finished install pics of engine bay and intercooler placement with front bumper back on.











intercooler visibility from the front!

 

muhahaha

 

Time to update you sig!

 

i refuse to update it until i get it tuned!

 

thats a beautiful sight jess...cant wait to see the end result once its tuned!

 

nice ~_~ cant wait till i put mine on, one day T_T

 

thanks greg, couldnt have done it without you

i hope everything goes smoothly. my heart did drop though when you sent me that txt about your engine...scary stuff but its a risk i have to be willing to take with this kind of stuff.

 

btw greg i sent you a txt not sure if you got it, just said can you call me later whenever you have time

 

yeah i got it ill call you when im off from work..btw you better take me for a ride in yours once its tuned...lol

 

of course man! ill let you drive it as well!

 

Greg, don't tell me about your engine! hoping for the best, that's all.

 

congrats on the 255hp konig - how does she drive ?

 

holy wow its nice

AFRs from 1 to 4th gear are wtihin the 11's, but in 5th and 6th it gets kinda lean around 12.3-12.9 so i wont be going into boost much in 5th and 6th yet...

but yeah wow, its amazing. gets up to speed so fast. DAM! =)))

 

Once again Konig, CONGRATS!

 

Congrats bro... missed the dyno video, maybe next time

now you need to fix your sig

 

great step in a good build, next up should be enjoying the setup while saving for a gt3071r upgrade.

 

Finally Konig!!!!!!!


LOL, I had to say it.

 

it was awesome to see it finally rip on the dyno...i have some videos i need to send to you i havent seen them yet too tired and lazy from yesterday

 

konig: awesome to see your car performing well on the dayno, glad to hear you're liking the turbo!

 

thanks guys

and thanks to jeff again for always being patient (or at least on the outside haha) and explaining things over and over again to boost virgins like me. i dont know what else to say, hes a great guy providing a great service for the rx8 community!

oh and greg yeah send me the videos whenever you can, no rush =)

 

255 is a really good result from the Greddy at 6 psi . do you have your dyno konig ?

 

i have it printed out but jedi has the actual files and i think he is going to be posting them up himself!

 

that's good but you should post one up in here as well

 

yeah, I've got all the files and they're all MINE!!! you guys will NEVER get them!


okay, maybe not..... I'll post them all up later today.

 

hmm update on my status

AFRs right after tuning were stable around mid to high 11's in boost

however recently my AFR's are going into the mid to high 12's (waay to lean..) under boost in all gears. im not sure what caused this to happen. any ideas?

idle is fine, car sounds normal, out of boost car drives fine and there is no power loss or anything out of the ordinary.
only thing i can think of that seems out of ordinary is that there is a high pitched sound that is only audible if you go towards the front bottom of the car (right near the intercooler). the sound is very very high pitched and only audible if your head is tilted the right way and you are in the right spot, not sure what it is or where it is coming from or if its even related the the lean AFRs i am now seeing.
