Thanks, Erick, for fixing the problem and BHR shall reward you handsomely.
At least someone was around to notice and fix the issue. Not everyone is perfect all the time, you guys have a good enough track record to make a few mistakes here and there .

Just doing my job.




And for all you wondering about how much WHP this machine will make,,,, Stay tuned. It's going back on a "real" Dyno very soon.

I''m thinking it's gonna put down around 350 WHP. But what do I know.

Yeah the latency was acting weird on a few of them, I never did figure it out.

Tracked at PR on Wed. and it was 70 degrees. Would hit 216 briefly and cool down around 210. Mainly stayed at 212.

after looking long and hard at the cooling jackets and the way the oil circulates--i have come to realize that the oil temps are more important than i previously believed and that the cooling around the exhaust can be helped. A lot of people probably already know these things--but it was an "aha" moment for me.
Controlling the temps are critical in this engine ( duh) but also, controlling the temperature swings ( oil and water) are also critical.

You should move to SARXVILLE so we can design some weird crap!

exactly.
I really like oil temps under 200F on the return side. No matter if it is synthetic or not.
I also dont like coolant temp swings of 30 degrees F in just a few minutes of stop light driving. This is what I have seen on some others cars.

Hey SARX--I may grow that beard

It wont you need to install an aftermarket gauge.

I got to do a short ride along last night in the car. I'll let Kane, Easy, or Dondo explain what all has been done. But it was an amazing ride considering it was my first boosted RX8.

Well it's not my car. So I don't know the full details. I'm sure they will get to updating the thread. But all of them are some busy individuals.
