Yes, I'll try to locate them...but honestly the installation manual isn't so usefull as the supercharger evolved and not the manual, a.e., it is said to cut two of the MAF cable...what is no more usefull...

The reason why I wanted some photos is to help me being sure what I take for the jetair and metering vavles are actually the good one ; I don't wan't to do what I did with the BARO

so if please someone can do some photos (or videos) of there installation (specially the jet air and metering vavle...) ...It would be usefull...

 

OK, so I took a photo ... can you locate the jet air and Metering valves on this picture ?

because looking at Cam's graphic, they might be somewhere there ?!

 

The square (?) on top shows the area for the OMP vacuum connection, it is all the way down on the block and very hard to get to. It is not the shiny fuel line you can see easily in the foreground
The vacuum connection is on the rear side of the "distribution block" for the little oil injection lines.



The Circle (?) on the bottom shows the area for the Jet Air nozzle vacuum connection (1/4 inch ID line?) , this is a pipe-hose-pipe route that runs down to the bottom of the lower intake center two ports. It is also hard to get to; the other side of this pipe goes to a rubber hose that then connects to another pipe that goes into the to Jet Air nozzles. The pipe has a connection to the intake manifold bolt to hold the pipe in place.

Yes, the picture is blurry, but these two places are really far down.

 

jk do you have the RX8 manual? If not download it from off this forum--it has all the pictures you need--i will try to take some tomorrow also.

Yeh, the hose going to the OMP is located on the top of the engine and hard to see. Its easy to knock it off the engine during the instal causing the Jet air to pull uneeded air. Its hard to check if you have everything installed. I use the force when checking it but if you dont now exactly were it is its hard to locate. Its going to be one of 3 hoses that you disconected from the rubber section of your stock intake. You only have 2 to worry about since 1 was your crank case breather.

 

also : the hoses do have a coloured marking on the ends to tell you which is which . I had a diagram i got from the 'greddy turbo fixes' thread to work mine out . Don't ask me to find it again .

 

I got the 6 MT rx8.
Hope I'll find those damn hose

 

Do you have a vacuum hose connected to the oil injection distribution block?
Do you have a hose or plug connected to the metal pipe on the front passenger side of the engine, near the thermostat?

 

I only follow the pettit pdf file..wich was not that help full...

 

Actually, if you followed the PDF; we know the OMP distribution block has a vacuum connection to the Jet Air, and that those are "tee'd" to connect to the MAF.

The Pettit PDF shows the correct mods to the Jet-Air and OMP hoses.

What the PDF does not show is using hose clamps to attach those hoses, my vacuum hoses kept blowing off under boost.

Use hose clamps or at least good, tight wire ties on all vacuum hoses.

 

Here is my latest picture.

I seem to have issues with blurring pictures at higher resolution.

 

Anybody had issues with their air/water pump? Mine started blowing fuses every other day, then just stopped working alltogether.

 

are you around 60 000 miles?

 

thanks for your pictures.
try again but with different mode, for example, the first you took may be good with the macro Mod as you where near the "target"

 

110000

 

wow, Morkus, how many of them are FI...

 

no --no issue with the a/w pump here. its s bosch pump so you can order your own or get another from cam?

Do you know the part #? Or, could I possibly upgrade it to something better?

 

just google it and all kinks of choices come up

Jmk--i looked at my engine bay an a pic would be of no use
actually you can cap off the jet air line--since our cars idle faster than the stock one it is off little use---so to get it running cap it off.
are you ok with the other vacuum lines?

"110000"
So, it's 48 miles?

 

I had wondered about upgrading the pump to a variable speed pump, and find the "sweet spot" for the water flow through the I/C.

 

^^^ If the IC pump bumps the flow up too much there wont be enough time for the fluid to sit in the seried exchangers to cool...
Im going to be working more in the direction of Joff, by relocating the resevior and pump into the area that the VFAD used to be...

 

How many years old is it, there might still be a warenty with Jabso, call Cam and ask.

 

What about this one?

Variable.....
