Can't confirm it myself but Fazda's info suggests that it does .

 

I'm a happy camper . Finally managed to get hold of a 2nd hand free flow muffler . Dyno soon

RX8 SE3P FEED Rear Muffler With 3.4

 

Better be soon I've been waiting!

 

I'm too lazy to search through the entire thread...

I am curious about using the RX-7 seals though...

 

Not sure why, old news now ...

 

Hey Brettus, have you made a final decission on which wheel is the best overall? In a nut shell loss vs gain in switching wheels.

 

Yeah - for most people in a street driven, occasional track day car, either the To4e 57 or 60 are the best wheels. Super responsive ,as good as a stock greddy wheel , with more top end .

If you want to go drag racing or more serious track racing the 60-1 is the way to go. Less responsive but stays within it's efficiency range at high rpm .

 

New muffler (Feed sonic SR8 ) is installed and I have upgraded the injectors and re-tuned to suit.

Now has yellow/blue/ uncapped yellow 380/480/600 .

Seems to be working well - no major holes in the way the injectors stage .


For some reason - the car is starting better than ever now . Seems to have happened after installing the injectors. I replaced a torn rubber grommet on one of them and suspect that was a vacuum leak affecting start-up .

Quite a pleasant surprise really - I like a rotary that starts instantly

 

Could have been a boost leak too!

Glad this is coming together!!

 

Thanks man.

Yeah , I have been chasing a boost issue for a while now . My g/s logs have dropped off significantly since i installed a new radiator a while back (from 400 peak down to 375peak). However - when I fixed the grommet the boost logs look just the same - no change .
Now I don't know if i have an issue still or if the issue was back when i was seeing higher g/s.
Sometimes it does my head in trying to think through cause and effect on these damn things !!!!

 

Thanks, I'm upgrading asap. Going with the 57 trim.

 

Excellent info, thanks. Would you say 60-1 is so little responsive that it reduces driving experience, or is the 60-1 normal, but To4e better then normal, if you see what I mean?

 

Its like driving n/a until 4.5k

 

On a street driven car - response is more important than top end power IMO. The Greddy with a 60-1 will spool to 11psi by 4500 the 57 trim would do that by 3800 - 3900 and be pretty much lag free anywhere in the rev range.
For bragging rights - the 60-1 may get you to 350whp ish vs 320 tops for the 57 - but the 57 actually makes for a faster car in all but a drag race.

 

Was a bit inaccurate, I was thinking about lag.

I have driven cars with approx the same power and cylinder volume(Toyota vs BMW turbo diesel), and it was huge difference in lag, BMW is excellent, while Toyota was terrible. This made me very aware of this factor.

 

Lots of lag with the 60-1 below 4500 rpm
Pretty much non-existent around 6000rpm

 

running into difficulty finding a 57 trim wheel to work with Greddy. anyone know where to buy one?

You still need to get it balanced, you shouldn't just replace the wheel. Mine is a billet wheel sold by Comp Turbo. Also, try contacting Boost Lab (www.boostlab.com), they offer a Billet wheel also.

 

You can put whatever wheel you want on the compressor so long as you get the housing bored out.

I am running a TD06H 20g 60 trim compressor with a TDO6Hsubaru STI 20g housing.

Turbine side is stock greddy...

 

Thanks. ATP turbo came to the rescue.

 

How do you like your setup? ? What kinda #'s are you getting? Any dyno sheets for reference?

 

I put down 265 on a crappy tune, the dyno was reading oddly though.

I imagine I will be putting down at least 300 @ 10-11 psi once I complete this next rebuild.

Dyno number aside the thing was fast as hell...

 

Yeah that wheel is at least as good as a 57 trim and possibly easier to get for a good price - forgot about your setup shady

 

Yea I like the setup, it makes boost fairly quick especially with the micro blue treatment. Holds 10 PSI to redline, don't need much else .

 

In other news - Dyno set for Tuesday 11th June .
