It's the HKS FD cast manifold w/Percision BB T67 turbo.
Turbo is from the Mazsport type 2 turbo kit, that was used on the renny before it crapped out.

Nope haven't changed them yet, looking at some different options.
I'm really liking the newer BW EFR turbos.

I also like the new EFR set ups but really a kit has to be designed around them from the begining to take full advange of what they offer. I think a Twin scroll set up with a custom mani and twin wastegates would be the way to go. I would have to do the calculations but this one looks about correct: Garrett GT4094R Twin Scroll Turbo - Full-Race.com

I'm looking at the EFR 8374 twin scroll IWG and building my own manifold.
But really just window shopping for now.

All I can focus on is the monster battery

Also what are the modules for? Located where the OE coolant tank and the OE air-pump used to be located?

Laugh all you want... that's fine, battery will get relocated when I get off my *** one day and complete the wire tuck/battery relocation.

Tanks are coolant reservoir, overflow & washer fluid.

Did not mean it in a bad way at all. Everything is real clean, just recommending a smaller battery of a relocation like you stated. Also thinking about the sore joints associated with all that polishing.

Also I mean the electrical modules you have in place of where the OE tanks was in the front and the black module you have located behind the passenger strut tower.

No offense taken, it's kinda sad on my part because I've been putting off the battery relocation and wire tuck for the last two years. Failure on my part

Black box it the boost controller...... another thing I plan to relocate also.
It never ends... Lol

Talking Back from DGRR 2014

Little late but I wanted to post up some pics from DGRR 2014.

This is my third straight year in her and she ran great.
I put 1,800+ miles on her this trip and she wasn't babied either.

DGRR is full of great people and awesome cars!
I won first place RX-8 again. I was really surprised cause there were some sweet 8's in attendance.
Im hoping to have some new stuff done to the car for DGRR 2015.

Sorry just crappy iPhone pics...
