This is a very simple conversion. You can figure out cc or lb/hr from any injector. Here's a link to a calculator.

Most are rated in lbs/hr but really it is better ti use cc's. This is because there are various weights for fuel. The specific gravity for gasoline runs from .68 to .73 or therebouts. Those are numbers I came up with when weighing gas for dyno input. So without having an actual constant to reference back to it would be better to use cc's. I know the Magnetti Merrelli injectors are.

 

Injectors are rated in Lb/hr in places that use Imperial measurements. Cubic centimeters per minute is used everywhere else.

Thanks for the link, Fred. That's a good one for my bookmarks.

 

haha damn us and our use of both measuring standards lol can get real confusing..great link thanks for the find RotarygodD:D

 

Nice!! Thanks RG!

(After re-reading it, I probably could have qualified it a bit better, like"which are rated in lbs/hr on Fords"...)

 

Just came across this site looking for my next toy! Sold my MR2 turbo and was thinking bout gettin an 8 and turbcharging it...Anyway, Im reading ur thread and look and see u are from my hometown! Then Im watching the video and there u go down 70 towards my house!!! Quite funny actually. The rarity of the exact car in my area is funny to me: small world. Just wanted to share...now back to the video (stopped it cause I was in shock)

 

^^^ Welcome to the group. That must have been quite a wake-up call!

 

Thanks, sure was! The best thing of all ..... that was my same area where I used to take my 2 and rip it! Gotta love those jersey backroads! It would calm me down after the most stressfull day, miss it! Gotta do something about this. Do they make a white 8?

 

Hehe.. so you're from close by huh? Sweet deal.


And yes, they do make a white RX-8

Philodox on your site it has a link to download the install instructions, but it doesn't work, does anyone else have a digital copy? I want to see how hard the install is.

 

It's a 993KB PDF File - I have it

 

I'm sorry.. having trouble updating my site. Apparently almost every link is broken and not working.. ugh.. I'll try to get everything back up this week

 

Got the support tool, and hooked it up. Says my firmware is 1.42. Hmmm...well, dumb **** that I am I attempted to load the configurable "stock" GReddy map...and after I committed to clearing the old map out, decided it couldn't communicate with the emanage anymore.

WTF is up with this? How are folks getting the GST and emanage to uplink?

Thanks, Jeff...I'm sorry. I wasn't very clear (read: frustrated).

My current problem is the eManage can be monitored in realtime, but will not read or write any maps. So, my eManage is now cleared, and empty.

I'm running 1.13 on my laptop...gonna try cooking up a hybrid (Jap/Eng) 1.2x version and see if my car and laptop can get along.

 

I'm confused.. on the top of the greddy page under 'Bolt on Turbo Kits' it says:
(CARB E.O. # D-397, D-397-3, D-397-7. Contact GReddy Performance Products, Inc. for details)

My assumption would be that their CARB legal in CA. Which means they're street worthy applications. I e-mailed Greddy to be sure. The reason being is I live in CA where we get hit hard when put these goodies on and 'One tyme' runs up on us and makes us pop our hood. *sigh* Not to mention it just won't striaght pass smog and we'll to pay someone a kidney to smog it for us otherwise.. Anyone got any light on this?

If this was already disscussed sorry. I got to page 25 after trying to read up on it and decided to post it up after realizing there was 100+ pages . =P

 

That may be a blanket statement from GReddy on their products...but I have never seen any information stating that the RX-8 kit is CARB legal. In fact, there is a statement at the end of the installation instructions that basically says the following (if this paste works, that is):

"Important!
As of 12/30/04 this kit is not a street legal kit. Please ignore the label on the
e-manage."

 

Whew... :D

I have created a hybrid version 1.24 of the support tool (menus are in Japanese and illegible). The eManage and laptop can exchange maps freely now.

I went for a quick spin around the fringes of the neighborhood and noticed when coming to a stop, the idle would hang around 2K for several seconds, then drop to a smooth 850-ish RPM idle (@ 1.06 to 1.08v). I had the laptop monitoring, and could see the MAF voltage moving from .6 to 1.2 range...then it would settle down. (I don't have my CAN setup yet) When I pulled back in the driveway, the temp gauge caught my eye: it was dead. I pulled into the garage and sat letting the turbo cool, saving my run data. I looked back at the temp gauge and watched it come right back to life.

I have never had any gauge glitches or other odd behavior before, so this startled me a bit. I'll be tugging on all the plugs in the engine bay in the morning, after it cools down.

 

that happen to me once i think your car is not tuned right because i was having the same problem

 

What is the SST tool that the instructions refer to? And does it come with the kit? How hard was the BOV and Boost gauge install? Also is anyone running a boost controller?

 

I'm runing the profec type S boost controller.
We like it because is easy to tune it............

You will need something to hold the engine up since the right engine mount will be removed. No it's not included in the kit. They're probably referring to an engine lift (1st pic), but I used a high jack on the transmission (2nd pic) while it was on the lift, or you can use a regular jack if the car is on jackstands.

You'll need a shop that does aluminum welding to put on the BOV flange, then just tighten the 2 bolts and connect the hose.
The Boost gauge is fairly easy. Route the hose and wire through the firewall and then wire the power to it.

I've got the GReddy Profec B Spec II boost controller. Using it to limit the boost spikes right now.

 

TTT: Your temp gauge was going dead, too?

 

Thanks for the help. I am thinking about going with the Profec E-01 it looks and cool and seems worth the money, replaces boost controller, boost gauge, laptop for editing emanage and it you can view things like A/F ratio. I noticed a couple people like Mazdamanic are using it.

 

What's the difference between the greddy Type-S BOV and the Type-RS BOV
