Terrible, just terrible

 

I have passkey 2. It didn't say the car was in theft mode because the alarm did not go off. It just starts for a second or two then turns off.
You may be able to get a SC for your PJ's. PM me on that.

 

if it runs for a second or two then dies....

that's just what the fc's do when the tid comes off.

look for a disconnected hose or something after the maf sensor. no check engine light?

 

The FC doesnt have an information panel that says "antitheft system problem, car may not restart" does it? Yes the CEL does light but so does everything else. The fuel gauge reads empty but there is gas in it. It's probably in the PZM.

 

I'm not sure if it is technically possible, but you may have hijacked your own thread RP :D .

 

You're right, from now on I'll hijack someone else's. :D :D

Besides, I can't wait to see what happens when the replies reach 1000.
does the program allow for four digits?

 

no clue.. but keep the posts flowing

 

like it needs any more damn posts UPDATE RICh DO IT!!!

 

Uh oh...its Y2K all over again...

Start stocking up on car magazines and printing out your favorite threads now; as soon as this thread hits 1000 the computer system won't know what to do! It will think it has 0 replies, and will cause Armageddon!

 

ya know its not the posts its the 70k times this thread has been looked at. i swear when i found it i didnt pay attention to how long it was, next thing i know the sun was coming up.

beers

 

I have a question, which may or may not have been answered already in an alternate form.

With AF, is there enough air at the top end, like around say 9200-10krpm, to extend the onset of the gradual fuel cut-off another 1-1.5k?

 

I believe the fuel cutoff at 9.5k is more to prevent the engine from overheating. If memory serves, the only thing keeping a rotary engine from revving higher than that is cooling issues.

 

I don't think I understand your question. There is enough air to keep going but what would that have to do with the fuel extending itself further. Also I don't think that the fuel cut off is gradual. If it was so then you would have a fatal lean condition. The fuel cut off is used as a rev limiter. At least that is how and why it works on other engines.

Realize that the SC is an airpump as is the engine but the limit to the axial flow is tip speed (among certain other things) so overdrive ratio has to be built to put it's redline with that of the engine. If more air is needed then a longer blade must be designed into the blower. This is not done by the end user.

Some people have claimed that for a bigger engine you just add stages. In fact more stages could do one, the other, or both add more air or add more pressure. depends on which end of the compressor you add them. Added to the front, more air and more pressure. Added to the rear, more compression.

 

I've been reading this forum for about 2 years now, even before I pre-ordered my RX8. I would like to say Richard is doing something that makes me want to finally post! This is the most exciting thing for the RX8 =) Axial Flow Supercharger. I've been reading this thread since it first started and everyone seemed to knowledgeable. Reading this thread, you can always learn something.

Thanks Guys.

 

And what the hell took yooou so long sheeesh....

 

I couldn't pass up having the 1000th post. Sorry for post whoring I had to do it

 

Jokes on us, the lead page only shows 999. No provision for four digits.
How about it mods get out the new program.

Oops, sorry they did. :D :D

 

Well it was 999 replies. It doesn't include your original post.

 

the porting thread is catching up. we're gonna get you !! :D
snooch--hurry up and get the ecu.

 

I hope I have an RP AFSC installed before this thread hits 2000 posts -- scratch that 1500 posts -- scratch that 1250 posts.

Back to work -- no more jet engine chit chat until we have a prototype installed and getting tuned. :p

My 8 is sitting under cover in the garage (15 inches of snow on the ground) -- I should have shipped to RP for testing

 

Send it, I'll have it back by the time the weather get better.

 

Will it be coming back with a complete AFSC kit installed? :D

 

Man.. Havent seen you on in a while. Werent you the guy that had a whole list of mods in the very begining that went on for ever?

I would be surprised if you dont have the GReddy turbo kit on order..

 

Yeah -- that's me -- I check in every day. No kit on order yet -- I have been patiently waiting for RP's AFSC -- though I must admit it is getting tough with SSR/SFR turbo coming soon. I am going to try to check on that one next week when I am down in AZ. As a former Aero Eng. student (CU-Boulder) I have always has an affinity for RP's solution. I also think an SC will be a better fit for my driving needs. I want to have a kit installed by the time it warms up here in the frozen tundra. I have been ready to write a check for a long time -- just nobody has been ready to send anything for it yet

Oh well -- I have been entertaining myself by collecting a few Panerai watches :o

My 8 seems happy all snuggled under the covers watching it snow outside. If she wasn't all detailed out I would take her out for some fun since I do have winter rims/tires on her.

Come on RP -- get busy :D
