this friday at the dyno day where jeff will be doing the tuning
would you suggest i dont drive it at all til then? where does boost start climbiing with the greddy kit? |
god i want a turbo... i envy you haha... btw sexy car too
|
Sux when you first OPEN it up and whoosh....... engine dies....... loss of power steering.....CRAP DID I BLOW MY ENGINE??? No, it's just a coupler that lost a worm clamp. reinstall while burning hands on Hot as FU@# engine, embarrassed cos it's on the side of the road..... Check and double check the clamps for couplers.
That turbo seems like the SR20 turb (or turd) can only push 5 PSI and could really use some ceramic ball bearings. I guess the boost bug will bite. |
wat.
|
Glad to see this project come along nicely :)

just wish the greddy could perform through redline... happily :ylsuper: |
you can run it to redline, it doesn't drop that much. it's still fun in my book :)
|
Sweet!
Thats fantastic, I figure a turbo will drop a psi or two when "outside it's sweet spot" still though, at the point of using a T3/T4 setup, the need to replace injectors and fuel pump, plumbing and adapters, apex seals, will have the wallet and beer supply thinned in a hurry! For an extra 60 RWHP the Greddy/Cobb AP seemingly becomes a great choice! One that makes us without it cry "me too"
|
greddy will take you to 6500 rpm at 9psi no problem and taper off from there as the aux ports open . Fit the blocking plate and you get to 7500 with good power .
In practically all driving bar full on track or drag racing the Greddy will not dissapoint you one bit . |
^just installed my blocking plate today. that UIM was kind of a bitch to take off. stupid bolts underneath the intake....I don't know how many times I dropped them trying to get them back in:banghead:
|
but running the stock greddy snail to redline won't give you a intake charge (heat) that will actually hurt performance?
|
just don't keep it there very long, lol

You may need to readjust your boost controller and lean it out a little ... |
actually it was running incredibly lean. i did one WOT run, and it felt good...but I was getting some datalogs for MM's calibration process for the AP...so it's not completely tuned yet.
|
so out of boost AFRs should be around 14-15's correct?
|
yeah...cruising
|
yeah like less than 20% on the accelerator pedal
|
yeah, you will be fine as long as you stay out of boost. it's hard though ;)

yeah i am taking it verrryy easy
i say if anything goes wrong with the way im driving it right now then it was destined to fail thanks =) |
Not trying to be a dick man; just being honest.
But as log as you stay out of boost; you will be fine. |
no its fine, honest is good =) or wait, was i being a dick? sorry!
|
I'm getting tuned this weekend too. Til then I keep it garaged as much as I can. When I do drive it, I keep it under 3k (closer to 2k) with as little load as possible.
|
yeah i just drove it a little while ago, last time i will be driving it until it gets tuned (besides to fill up on gas tomorrow)
i kept it under 3.7k rpm with super light load as well. i dont think i out-accelerated ANY car today haha. |
I want a greddy so BAD!... if every member on rx8club mailed me 12 CENTS i could buy one.
