yea--did--i reinstalled the oem thermostat and just ran the secondary radiator--warms up great now-- even on 27F mornings! So far so good,

Jeff--I would just like to point out that most of the content of my posts did not mention any specific name--it is generic in design.
Backing up a few posts I can see some of what you said.

I got to stop being so damn serious. Frigging old brain. Time to suck fish oil

Most likely the route I'm going to take next year.

It's pretty arrogant to think that we would care to put up with a bunch of BS to get a !@#$ing breadcrumb of opinionated information from someone that we can get from someone else sans BS.

Anyway, here's what is important. We're making even more power safely with our supercharger setup:
Amen... stoked about this result!

Correct. Thanks for finding those. Prodigy and Guns N' Roses are both on my iPod. Chinese Democracy came out, and people have said that that will happen when hell freezes over, so maybe there's hope for you.

And yeah, all of us Pettit Owners had a check engine light until October of last year when they developed their own reflash solution. My car does not have one, and neither does the car that produced this dyno:

Nothing beats having to buy all new hardware to change boost, only to find out that elevation throws it off, requiring you to swap pulleys to maintain a specified pressure.

I heard it was the best thing since... a boost controller.

I like my wastegate. 0.2 bar spring, so 2.9 psi no matter what elevation with load. Turn the ****, configurable to any pressure I want instantly. Worried about overboost? Set the overboost PSI so that over X pressure, open the wastegate to bypass.

boost controller is also $300.

Are you kidding me?

Here’s a coloring book. I’ll keep you busy while driving your slowpoke NA RX8 around town.

Yeah, not kidding you. Even a base greddy kit makes more torque. Enjoy.

The pulley costs like a quarter of what a boost controller costs, and once we switch to this one, we won't want to switch again since we'd risk overspinning the blower.

Considering that the mean elevation here in Florida (where we both live) is like 100 ft above sea level, why should we care? Are you planning on moving to Colorado or something?

By the looks of your sig and your posts you'd almost think that your car's engine never died and you're still turboed.

Is it too much to ask to let this guy enjoy his accomplishment without a bunch of people coming here and trying to rain on his parade?

Yes, this is the internet. Of course that is too much to ask. Duh.

Also makes it hard for people trying to consider their options to siff through so much fickle bullshit to get thoughts from OWNERS when threads turn into ones like this. Maybe I'll just start talking directly with S/C owners instead of trying to get information in a thread named for it's owners.... yep..

fish oil tastes like crap--may have to add catsup.
never mind the hp--talk about that tq curve----errrrr what curve lol!
makes the car very predickable.

OK --may have found part of the fuel starvation fix quest(check thread for full explanations)
when you compress our fuel pump unit(like you do on the install) there is a overhang ledge in the front part(where little arrow is) over the can assemble itself. The flat side of the can .I think it is reasonable to say that that ledge will impede fuel overflowing into the can during accelleration/certain turns etc. there really isnt much space inbetween the top of the assembly and the can itself and the inner part of the assembly does not leave much room for fuel to overflow (as in full tank) into the can itself --at least the front part. You cant get rid of this ledge/overhang. SO i notched the can--in the front--between the two little plastic bracket hanger things(we dont use). This should open up the can so fuel can get in more easily when the tank is at full to 3/4.
This is only part of my theory addressing this problem.
External fuel filter placement is being formulated. I was able to remove the oem filter from its house leaving the regulator/venturi line intact. wasnt easy.
back to the show!!
