i m just wondering if the pettit kit is already CARB legal by now. Is it?

 

It was asked if the mileage was better on my 09. 320 miles 14 gallons. Around 27 mpg. Its been a while, what's the average?

 

I open the EFI Dude software full screen, then hold the "ALT" key and press "PRTSC"
This copies the print screen to memory. Next open Photoshop or MS-Paint and paste the capture into a new document. Save the new document as a jpeg.

ALT - Prnt-SC = Capture the image of the active window.
Prnt-SC (no ALT key) Capture image of the entire desktop.

 

Moon, when is the blower going on?

/You know you want it.

 

All great things come with time.

 

IF my apvs are not opening....dont really know yet. I have been thinking about this a little.
APVS are good only at very high rpms and since I dont like going over 7.5 K --I may leave them closed?
i swear the maf readings i am getting does not portray how the car is running.
She will break the rear tires loose in 2nd gear above 4.5 k(oem size tires) now that i have the secondaries worked out. SOrt--sort--sort-sorting things out.

ANyone running with apvs closed?

If you don't open the APVs, you are not using the larger injectors, are you?
As for the MAF reading, I suspect you are getting that reading below 7.5?
My huge MAF readings are at 8500 or 9K.

Try more water, less methanol in the injection mix, if you are running rich.

/There is always nitromethane to lean it out some.....
LOL (don't do that, or do very little)

 

rote8 i will post an efi dude screen shot tonight---thanks for the info of how to do that.

The larger injectors supply the secondaries --not the apvs? Least that is what I am thinking. A/f's seem fine.
I have been looking at some that have chosen to keep the apvs closed and it was surprising.

Found a little vacuum leak(on one of the lim vacuum ports) and retightened the belt as it was a little loose. Does seem to run stronger now--i will be doing more efi stuff and boost level this w/e(at work now --on "break")
Dang at this rate i am going to have to buy more orange glow hand cleaner.

I doubt it but you need to contact Pettit Racing and ask. Due to the hoops that you have to jump thru and the payments required it is not economical for most companies to certify CARB.

 

i have a question about the ordering process. i was wanting to order the s/c kit but they said that the product run is in Sept and Oct. am i able to wait untill then b4 i get it or do i have to order it before the product run inorder for me to get the s/c in Sept/Oct???

 

Generally you would order before the product run to reserve yours but you best contact Cam at www.pettitracing.com. It usually takes a couple of days for them to get back to you.

 

I do not know if it is the high temps of the engin or the collant pression...
but my supercharger coolant cap crackle all around.

got to order a new one !! is there a way to get a stronger one ?!

 

on the reservoir tank? same thing happened to me. See a few pages back, there's a link to a fuel cap that will fit.

 

The Pettit kit isn't available for the 09 RX-8, is it? They changed enough under the hood that none of the FI kits work on the Series II "out-of-the-box," as far as I know.

 

Moons building/adapting the kit to the 09, he has an 09 now and cant wait...

 

ok i am getting there---maf today 320 at 7.7 K and a load of 161 !!
a/f looking good.
Also I am not seeing the spots on the efi data screen that shows the intake valves opening---the little "dips".
Rote that alt prsc trick doesnt work for me.
I will try to figure out how to post.

John Deere to the rescue

 

I'm going to fab up a relocation bracket to relocate the omps. They only need to move over an inch or so along with minor mods.

 

think man THINK---THE 09'S AWAIT------:o
try to post some pics here.
1st pic is off my old intake upper throat--you can see the difference between this one and the one i did--see old oic already posted)
2- pic shows the two side by side--remember i also took the jet air system out
3 pic-- i didnt have anything better to do and liked playing with shiny stuff--so insulated fuel rail as a result
4th--that there is a true phenolic lim gasket---dont ask me>>>>>
5th- thats a pic of my center primary ports --pic doesnt do it justice--they were clean.

nice work OD. What will you do about the MAF scale as our MAF only goes to 350?

Slow but steady progress for the win.

For me it seems to be the MAF (+ the tuning issues it creates) that is the next block for progress to a true "stage III". Can you buy an after market "higher flow MAF" with better granularity? And then would that entail an entirely new map to be written?

Or What? PS Remember everyone..I know nothing!

 

i am not worried about the maf because i am not interested in going over 8K and most of the time 7.5 K, No need--maybe i can turn it into a diesel?
If other are then a rescale will be needed--I guess.
WHat I really am thinking about now is MAYBE not using the apv's
Mine are working--but since they dont open until a little after 7K then why the hell do I want to bother? And I think it was Brettus that played with this a little and showed good improvement in the rpm range i want.
Yep--sorting it out is the key as every car responds a little different.
Really pleased so far. This sum-bitch loves 3 and 4th gear--woo hoo
Need better motormounts that keep the break-a-way safety feature intact.

I wonder if my intake work is what took care of the usual secondary and apv "dips" that show on the data screens?

Where does a one legged girl work?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think Denny and I talked about the charge pump previously but a search did not turn up the posts.

My charge pump has bitten the dust and I am wondering if any one knows what pump can be substituted for the stock one? I would prefer not having to wait several days while I get shipped one. It does not seem to be a pressure pump just a circulator so there may be several alternatives.

 

you still want the apvs to open - they make a big difference in the 6500-8000rpm range . On the track you are going to be in that range a LOT . The stuff I did showed some gains in messing with the timing of the apvs in a FI application ....

 

Sorry, what IS a "charge pump"?
