wow !
to port an engine you should be an expert !
not anyone can do such things !
I ask pettit's Cam to come to Guadeloupe with big pulley and every thing needed to control my car and make it be a dragster...I think I have to remap my PCM.
because last 1/4 miles my car was doing 15scd !!! awfull day !
something's wrong and can't find what...
people told me my exaust is too big and need more compression (I have a exotic speed titan RII without any silencer - 3" wide)

I invest too much in that car lol!
prefer sending my car to the us to instal a 20B with HUGE turbo.
Or selling it but I don t want to sell it under 25 000€ as I invest more then 15 000 ...

heck-- pay my way and i will come down to help you out! I would need to get a passport--mine expired.
your car should be capable of a mid 13 sec 1/4 mile pass.
It is not designed for drag racing---chassis and suspenion is wrong for dragging.
However it can be tweaked a little.

you know i have learned a lot fooling with this dang car.
I always took electrical connections for granted. I hated electrical work.
Now its not so bad, just takes time and you have to be patient. NEVER RUSH ELECTRICAL WORK. Its also not over after the connection is made. properly mounting and running the wires is almost as important as the connections. I learned in using butt connectors you dont just shove the wire in it (i can see the jokes coming now) and mash it together. Nope to do it properly its about a 3 step process. Stripping wires also--its not that simple anymore. Wow.
Heck they even make butt connector with solder already in them now and it is made from heat shrink already.
You have to protect the wires from from heat and vibration as best you can and you have to use the proper materials in doing it.
As a result of taking my time--no short cuts, sleeping on it etc-my car is now running smoother than when it was brand new---seriously. The engine now hardy even changes at idle when the a/c cycles.
I never would have realized how degraded the connections had become if i had not taken it apart some.
Little things--like the condenser wire (it breaks easily), the condenser connector was also mucked up, the ground wire mounting point needed cleaning, i had too many ground wires going to the same bolt, things like that. I bet i picked up 5 hp in the low midrange just doing this.
Bears looking at in these 6 yr old hard driven cars.

If you leave them in place after you get the entire supercharger installed, they will through off AFRs just enough that the motor will barely run, and the possibility exists that you will do this
for a few months checking your plugs, your wires, your seals, deflooding the motor, putting in fresh gas, and other usual RX8 'get my motor started' stuff.So other than that, good luck. Just sayin
That is funny

Just a little note that might make things easier - there are big, red plastic dust plugs in the intake and discharge side of the supercharger. They're a little hard to see, but if you look closely with a good light, you'll find them. A little tricky, but don't give up. There's no marking on them that says to remove them, so some installers have just decided to leave them in place because they fit the ports so nicely.
