hi everyone am new rx8 owner brought 2005 blue rx8 with recent engine rebuild as well as lot of new parts fitted
first question is bloke had oil bottle fitted with rx8 plate under hood but never plumbed it in how would i go about plumbing it in instead of premix
second question have got hold of rx8 pz prodrive exhaust rear part would i need to remap ecu if i fit back part of it
thanks for help in advance
first welcome
second read the new owners thread about 12 times. no really read this!
after all that, find out what kind of "oil bottle" it is. catch can? sohn adapter? etc.
is the exhaust a cat back only? or is it a mid pipe? the only reason to have to re-tune with an exhaust is a header to squeeze out ~ .2 hp or mask the CEL for the cat
thanks its the sohn adapter but only have the tank
i know shouldnt be asking in this thread but wont let me do a wanted post as am new to site am looking for second hand SAMCO Silicone Coolant Hose Kit and radiator as mine has just gone
Or check if the owner has installed it already and just not connected the reservoir? Take out the battery and the battery box and look toward the bottom of the engine. You should see a black component with some wires and connectors. If it has an aluminium block in the middle of it and that aluminium block has a brass hose connector pointing upward from it, that is the Sohn adaptor and you should probably not drive the car until you have that plumbed to the oil container.
If you don't see anything like that, you'll need to buy it, or just skip on the whole thing and let the stock OMP do its thing. Eitherway, it is not an alternative to premixing.
