RGonza, I see you guys are rockin' the front mount setup now, are you guys using the same turbo?
Swift, that's SEMA material right there!
Don't want to step on any toes, but I was thinking it would be a good idea to have everyone post their custom setup in one spot. There isn't a crazy amount of people going custom. I thought it would be cool if we're going to share, why not pool all the ideas together?
Just thinking out loud, what do you think?

the turbo is a garrett GT35 40r Dual Ball bearing.

RGonza,
Good choice of parts.....I am thinking about putting the same Bosch pump inline with the stock pump feeding the 044 and having the bosch pump activated at 0 psi.
I know this is way more fuel than I will need for my 60-1. But I am not 100% sure if that is the best method. I'm wanting to run the OEM pump for everything under 0psi, since I'm still running the stock computer and intercepting with the Greddy E-manage Ultimate.
Do you think it would be too much of a restriction this way?
Anybody interested in this fuel pump check out Jayracing.com,they seem to have the best price.

I did remove the stock one (Fuel Pump) instead i fabricate a custom fuel pickup to feed the 044 this pump is the best if you plan to run a turboCharged (Renesis)twins rotors engine. For a Ecu is best to replace the E manage for a stand alone ecu this one is much better and you have full control over fuel and ignition..The Greddy ECU here has a bad reputation of blowing a lot of turbocharged rotary engine ...

The turbo kit from greddy is nice with the exepction of the E manage ECU that's why a lot of customer blowns their engine with this kit!!!! if you want to runs a reliable turbo with renesis the 1st step is move to stand alone ECU and take full control of fuel and ignition we runs in the island 18 of boost without no detonation problems or apex seals problems..

WHere did you get the manifold and turbo brackets made at. I have a custom turbo on a greddy manifold and I am dying to get it out of that wheel well area.
thanks,
chris

I think that chris is from Puerto Rico.................
if I can see chrisRX8PR probably I recognize him...........................
His friend cheo is from my town, Manati
I know cheo we talk very often.
The blue Rx8 maked 396 hp with a different turbine and different set up,
now is on rgonza hands and we buyed a bigger turbine (GT35/40R) and other upgrades. rgonza know a lot about electronic and knows to set up different ECU's so he would make a great set up for this car.
silverwolf,
here is a picture of my car with a Gt35/40R set up,
with that one the car maked 328 hp at the wheel that is near 400 hp at the flywheel.

Yo estudie con Cheo en el Colegio de Mayaguez y me pasaba en la casa de el en Ciales/Manati. Conozco bien a galdi y he visto tu carro par de veces. No se si me conoces en persona pero cuando estaba en PR iba mucho al taller de Galdi. Quiza no me conoces pq en ese momento no tenia un rotor, tenia un 3000gtVR4 rojo con una sola turbina(60-1). Ahora estoy en Minnesota, me compre un RX8 y las fotos al principio de este thread son las del kit q estoy fabricando en mi casa por aca. Mi email es christian@c-axis.com si tienes mas fotos de tu carro con el renesis turbo enviamelas si no es problema. Gracias y mucho saludos.
And since I want everyone else to understand
"Manuel,
I went to college with Cheo at Mayaguez and would frequent his house in Ciales/Manati very often. I know Galdi(Psiquiatra) very well and have seen your car a couple of times before. I don't know if you know me in person but when I was in PR I would visit Galdi's shop frecuently. Maybee you dont remember me because at the time I didn't have a rotary, I had a red 3000gtVR4 with a single 60-1 turbo. Now I'm in minnesota, I bought a RX8 and the pics at the beggining this thread are of the turbo assembly I'm fabricating at home. My email is christian@c-axis.com if you have any more pictures of your car with the turbo renensis in it send them my way if it isn't a problem. Thanks and grettings"
