Easy knows better. But looks like the tuning will have to continue.

Post up the dyno numbers! Who got tuned?

ya id like to see some boosted numbers, I really wanted to go!

The only numbers I know of was one with a upgraded greddy turbo kit(not sure of the owner). I think easy said it put down 260whp?

nice maybe this winter ill get my turbo project rolling...

did dondo get tuned?

They were trying. I believe it was Matt who got the 260.

who was doing the tuning?
I need to check this thread out more often!

Mazda Maniac if I am correct.

OK Recap time.

3 cars dynoed.

1st, Mattand1kidd. Stock engine. Greddy MM Upgraded Turbo kit.
Managed to get another 50 whp out of it. Just need to do some Boost Controller tuning.

The other two cars did not do so well. The Top mount turbo, I had to swap out the ignition on. Still needs some spark plugs.
And the SC 8 has some interesting issue at about 6000 rpm. It goes lean, like 14.7afr lean, and then back to normal without a hicup.
Neither obtained the power I had hoped. So back to the drawing board.

new RX-8 owner. would like a second opinion
 

Hi. I'm a total car geek and a new RX-8 owner.

I recently got my new (to me) 04 RX-8. I've been scouring the forums to answer a lot of my questions. I still think there is too much play in the drive line. When I get on or off the gas there is definitely movement. I've replaced the engine mounts, adjusted the PPF. Still clunky. I've taken it to both University and Lee Johnson, and they can't seem to isolate it.

I'd love to, perhaps, meet up with another owner and get a second opinion. I live in Bellevue and work in Seattle.

Anyone interested? Please let me know :)

Did they check the drive shaft U-joints for play? Diff?

No, I don't think they did. That would make sense, as any rotational motion would be exaggerated on and off load.

I get the idea of a driveshaft U-joint. But when you say diff, what are you referring to? the diff itself, or a connected part?

And, I suppose I should ask, how does one check the drive shaft and dif. I see from various posts, that the U-joints are integral with the OEM shaft. It wouldn't take a whole lot of play to be felt through the driveline and it would be exagerated the further you went away from the broken piece? I jacked up the rear and played with moving the wheel while in 2nd gear, but I don't think it told me anything :)

Thanks for the suggestions and help!

I took the car to Jerry's Little Car shop. He said my movement was normal. I will continue learning to be smoother on my transitions.

so is and1kid boosted now?

I would consider a different tuner......

Thinking about taking a cruise this Sunday. Gonna bring my GoPro and camera. If anyone wants to join. I'll post up a event thread. Not looking to do much other than enjoy the fall scenery.

Just saw a convoy of vw bugs rollin up the 405 to the 90 heading east :)

Thinking about putting a meet together for next month? I have been wanting to eat some deep dish pizza and found a place in Seattle. It had some pretty good ratings. Kylie's Chicago Pizza was the name of the place.

I never knew that place was there. If I can't make it I will definately stop by. I've been looking for a deep dish pizza place :)

My favorite spot is Talarico's in West Seattle. Gigantic pizza by the slice, made to order and a salad. Doesn't get much better.

Bring it to me after I get back from Vegas. (Early next week.) I'll be more than happy to look at it for you. We can arrange a time,

I'm new here, but would be absolutely interested!

Awesome! thanks. Have sent PM.

Come on out!

I really have to start writing my build plan down. My head hurts from plotting what route to go with the 8.
