Never got above AFR's above 12.0 but did see boost jump up to 13-14 psi. First thought that popped in my head was hmmm what's my wastegate doing ? Hit the gas again on the autobahn and POP---- game over. Sucks, but here we go again.........

Just have MM tune it and save yourself the headache. It's obvious javier20b doesn't know **** about tuning a turbo RX-8 so don't set yourself up for failure.

WTFFFF...

Dude, if you go over 10psi on stock internals your **** will get snapped up.

AFR's should not go over 10.8 under wot boost. 12 is like full retard gangnam style blowing seals.

Why would any of those guys tell you what they learned the hard way only to allow a half assed tuner to make money?
If he's really that good he should be able to figure out the 6 injectors' staging, the VE tables, the MAF scaling, the OMP settings, the throttle maps etc on his own...
Tuning isn't really that difficult IF you know the math behind it AND the way the stock PCM operates.
Guys like Team, MM, Kane, Kahn etc have an extensive knowledge of the system and some of them actually helped build the product you're using.
Why don't you just fly MM's *** to your place to get the job done? Get an engine from Mazmart and invest your money on MM's ticket instead of having to do it anyway, at a later date.

You could also just pm higgi or me to get a quote for a rebuilt engine and save some money on the engine\shipping to have more budget for MM's booze.

Btw the microtech is a piece of **** ecu with the resolution of a commodore 64. The race teams that didn't use a cobb had Bosch Motronic or equivalent ecus.

This sums up the entire thread and the reason certain people should NEVER be handed things that require some sort of intelligence to operate.

you saw boost jump to 14psi and your gut told you 'lets slam the gas again' ... good work.. thumbs up

I teach people in person so that owners can learn about their car and love for the rotary engine. The systems you have suggested for some reason I don’t see them in any record breaking cars. Now I do say that I’m not an expert to the people’s cars that I work on but I started building and turbo charging and using up to 500 shot of nitrous on these engines since I was 15. I’m an old man now. Learned quite a bit over the years before you where playing around with Hondas. So I will try my best to help a fellow rotary guy in need of help without him getting butt rape by everyone else.

Dude, I know, I was there!!

I noticed a problem, decided to hit the gas 'one more time to see' and boom.

your post summary: use in record breaking cars = reliability, stability, and proper functioning

you win.

Don't lump me in with Kane or Brettus. They have taught me, I am in no way on their level and I would never tune someones else's turbo RX-8 unless it was Shadycrew31 because he is aching to rebuild another engine.

This thread has reduced my faith in humanity to an unquantifiable level.

I sincerely hope this is an elaborate well thought out RX7club troll.

That's fine, I know you have a lot of knowledge man you just love to come out really A-holish sometimes... but nobody's feelings is hurt on this end from me. There are certain type of characters on every car forum and you just have to search and sift through the bs, and pick up knowledge when you can. Just wish you were more willing to guide a fellow rotor head! But who knows how many dumb questions you get.......

How can you teach what you don't know?

I am no youngster myself and I have a ton of experience blowing up turbocharged cars of different makes and models over the last 20 years. I have had a lot of successes with my cars over the years but I am still a noob in the scheme of things and I screw up often so I would never be so irresponsible as to make someone who doesn't know any better think I could do something that I can't. Blowing up you own **** is one thing, doing it on some one elses dime is just wrong.

But unfortunately I have seen it with rookie rotary builders time and time again.

I would rather you purchase a civic and work with Captain 20b to get it tuned and turbo'd.

Conservative meaning, definition, English dictionary, synonym, see also ' =reliability, stability, and proper functioning.
I agree with conservative tuning for dally drivers.

I am always willing to help those who are willing to help themselves. Heck I helped right now by being a dick and showing that these guys don't know jack **** about tuning a turbo RX-8.

But if you are serious and want to learn then you need to make and effort to learn all that you can. All of the info is here already. And if you don't want to learn or don't feel confident that you can (it's daunting) then just pay to get it done right the first time.

Rebuilding a Renesis is not terribly difficult honestly but tuning a turbocharged RX-8 is very involved process and takes higher level of intelligence and knowledge than the average gear head has. I consider myself a pretty intelligent person (shut up peanut gallery) and learning to tune has been very tough and I still have a ton to learn.

Yes I was, the fact that some owned RX-7's before owning an RX-8 means nothing.
