Be truely believe the air pump staying on after you turn your car off is normal.
It is trying to burn the leftover exhaust gases in the system.

 

It's in Northwood, ND...It's about a 30 min drive from Grand Forks. I'll let you know when I go. Where in MN are you located?

 

Do you know what kind of power your getting out of your car? How much boost are you kickin out?

 

I am in St. Paul.

Sorry don't know the power. I have not Dyno my car yet.

I am getting a 5 or 6 psi
At this point wife will not let me spend any more $$ on the car

I am tempted get a boost controller and boost her up to 10 psi

 

I hear you on the wife thing and the boost thing...Next time you get on it in 1st and 2nd see what your boost is doing. Mine drops down to 3lbs in 1st and 4lbs in second. Once I'm in 5th or 6th it'll jump up to 5.5lbs???

 

I go through 1st and 2nd so fast didnt' even notice any boost. I check tonight and watch the gauge as I shift .

 

Speedrx8er, did you ever take any pictures of your boost guage installation?

 

Fray ahha lol yes, just didn't post it yet. I'll post it tonight.

 

Fray,

I got side tracked. Working on the DV cam mount for our next meet.

 

<rant>
My neighbors house (and a bunch down the street) got hit by orange paint ***** last night.. _EEK_

One of the ones from my neighbors house was either shot OVER my RX-8 or the person was standing next to it when they shot.. In either case, I'm not happy..

So the car cover is now on the RX-8.. (gotta get my housemate moved out so I can get the car in the garage!)
</rant>

 

Sorry to hear that. Dang kids these day have no respeat for other people's properties

 

Does anyone know where the ECT Temp Sensor is?

Joey

 

Speed, did you tune your car at all?

 

Sorry don't know where the ECT Temp Sensor is located.
Only tuning I did was with the BOV.

 

Fray here are the pic of the boost gauge in the ash tray

 

Ahh very cool.. looks better then even I thought it could be.

 

Thank. Thinking about filling in the sidess or make a cover plate.

 

I just bought a black RX8. I live in St. Paul. I don't see many RX's around here either - although I just took the car up north to Lutsen to celebrate my wedding anniversary. While driving up to Grand Marias (sp?) admist all the pickups pulling boats or minivans full of kids, I passed a blue RX8 heading the other way.

Aric.

 

NICE!!! welcome to the club. we have an MN RX-8 news group that was just started a few weeks ago. If you want to be on the list please email me your email address to champakeo@gmail.com.

Also, where in St. Paul are you?

 

Speed
Let me know next time you guys decide to get together I'll have to make a trip up that way. June 18th everyone is going to the track in Sabin, MN if anyone wanted to go.

Joey

 

Papajoey sure will.

Anyways you ever figured out your psi? I am heary 7 at lower rpm 5 at higher.
I am not seeing an 7 at any range on my car

 

1st and 2nd gear I'm running 3 and in the rest of the gears it gets higher...5th gets 5 and sometimes 6th will get around 6psi??? I just called this place and they said I can bring my car in to get Dynoed, so we will look for leaks and see what horsepower I'm getting. I wonder if my wastegate is set low by the factory by accident or something? I'll keep you posted...Joey

 

Joey, Nice
Its possible the wastegate is set low .
Yes please keep me posted.
thanks
