I hope this one is a lil more detailed for you boys

Unless you use an aftermarket Engine management and had tuned the nitrous system, I would suggest to pull the 75 shot out and replace with 55.
75 will cause detonation. If it hasn't yet, it will.

Roycehansen

see thats the **** i dont understand how do i tune it and what is the management system

Roycehansen

no I dont have a turbo I cant afford one yet...but next summer ill be getting the stage 2 from Greddy at 100hp with the aftercooler

romycha1

To start off, if you are asking how do you tune, and what system to use, I'm assuming you don't know anything at all about it... this is not something you would want to attempt yourself. I would say the majority of the board would suggest the Interceptor-X from Mazsport. It's a little pricey, but it's proven well here. But again, if you don't know anything about tuning, it is really easy hurt the engine, if not blow it.

There is a sticky about tuning, you should check it out.

snipaz2420

The best engine management out there to get is the Interceptor X from Mazsport. They have a vendor section on the top of the forum where you can find all the info on that. I would recommend that you have it tuned by someone who knows what they're doing. where are you located by the way? Make sure you research the greddy turbo before you go out and buy because there are turbos coming out that put the greddy to shame. if money isnt an option go for the mazsport turbo, its claim from mazsport is 400hp to the rear wheels. they havent reached that yet but they getting close. the greddy just cant provide enough air to the engine above a certain rpm(i dont remember wat it is). and yea like rotorocks said watch out with the 75 shot.

romycha1

Is there a stage 2?


Also, there are not a lot of Greddy fans here. If you do a search on Greddy Turbo kits, people either hate it or love it. Apparantly Greddy didn't do that great of a job with R&D with this kit. Search around and you'll see.

And, I don't think anyone has gotten a 100hp gain from that turbo, not even close.

Roycehansen

Thanks for the help guys...so im guessing sticking with mazsport is going to be my best option for both a turbo and a engine management system...but i still dont understand the nitrous whats the difference between a 55 and a 75 besides the power boost. you are also right i know nothing about this **** so please keep helping me as i do not with to **** this car up like my last one

snipaz2420

the shot numbers is the amount of horsepower boost you get when you push the button so 55 shot=55hp. increase the shot increase the amount of nitrous being sprayed. if you look up charles r. hill and all of his threads you will learn everything you need to know. and actually there are 2 interceptor-x's in the sale section 1 for naturally aspirated and 1 for turbo applications

Roycehansen

Yeah i figured the 55-55hp and 75-75hp thing i was just wondering why going up 20hp with nos would detonate my engine

I also was looking at the interceptor ecm's and i seen that 2 of there turbos come with the ecm's and if what u say the ecm if i buy it buy itself is a different application ecm used strickly for tunning but the ones with the kits can be used only for the turbo applications? just wondering cause im about to purchase one for almost 2000 canadian...also with these ecm's does anyone know how much hp it well give me to the wheels on a stock engine cause there site only says how much it well give me with a Greddy turbo

also the Greddy stage 2 turbo does displace 100hp to the crank on a stock engine and about 70 on a moded engine.

rkostolni

Are you serious? Most people have gotten 100whp gain from the Greddy turbo, some have even gotten more. I myself am pushing damn close to 300whp. Since you don't seem to be very educated on the subject, I'll point out that equates to roughly 375 engine HP.

snipaz2420

im not really sure about the whole detonation thing. im a little confused with your question. are you asking that if you bought the N/A int-x and had it tuned would it work if you later wanted to use it with a turbo. if thats it im not sure thats something you would have to ask scott at mazsport. he designed the int-x so he can answer every question you have. just research it more before you spend that kind of money. just look up old threads on the int-x to find more info and if not ask around or call mazsport

I am pretty sure, alot of people are trying hard to get to 300hp. I see that you have many supporting mods, and that is partly why you are probably close to 300. But I don't think a Greddy Turbo Kit alone is going to get you to 300whp. I'm not trying to argue here, but on this forum alone, there are plenty of threads on this subject. And seeing how your post count is much higher than mine, I'm sure you've at least run across one of them. And don't assume that I am not very educated on this subject. You don't know who I am, or what I am about.

Roycehansen

I appreciate all the help guys Ive settled with the int-x for 2000 after looking at its reviews and overlooking some threads, with my current mods and it giving me the ability to throw my 75 shot back in ill be up at 450 whp and i dont need anymore than that unless i plan on buying another engine

mind if i ask how old r u ?

snipaz2420

royce you think that you will be getting 450 hp to wheels naturally aspirated? if you stay N/A dont be surprised if you dont get to 300. slavearms mazsport turbo type 1 with the int-x tuned by the creator of the int-x and the turbo is getting about 380 to the wheels. if your talking about that much horsepower you need a turbo or just throw in a 20b(three rotor). i could be wrong but this is what i know from seeing everybodies results here. heres the slavearm thread: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/slavearms-mazsport-turbo-kit-dyno-102049/

i want to see a photo of the burnt orange and gray leather interior.

beers

california style

yeah I would like pics too!

Roycehansen

Im 25, ill have pics as soon as i get it back from the body shop...and im sorry with the upgrades I have plus the int-x itll appr. be 450 to the crank not whp allowing me to get an extra 20 shot out my nos

also has anyone got anyinformation on duel port nitrous injection and im running a vex wet system with two 10lb tanks running into the same line cause i was planning on running a 100 shot but now i have to wait for the int-x

Red Devil

I applaud your enthusiasm, but I'll believe that when I see a video of your RX-8 on the dyno, and a supporting dyno chart.

romycha1

I'm not knocking you, but just to let you know.. 450 is a very high goal, especially going N/A.

Roycehansen

I totally understand where your coming from I was excited when i seen the original dyno. im just hoping that mazspeed's int-x is as good as its reputation so I can properly tune my 20b. and use the full capacity out of my nos kit. and i appologize again that hp is to the crank. I would be more than happy to get a video of it and paste up the chart i just need to come up with the cash for that int-x

romycha1

Well.. it's Mazsport, not Mazdaspeed... but who's counting...

and, wait... you have a 20b? I thought this was going on the Renesis.
