installing Turbo on rx8
 

I'd rather be
1. shot and killed
2. Road raged and killed
3. shot in the ass by Dick Cheney
4. lost on an Island
5. starve for 2 days
6. Harass random people on the forum
7. chat randomly on AIM
8. buy a civic
9. buy a used FC
10. buy a house
11. kill random people
12. ask John to do it

/end Rant

my hands are all messed up, my head has fuel everywhere

and this all just for installing the new injectors, which by the way turned my car from an already very loud car into a "Hey cops within 50 miles radius, pls come catch this moron who also now has a leaking fuel line" (no worries, one of the internal fitting for the quick connector on the outer fuel line is unfortunately loss, I'll use the one from the emission line, cus who the hell cares about the emission anyways, I have a fucking midpipe.....but I'll do that tomorrow, I am tired and fucking exhausted (I blame the office job)

I know, thread useless without pics, I'll upload them tmr

you're installing it all yourself?... careful with your fuel lines... we lost a guy to that from the NO2 group.

Taj - good on you for doing this . I await your results with eager anticipation .

Be carefull ;)

No LS1 no care













































heh, gl with the install. Which set up?

Don't die. Your comic relief on this forum cannot be lost.

It took approx 3 hours to completely uninstall mine the other day. That's the turbo, all piping, electronics, and reinstall stock manifold, cat, etc. There really isn't much to a turbo kit besides installing the new manifold and wiggling the turbo into place.

But you arent taj.

^ +1

possible epic fail archive coming down the shoot

cant wait to see pics!

Taj we need live streaming video! We want to witness this project of yours.

^no You Dont!!!!! Trust Me!

i think you should go with #12!!

the turbo it's self shouldn't be that difficult

but since I went with the almightly and retardedly hard to install Mazsport turbo, I gotta pretty much take apart the entire engine to install the injectors and APV valve (which I'm not by the way) and now I have a fuel leak again, cus I uninstalled the Nitrous, so now there's a huge gaping hole in my fuel line (that I put a screw in) and it's still leaking above 30 PSI, so WooT! time to get that 200 PSI silicone Fuel line steel braided!!!

here the pics:

wish me luck, at least my car ran home from my uncle's shop (which everyone was laughing at me the entire time I did my install T.T) with the bigger injectors and a 20 PSI fuel leak......I gotta say, this car is a tank :)

nice! keep up the good work taj. let me know if you need anything/short anything. will do my best to help. and give me a ride once youve finished

Wear gloves.

unlike OJ, taj doesnt want to risk leaving evidence behind after murdering his S.O.

^ I did :D if not I'd be dead

Woot! the retainer for the fuel pump never came

thanks alot mazmart! you ended up being the delayer (instead of mazsport, which I was dreading)

sigh, I'll have to put them in tmr then

btw, my car is still running, even with the bigger injectors

it just stalls when coming to a stop from anywhere higher than 4k rpm though :(

well hope i get everything done by this week end >.<

fail

it's all sheldon @ mazmart's fault!

lol

I know it was gonna happen but hey, at least it runs........2 more days till turbo is done!

Yeah, I know, just kidding.

What made you get the mazsport turbo? Availability?

--Jonathan

yea, availability

and what is your view on the Mazsport Turbo kit? Which kit did you get?
