Nice. Good AFR's :) I have been waiting for an update on your setup.

Chip and I are planning to tackle some more tuning next weekend.

You sir, have a hole in your plan.

10.5 is certainly safe

I highly recomend talking to Chip if you need any work done.

Does he do remote tuning? Or do you live by his shop?

Is Chip tuning Cobb AP or Adaptronic for you?

Pretty sure F&F is using the Adaptronic.

Yes he is semi-local (about a little less than 2 hours) and I am using the adaptronic ECU.

I don't know if he can/will do remote tuning, but his rebuilds are killer! He does a lot of 20B's and custom work, rotor plating and machining custom wheels.

Here's his club page:

His FD is truly a work of art, and you can see his start up from last week on the FB page.

Bump for updates.

Going to be selling this soon.....the entire car with turbo setup

i remember your build from a long time ago. did you ever get your issues straightened out?

This was one of the ones I was sort of rooting for since 99% of the Esmeril setups are failures.

but 400whp out of the box......wait was that turblown :eyetwitch

Is that a boost gauge from a Cobalt SS?

Never mind I see the autometer logo! :)

Nice PLX gauge too, what's going behind door #3? want more pics!!!!

I never got the car to get past 6k rpms. I just got married in June and could afford to keep throwing my $ at it for the past 2 years. Its been sitting, waiting to be set up. I could post the map that Chip made for me from Chips Motorsports to see if someone sees something, but he had the car for a while and without starting from step one (taking everything off) he didn't really have anything else to help with.

I will say though, at 6k the car screams like a raped banshee and has so much more to give....I want to see it one day, but right now the car is a 8-10k paperweight sitting around.

My DD is an e90 M3, so it takes care of my needs, and when its time for kids, I can fit them in the back without moving seats.

sorry to hear that man

Going lean above 6k?

Dam esmeril kits. It sucks cause the ones that get theirs working are ghosts lol. I need that kit sorted out as well. Car has to be shipped soon.

^ So does that mean that you bought it?

. . . . . . ... Yes. ... . . . . . I'm slightly more operational. But not fully. I'm leaning towards the fuel setup. Possibly on my installation skills.

So no love for RX-8 here.....




Its been 3 years sitting in my garage on wheel dolly's. I sold my M3 and jeeps. This is too hard to let go. Too much time and money into it.


One of these days I'll buy a new battery and get her started up and maybe take a quick spin before the fuzz see the plates are expired....of course nothing over 6k still.
