Drd8's RX8 Turbo Project

Hey guys, I am just posting my turbo project. The kit is a custom built top mount on 6 port motor.

T66 turbo
2.5 into 3" intercooler piping
44mm wastegate
p1 yellows, p2 and secondary uncapped yellow injectors
D585 coils
MSD 8.5mm coil wires
BUR9EQP plugs (leading and trailing)
Goopy Apex seals
ACT Heavy duty clutch kit
Full 3" exhaust
28x9x4" Intercoler
255lph Walbro fuel pump
Custom log type turbo manifold

The car was tuned by Brettus using MazdaEdit Personal. Dynoed 303hp on 12psi. It has been running fine for the past 8 months ( 20000km ). Currently on 17psi and should dyno again soon. Only changes made are more boost and smaller turbine housing (.84AR T4 to .70AR T3 )....smaller turbine kicks in sooner and is alot more fun on the streets.

Dyno video link below:

Thanks....it was a bit laggy until i changed from the T4 to the T3 turbine....now i can achieve full boost at 4500rpms.....which is much more fun than before. That dyno was done with the T4 turbine.

Nice, I know Steve Kan (www.kantuning.com) is in Trinidad tuning all the time, you should get in on one of his tuning days there.

Yeah, just a recommendation since on site tuning is always better.

Thanks for posting this ...... I'm sure you will make a lot more power on your next dyno just going by the logs .

300 for your first dyno was pretty impressive though - very rare achievement . Good effort

ekkk can't wait for results. I'm curious Brett. How close to the MAF ceiling are the closest logs? Just so I get this right. He's running 17psi on Pump?

He had to machine out the maf tube a little .................which raised the ceiling.


I'll let drd answer that last question .

Yup I am running pump fuel (95 RON) to be exact...and Brettus is correct. ..I did machine the MAF tube as much as I could to give me a little more headway...now I think I could hit 18 or 19psi before it is maxed..."hopefully".

oh this sounds so promising. Nice to see you getting this done on pump although slightly higher grade than available around these parts.

Just to clarify...95 RON is equivalent to 91 Octane in the USA...and...at first I was a bit concerned about the fuel myself....but "so far all is good" so I kinda got more relaxed about it over time.
