Demon,

The problem to try to bolt other turbo is space..........if you want to install other turbine it's better to make a custom manifold.

We're thinking on change the actual propeller on the greddy turbo..............

Look the "yo-yo" that is installed on the other RX8 that is on the shop.
My mechanic makes a custom manifold to install it.............

Interesting that he was still able to fit the turbo to the side of the engine. I like the PTP and SFR kits, but the positioning of the turbo at the front of the motor is really a turn-off.

I was originally thinking of purchasing the Greddy kit, but if 300rwhp is really its limit and there isn't anymore room to fit a larger turbo in there that seems less appealing all of a sudden. I was hoping the turbo would be good to 350rwhp or so. I will be curious to see if you are able to find a new compressor wheel for the T618Z that is effective. Good luck!

 

You don't have to explain it

 

They also modified part of the frame (or was it the firewall) to fit the turbo on that location.

 

Yes, I know this. I wasn't complaining. I just liked the way I could "hear" your voice through your typewritten words. It is cool.

Yes, this is the biggest hurdle in packaging.
The turbo I used is much larger than the turbo in the Greddy kit. Getting it in the small space without modifying the chassis was where I spent most of the time fabricating and fitting.

 

To install the G35 on the Blue one the mechanic modified the frame.
We can do this on my car but first we would try to change
the propeller on the greddy turbo, it's not expensive!

I believe this thread is more appropriate to post these comments and ask these questions so here they go...
I bought yesterdy my greddy turbo kit for last and some addons...In 10days max i ll have everything ready to install...
The complete list:
Greddy Turbo kit
Greddy Oil pan
Greddy Profec E0-1
Greddy Oil Catch Tank
Greddy Bov Type Rs
Unorthodox Racing Pulleys
Emanage support tool
and all the nessecary brakets...

I already have greddy sp2 catback,revi intake adn canzoomer midp-4 catalytic system,rp short shifter and ms flywheel and i also have ms clutch-cover but not installed yet..

From what i have read the airinix except that is very ugly,is very low quality and not shield..So as far as revi is the best intake out there and fully shield and soon teh ram air addon will be available, i ll try to install revi with the turbo and then the ramair for maximum hp with my parts...It can't be worst than airinix...Right??

When we will be installing the project,we ll have a guy who makes exhausts and he is very good and we will tell him to make a custom tube to start from the intake and go to where airinix was supposed to attach...The question though is in what distance the bov must be isntalled from the instake??

How all these seem to you??what the experts believe??waste of time or good project??

After the turbo in more than 6-7months(i must collect some $$ :D ) i ll buy coilovers(tein+edfc or another brand)and grex 6-pot brakes and mazdaspeed radiator...

Also the veilside bodykit(full front-rear bumpers-side skirts-hood)is going in my car next week so i ll have good airflow for the turbo and the temps....But what size mesh to install in the front bumper??With big holes for better flow?or with small holes?I m 90% percent over for the big holes in the mesh and i don't care for small rocks etc i ll be with my eyes wide open 24-7 to manage will all the coming rocks!!! :D :D :p

 

Which turbo are you using Jeff? And answer your PM every once in a while

 

I've stopped getting e-mail notifications from this site, so I never know when I have PM's.

The turbo is a Turbonetics built T3/T4 with a .63 hot side and a 54 wheel in a .50 on the cold side. Oil cooled with 360° race bearings.
All of that info is in my custom turbo thread.

 

I also have stopped getting my e-mail notices.

^i think everyone has stoped getting them

 

Isn't it kinda pointless to have the REVi (with or without ramair) and a turbo? The turbo is already compressing air to a fixed or controlled psi...

 

^Nope

 

Last thursday my car loss the boost from 11 psi to 5-7 psi,
I check all the rubber connections and everything looks Ok,
I finded a a hose that was moved forward and put it back on the original position
we drive the car but the problem of low boost still there..............
We put the car on the dyno to see if we can find something...............

Another of the hoses was broken.................
I really don't know what happens...............we're running higher boost
than the factory greddy setting but I can't believe that this hoses can't
handle it.

Be aware of this!

Manuel

 

Which connecting hose is that for?

 

www.hightempsilicone.com should cure your problem

 

Thank you guitarjunkie...........................

But I already installed a new one, of course of better quality!

thanks for all...i just print them....thanks

 

Anyone have english instructions on how to install the greddy oil pan???I ve got the japan installation instruction and can't read a word....please help me...
Saturday i am going for the installation

 

improvise! extreme situations require extreme measures

 

I installed mine myself using a 10mm socket and no instructions. This is about the easiest install that exists. Unbolt the stock pan, pry it off using a chisel and hammer, unbolt the baffle and oil-level switch from inside the pan and bolt them into the greddy pan, apply some silicone sealant to the greddy pan and bolt it back on.

Only remotely tricky part is getting the c-clip off the oil-level switch connector, but that's barely a challenge
