I wouldn't mess with intakes until you get the meth kit; Juan tried to mess with a cold-air setup and saw some insanely lean AFRs. If you change your intake, be careful and collect plenty of logs. You may have to have Dian send you a new flash if you change your intake setup.

Do you have a wideband 02 setup? Us florida owners like the AEM UEGO (myself, marsredr100, and Rote8 have it).

Hey Juan when you get a chance would you mind posting a close up of your engine damper....
Everywhere I look for it, its designated for 06-08's I'm thinking it will fit an 04 but just wanted to see if there were any little nuasances that I should look out for...
apppreciate it.

the engine damper will fit---DONT mess with the intake without proper monitoring tools--it takes only just a tad to get the tune all out of wack and the end result may not be want you want. no screens, no increase in length, nothing---! the tune has to be apples to apples--if you change anything about the intake other than the filter=== the tune will have to be changed also. Meth kit is not iron clad guarantee--although it helps one hell of a lot.

It will fit cuz mine is a 2004. See attached installation instructions. However, you will have to modify the bottom hole of the engine bracket per my drawing. That is because you cannot remove the bottom bolt due to the blower mount interference. I solved that by loosening the bolt and sliding the damper engine mount in between. Also, I mounted the damper bar backwards so that the damper does not sit in front of the alternator (a major heat source). I had to file a small amount of the provided strut bracket in other to accomplish that. I will post pictures on Sunday cuz I’m working 14 hours shift work until Sat night.

Thanks again Juan--i am headed there.
I am going to speak with Moon about the fuel starvation/cut issue. I know I have a fix--but it involves a little work, there are questionable fixs/therorys that i have formulated also--but those i am not absoulutely positive about.
anyone else interested? I think i am the only one tracking and if you are not tracking then you may not have this problem.

I'm interested in a solution so if I ever have the problem I'll know how to fix it. I'm working on getting others interested in the fuel surge tank idea so perhaps it will get solved in the end.

sure fix involes a surge tank thanks for the idea.
the trick is installing one and keeping it a non return system from the engine and keeping all safety features plus cold/warm start ups.
other possible fixes are just therories.
Check out my post in the Georgia RX8 forum--its long and I dont want to re type it here.

Just looked it up, it is an Eaton. I was looking at flow rate not brand. Its a 2.1 vs the 1.7 in the kits.

You can run ~13psi of boost on a MP90 for the 6 port engine and still be within Eaton's redline. That GT500 unit is most likely a 112. Either way, dimensions and snout on that GT500 unit would be difficult to package under the hood.

My guess is install an external oil tap for the current Autorotor units you guys have and spin the current unit to get to StageIII levels. The efficiency would probably be about the same as is on MP series from Eaton.
