Hmm wonder how the turbo will react with a hymee exhaust. Do you know if Hymee is using it with his supercharger setup?

I'll email Mark (Hymee) to make sure but for testing purposes if I remember he is using a stock 8 so as other aftermarket parts do not influences testing and dyno runs...etc etc...

but I'm sure it sounds great...I'll make sure Mark gets us a sound clip of the Hymee and FI together :D

I've had a couple of mustangs and older camero's rev their engines and take off at stop lights when I'm next to them.. but I just laugh.. and it doesn't bother me.. (probably the fact that the car doesn't sound like a honda w/ the coffee can muffler.)

Those two that stopped at the light, the only thing "riced" was the coffee can muffler.. the paint was peeling on the cars, the door sills were rusting out.. but nothing like a 4+ inch chrome tail pipe, a lot buzzing noise as they reved... and no traction when they slipped the clutch.. ;)

Speedrx8er, thanks for the comment on the avatar. :) I figured that me hugging my car (and it hugging me) would be pretty funny. ;)

truemagellen, I am going to try to be there at the meet on the 22nd.. hopefully I can make it! I definatly want to check out some of the mods you guys have put on your cars.

Speedrx8er 05-12-2005 11:37 PM

:D Got part laying all over the dinning room table. Just organizing the nuts & bolts and putting them in a nice labled ziploc bag. So when I put the turbo in. I don't have to look for them while I am under the car.

truemagellen 05-12-2005 11:45 PM

Speedrx8er 05-12-2005 11:47 PM

truemagellen 05-12-2005 11:54 PM

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 09:46 AM

Boy, finally got an email from them about my BOV. I ordered it on Tuesday (they had it in stock) and they just shipped it out yesturday!! :(

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 09:47 AM

Today is a good day hehheh :D the install begains as soon as I get home from work :)

truemagellen 05-13-2005 10:32 AM

that is too bad about the BOV...to bad u couldn't get that piece from Mazdaparts as well...but that is ok I'm sure you'll be very busy this weekend :D

good luck...and have fun!

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 10:32 AM

My only issue with the kit I did not get the install instructions. So I downloaded the instruction on-line which is not really detail.
for example:
Go from point A to point B <-- but it does not give you directions :(

The part discription does not match with the part number with .

I am thinking about rewritting the install pdf and give it more detail.
It'll slow my install down a bit but it should help other with their DIY install.

truemagellen 05-13-2005 10:55 AM

many would appreciate it...if you want lots more details on the install their is a thread u probably read that goes into detail on fitment and such...u want the link?

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 10:59 AM

Yes, please post the link

truemagellen 05-13-2005 11:41 AM

here it is...thread is 128 pages long :eek:!!! but this is the link to where the install starts:

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...&page=11&pp=15

Good luck...I'll email the link to you too so you have it right away

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 11:44 AM

:) thanks...

I read through the thread already. :D

truemagellen 05-13-2005 01:02 PM

haha I thought so :D...you are probably itching to get out of work right now too...I'm not sure I could make it past noon :)

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 01:57 PM

:D yup, itching alright!! But to keep from going crazy. I've been reviewing the install direction and taking notes. I haven't really took a good look at the rx8 engine. So maybe you can answer this question.

Are the Oil Pump air Metering hose and the Engine by pass hose from the
oil filler pipe already routed to our stock Air MAS?

truemagellen 05-13-2005 02:12 PM

I'm not sure...I know many Greddy Turbo owners did get the oil catch can (probably unrelated to your question)

do you need the service manual? the pdf copy is at home

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 02:27 PM

Thanks,

I have serveral pdf but not sure if they are the same .

example:

info.pdf, engineProblem.pdf,EgineDetail.pdf, EngineControl.pdf etc...

truemagellen 05-13-2005 02:41 PM

yep...great u got it

:D now fake a stomach ache and make a break for the door! :D

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 03:10 PM

hahaha :D . I'll take off at 4. Once I get home, I'll brew some coffe and refill my mid-night
oil lamp with some oil :). Goal is try to get it down by Saturday night.

Speedrx8er 05-13-2005 03:35 PM

TrueMagellen, you are correct about the egine by pass hose. Its the same one Phil use for his Catch can :)

truemagellen 05-13-2005 03:42 PM

some guy on the forum is selling a barely used greddy oil catch can :)
