LOL - Yeah, and while your at it, get some nice velocity stacks setup right next to them for your intake!

muhahaha

 

its the "you need back pressure or you'll run rich" crap im on about. i hadnt even gotten to the part about AFRs. glad thats being covered.

 

Not sure about heat, but I'm pretty sure any fuel causes carbon buildup, if more fuel is going through and not being burned, or being combusted elsewhere, it will build up all over the place, including your cat. Only makes sense, fuel IS carbon, oil is moreso, but fuel is still a byproduct of oil, should be some carbon in it..

I mean, if I'm wrong someone let me know, but I thought that was one of the major issues with running extremely rich, your cat will go because the carbon will build up on your cat, causing it to fail, causing unnecessary heat, etc etc.

 

i dont argue at all that fuel burning produces carbon, but i tihnk in comparison to the injected oil burning its insignificant. How often have you heard of a piston engine that didnt have oil cutoff ring issues, suffering from carbon deposits

 

Why are we rehashing the same stuff that has been discussed ad nauseum for the last 4 years?
There are whole threads dedicated to this stuff.
Books as well.
And videos.

 

Well I never paid attention to motors at all before I got this car, so it's quite often I don't hear about those problems

<3 Rotaries, there's just so much wrong with an engine with so many moving parts! If you have any fun with it, it's going to pop :|

 

Just amazing.

I guess fighting this sort of ignorance is a losing battle.

 

lol i think there is some misunderstanding going on here, but its still funny

 

I'm talking about piston engines..

Suppose I should have put it on a different line from <3 Rotaries

 

^at least there was I beleive (at least in my case) MM has turned my thinking to the correct numbers for the correct application.....

 

At least I didn't start a thread asking questions about it, but posting OT in a lame failthread.

 

Yes.
But each post like this just makes the search function for things like "AFR" even less useful around this place.

 

The search function is already clogged with mindlessly abundant amounts of useless posts anyways, one or two more won't make or break the site.

You're MUCH better off using google search like, "rx8club should I redline very often" then using the search function on the website anyways.

 

^advanced search can help some with sorting some of this situation out! but you have to b pretty accurate on what ur searching just searchign AFR will give tons of threads not if you type turbo AFR you can break it down!

 

I guess my problem is I enjoy the sound of my own voice...

 

I can not wait to get rid of my 8. You guys ruin this car

 

 

Excellent.
Drive it off a cliff.
Oh, you are in Jersey. Never mind.

 

Give it away to some deserving, or trade it for a bicycle.

 

I'll take it if you don't want it.....

I'm with flashwing on this one i just like to hear my own voice also....well my e-voice haha!!!!

 

I took off my cat and its not louder. I have a cold air intake and the stock catback on. no resonator no cat. i shoot flames easily. I'm also an 04 AT 4 port.

 

I'm really not trying to be funny, I swear, but are you hearing impaired? When I went from my stock midpipe to a B&B pipe back in the day, I couldn't stand it. It's much better with the mazsport midpipe, too bad it is now linked with a douche bag....

 

yeah running without cat (on most cars at least) makes a huge noise difference

 

no I'm not hearing impaired. I still hear my intake screaming and the most noise difference i hear from the exhaust is a ricey rattle sound at low rpms then intake screaming at high. Sound is horrible with the stock catback. I'm looking to buy a catback so i get a deeper tone. Ive tried the hks high power catback before on when i was stock and it was about 2 times louder than what i have now.

 

No damage but someone did this. I think it was Cobb lol The one he made was for the Subie snack guys. But it can be used on any car.
