person I can trust to help me install, or do the install for me? Also, approximately how much and how long will it take??

I am trying to weigh things out and see whether or not it is just better for me to invest in the tools and do it my self.

I know almost nothing about RX8s because I spent most of my time building my 97 Eclipse to reach 300WHP 298ft.lbs torque. =) My awesome project that I finished but had to sell due to inheriting huge payments for this RX8.

I have finally accepted the fact that my ex screwed me over. So, I'm gonna start loving the car I have by hopefully installing this turbo soon. I have a limited amount of funds that I can spend. So please, let me know!

Also, what are the MAZDA Part numbers for the things I need, like exhaust gasket, other gaskets, screws, etc prior to attempting the install?? hehe

Thanks again guys..
Mark

p.s. I work for a company who makes pretty cool high performance R/C helicopters for beginners to advanced pilots. I'll definitely help teach whoever how to setup and fly these. I can also give you product along with cash in exchange for your help. =)

Hello Mark, we can probably hook you up with someone up here that will do the install if you wish. Anyway here is a list of RX8 part numbers. It's for an 04, but that shouldn't make any difference. If the numbers are old, the dealer or online supplier can cross it to the correct one.

There are also some service manuals available for download. I don't have the location at the moment, so you'll have to search a little to find them.

Do you need a name change there or here. It is easier to get it taken care of on Evolv. We have the power. Here, I don't quite have those rights.

Hi guys,

I haven't posted here in a couple of years, so I thought I would drop in and say hi

I'm going to try and make it out to a meet next year, just been a little busy focusing on school and getting into college. I just got into a top choice for physics so I can sort of coast now

Been driving my 8 every day since I got it.

Miss all you guys, hope to see you soon
