Daaamn this thing is 60 pages long. Can you guys tell me what rear-ends your running with for 300hp and up!
Thanks!

 

everyone that is using a renesis engine is using a stock rear end.

 

You were answered by many people in that useless thread you started before. As Kersh said, STOCK.

 

Thanks ***. In my other thread the guy said to look around in here. I did but all I can find in the last 20 or so pages is "whos peepee is bigger" so I stoped reading (trust me you would too). ktb.
Oh Ray sorry about your 8. Hope you geter fixed and back on the road asap.
Thanks again.

 

Stock - how many times by how many different people do you need to be told the same thing ?

considering running the diff from an At 8 however ....

 

Oh come now we dont want to be spoon fead let it go man. I got what I came for. Now I'm looking for some turbo options. See you around.

 

Bump for a Kane dyno in a few weeks!!!!

 

Lemme try;

IIRC, the RX-8 differential is the same one that is used in the FD, which is good to about 600 h.p. This was verified and proven by our friends from PR with 20Bs who had no issues with them until they reached that power level. Once they did they also bent the lower links.

When I was developing the BHR axles with The Driveshaft Shop, they told me that the CV joints in the FD were good to about 600 but the RX-8 has better joints and that they are good to 800+. Our axles will snap in the 400-420 range.

Gil, you wouldn't know what to do with 300+ rwhp, anyway.

 

Who is your friend over in PR??

 

Not "my" friends, "our" friends, as in fellow members of the RX8Club.

 

ya big tease

 

Do I hear "Web Cast"?

 

We shall see - I need to make some calls first.

 

if there isn't a webcast for this dyno day, we shall hunt you down in VA...

 

On another note . I finally was able to enjoy driving the 8 again yesterday after weeks of it giving me absolute crap . Gotta say it felt goooooooood !
I've detuned to around 300whp and 9psi which comes on nice and quick from 3000rpm onwards . Just driving moderately fast (in the 4000-6000 rev range) around some nice windy roads is an absolute joy in a car with a fast spooling turbo .

 

You suck. I miss driving my car.

 

thankyou

 

Lol.
How's the idle with those ceramic seals?

 

BTW - if anybody ever cracks the casting around the front dowel pin and wants to konw how to fix the oil leak without pulling the engine apart - pm me ....

 

Chewing gum right?

 

/\ I wish - LOL

 

At 1000 RPMS is isn't bad - still have some turbulence in my MAF that I have to work out and then it'll be spot on.

 

Sweet man. Looking forward to the dyno's.

 

Not sure if its been mentioned here yet (Been off the forum for a while and haven't taken the time to read entire thread yet), but Pettit is building Renesis motors with FD rotors w/beefed up seals. Thought you fellow overlords might be interested.

 

heck--- just do as we do and increase the idle speed to around 1100?
