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.

 

:D

I'll send out a reminder email next week

 

Pick up my Turbo at UPS today. Right after I met up with Truemagellen.
To bad is alittle chilli . However, I'll spend a few hours on the prep work. Or just call in sick tomorrow hhhehehe :D

 

yes you got the Tubo!

 

: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.

 

:D

 

I hope the BOV comes in on Saturday

 

is it through UPS?...unless paid for it wont...but if you are lucky it will arrive at the center on friday and then try to pick it up even if not scheduled for drop off until monday...but luck must be on your side...call ups and work it out

 

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!!

 

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

 

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!

 

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.

 

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?

 

Yes, please post the link

 

here it is...thread is 128 pages long !!! 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

 

thanks...

I read through the thread already. :D

 

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

 

: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?

 

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

 

Thanks,

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

example:

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

 

yep...great u got it

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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