I could care less about your decision to use that particular engine setup though I personally would choose an FD3 over it, but I was just curious to know what makes you think this is your personal domain to dictate how or why people respond to a public forum internet thread? Everybody here has as much right to be a jerk or @sshole to make a post similar to your own. Nobody here neccessarilly wants to hear it from you either and they have just as much right to post their thoughts here as you do.

Otherwise good luck with your project.

 

just as a side note Team....your posts taste better in the morning

 

It's a public forum so everybody is entitled to voice their opinions, i just can't stand it when people start talking crap to other people just for tryin to get a lil help. Everybody has to start somewhere and some of the people on here act like they're god cuz they know a lot but they started off in our shoes one day not knowing much either. I'm a Subaru guy and everybody on nasioc is always more than willing to help and they're very respectful. I agree with you on the fd3, it would've been nice to drop one in with a single turbo set up but we got what we could with our budget.

 

Gonna get started again here in a few hours and find out if I gotta cut out the firewall or if we get lucky and its just a tight fit. Either way I gotta fab up a new mount for the throttle cable. It was mounted to the intake manifold which would've hit the firewall for sure so I'm gonna relocate it somewhere near the oil filter and invert it and flip the throttle lever so that it'll still pull in the correct direction.

 

I was just pointing out that if you don't want a thread to go in a certain direction then the last thing you should do is post it up and in that manner as well because all you are doing is opening yourself up for making it part of the discussion. If somebody posts something you don't like or want to avoid then your best line of defense is just to ignore it. It's really that simple but by and large most people are too stupid to ever comprehend this.

 

yesterday was salty........today is sweet

 

damnit I just realized your car is a Ti....bastard now I wont be the only one

 

Everybody that I've talked to on here so far have been pretty helpful and respectful. I've just ran across some pretty bad comments on other threads that were pretty harsh. Another reason we decided against the fd3 is the fact that you HAVE to cut the firewall for it to clear but we soon found out we have the same issue with the turboII.

 

Got a few pics posted on my profile, not too sure how to post them in the thread yet...

 

^Not true
You don't HAVE to cut the firewall with a REW swap.
Xcessive FD LIM is how it's done..... but there's more than one way to skin a cat. G/L

post some pics.

 

Even if we're using the stock rx8 trans.?

 

^yes

 

Thats great news! Reading your signature im guessing you've done this before? If so, was it the turboII? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

 

Found another thread on here from a few years back about a guy from South Africa that did the exact same thing we're doing. He posted a few pics so i found out we dont have to cut the firewall!!! Just gotta modify/fabricate motor mounts and we'll be dropping her in this Saturday!

 

Excellent!

were you able to find any info on the power FC?

 

Yes, you just gotta search. Lots of info on this forum.

G/L

 

looks great!

 

What looks great?

 

The progress, should turn out awesome.

 

The pics on his profile, I think... I dunno.

 

Sounds good--i have been lurking
How do you plan on feeding air to this beast?

 

Firecran is right, you don't need to cut the firewall(for any 13b engine), you don't need to cut the subframe for any 13b engine(only for a 20b). You can use any transmission you want from any rotary series platform. You should really do some studying and research...

 

+1 to dznutzuk, the point of staying with a 13b is that you dont have to chop anything. Also you should definitely check out his transmission solution.

 

any updates?
going to put a s4 13bt in my bros rx8 soon

 

why don't you just put the stock turbo on the rx8's engine, manifold fab seems easier to me
