I too am rooting for ya taj

haha where is swoope to say something funny?

why did I think you had an auto? Did you have an auto before?

--Jonathan

yes, I had an AT rx8 6 spd, then an MT rx8 which I destroyed, then this MT rx8 which is getting turbo installed

my friend used to have an 04 AT rx8 untill he changed it for a g35

Fixed

Subscribing cause everyone loves a good train wreck.

Seriously good luck. And I would listen to the man^^. The best time to fix your mistakes is as soon as your figure it out. Otherwise you'll just make more work for yourself later when you kick yourself for not doing it right the first time.

not to disrespect Jeff or anything but if I do reinstall the injectors, that would make the entire INT-X tune off because they are tuned for the injectors to be installed in this specific way...

and as of right now my car is still running, but I am putting the turbo on today so yea

Are you going to try to run with the tune that was on Tommy's car?

damn taj, good luck, get a video up when youre done.

Not that he really will...and good luck Taj............. but I simply can't believe nobody has started a $1.00 entry into the "Taj will blow this car up on......... at........o'clock." contest. :banghead:

that's the only one on the INT-X no?

I'll have to stay off boost and stuff, and log some data on the INT-X before I can get the car to you to tune, then you can pull the injectors and reinstall them or whatever the hell you want at that point......this is tiring and the turbo's heavy T.T

the turbo's heavy, lols

^ try holding it up and fitting the screws at the same time.....it's hard man!

You must really love this car if you are on your third one already. Were they all sunight silver?

--Jonathan

yes, yes they were

Ok all!!! the second day of the install is done! I finally got the Turbo IN!!!

some things I want to point out about the Mazsport turbo kit for all to know before they buy

1. The kit, is a complete kit, and by complete, I mean they do give you everything you need to install THEIR turbo onto your car...........unfortunately, this means that if you decide not to put in anything that they gave you such as Motormounts or APV cover.......YOU CANNOT FIT IN THEIR TURBO!

2. putting in a Mazsport type 1 kit means you will, inevitably RAISE your engine's height, I think by about 7-8mm

3. The APV will now be on the entire time, ALL THE TIME now with this car

4. the turbo is a huge pain in the ass to put in, I had to lower the entire front underbrace assembly to put in that humongous beast............

lol. when are you getting the tune? Dont want it to be too long.

PS: my N95 is awesome :)

good job taj!

I think the thread lost it's drama when I didn't end up destroying my car :)

well we still have today I guess, I gotta finish everything today :(

:lol: We don't want to see you blow it up, we just wonder if it's inevitable.......(and not because it's you!)

^ I think it's inevitable, not with me banging the turbo on every possible thing in the last 5 hours

at long last people!!

I didn't finish :(

being the UBer genius that I am, I forgot to connect the water and oil lines to the turbo, so I had to reinstall those fuckers

the past 3 days has been a fucking horrendous experience for me, god, I miss driving my baby, this civic is slowy driving me insane >.<
