1 hahah I noticed that too, I dont think the function is restricted either way
2
3 mabe because its Photoshopped? , if he bumped the contrast up alittle you can pull that look off easily

 

I wondered that also but he doesn't have the Teins installed they are the NRG's

 

"Brown Soil"?
I don't get it.

Lookin good, CW!

 

Where is the battery?

 

The Trunk.......

And to the OP. Car looks damn good! Congrats on such a clean build.

 

Looking good, I look forward to seeing it the next time I'm at a AZMC meet!

 

awesome car looks good

 

looks great man!

 

haha, i like that interpretation a lot better than burns oil.

 

I love what you did with your bay!

 

Got the looks, and the speed! You have one very sexy car my friend.

 

Very clean man.

 

Haha, come on now!

Exhaust tip is burnt titanium, it's prolly just dirty, LOL

You should recuirc the BOV with any MAF based setup, but call me a ricer, I love the sound. And it only makes shotgun-style backfires.

No problem, man. I just stuck the battery connections under the front brace so they are hidden, and routed the main 1/0g power wire under the PCM case and hidden in loom. I hate seeing wires.

Not Tein, NRG dampers. I found that installing them like I did prevents the hood brackets some trying to swivel to the side as much.

Carbing AST, Blue silicone Samco hoses, and MazMart water pump are next on the list!

Powerball mini, works wonder for the Alt and other small places.

Rofl, thanks buddy! Now lets schedule some dyno time, beotch!

Thanks! Told ya the parts would be put to good use! Thanks again for the hook up


Thanks to everyone else for the kind werds, I really appreciate it!!

Better pics including interior shots and video are in the werkz, hopefully soon!

 

can you get some more pics of the intake setup? more specifically what components you are using and how its routed into the bumper. i'm talking to CRH about fabricating my MAF tube.

 

very clean setup. looks great.

 

Yeah, I think I might have some pics. It's just a 3.5" ID Vibrant aluminum 90-degree pipe connected to the K&N First Gen intake pipe (Part that holds the MAF), with a silicone 3.5-3.5" coupler (nothing fancy, doesn't see any boost).

I had to oval-out the Vibrant 3.5" pipe because the BHR rad so huge it takes up some space in the pass-thru. I just wrapped the piece in a shop towel, put a brick on top of the pipe, and used a hammer to give it some good whacks. The brick applies weight to the pipe and keeps you from denting it.

On the other end of the Vibrant pipe is a 3.5"-3" reducing coupler connected to a 2" long 3"-3" aluminum straight pipe with a K&N Ru5111 air filter on the end. This was the only filter I could find that fit behind the bumper. My intercooler is too large and too far back to drop a filter behind it, like the AEM setup requires.

PM me if you have any more questions, Nuke

Also added a quick-n-dirty interior picture.

 

Amazing 8 bro!!!!

 

looks great!

 

Very nice!

 

pics are nice, Dave. They heed a bum to finish out the gettoness of them.

 

Car looks looks great. What kind of power numbers do you expect with this kit? How much boost are you presently running?

 

Not really feeling it, it's an 8 so it's okay.


















Yeah right, that thing is gorgeous, man. Beautiful ride. I salute you sir.

 

Cool! I was unaware that SAMCO made hoses for the RX-8....I only see they are made for the RX-7.

 

Thanks man! You can dress up next time!

Thanks. Looking at right around 300-rwhp with 9~9.5 psi (what I currently run on the street). I have tried 12psi and it's kinda scary fast, and makes it hard to watch gauges and the road.

I did 202-rwhp NA and my motor has amazing compression so I'm hoping to be a little above-average with the turbo as well.

 

looks great man.
