sweet--cant wait to see. I will be showing my new exhaust system in 2-3 weeks. I think it will be worthwhile.
NYC PM me anytime. You are off to a good start.
Make sure you upgrade to the new bypass valve too. Not the old plastic one.

Out of curiousity what do you guys think running the MT-90 or 75W-90 gear oil in the supercharger?

olddragger

iTrader: (3)

dont know the heat rating on it--it can get hotter than a gearbox. viscosity should be ok.

figured so...should be fine I would think
I was changing all my fluids and had some 75W-90 and MT-90 left but, no shockproof

you slacker! Get some proper oil.
Have you gotten colder plugs yet?
Since your power level has gone up from what it was--it is even more important to get some.....slacker

Not as easy as you say... Need to find a petit supercharger first and they don't make em anymore.

dungeoned

Ive heard that it is available in the UK... I can get it from there,,, but is it worth to Sc rx8 or wil lit damage the motor or get me into daily trouble shootings etc

Wether you have problems with the rossers is a topic in a different thread. You will need to follow a strict plan and changes to the pcm of the car and fine tune it to have it fun properly.

dungeoned

so this means keeping it stock is trouble free,,, well,, what about swapping whole Rx7 setup ie motor wiyth big turbos and transmission?

dungeoned

ive seen video on youtube of an rx8 having 4 rotors... is there any performance company/workshop that can fit me that setup?

X7rotor

iTrader: (2)

Even if you swap a motor you will need to fine tune it to run properly if you wanted more power without necessarily putting in the tuning effort then modifying is not your calling.

Also if you have money for a four rotor engine why are you asking these questions? Even the comments in YouTube's page state those engines cost around the price of some used rx8s

I'm in the same spot as you dungeoned Tacmac are working on a Supercharger which I've put myself on their initial list you might want to see there site. Tracmac Engineering. There was one up for auction on eBay (used) sold for $1,800 AUS.

Looks like a cool SC kit. Good deal if it was sold for 1800. I keep wanting to throw up pics of what i got going but i keep deciding to hold off cause it keeps getting better. I put about 20 hours in over the last week, haven't seen anything like it, yet.

new owner of the 2nd supercharger that sold last month. I got kit from Geoff from Virginia, who got it from his friend who had blown an engine. When I first installed the kit, I had alot of vacuum leaks and used propane to sniff out leaks. One, I did not get the studs to bolt to the manifold, and I used regular flanged bolts, apparently studs and bolts have different clamping force. Two, I didn't notice a missing bolt behind the compressor that connects to the intake inlet. It was barely idling, 17.2:1 AFR, STFT maxed. Got parts from Cam Jr (pettit), and Geoff, resealed the compressor and finally got it idling, 14.7-14.8:1 AFR, LTFT +8%, STFT -1-2%. Shes looking ready for a tune from kane this week . For some reason, my stock strut bar hits the supercharger inlet pipe, maybe due to the filled urethane mounts which makes it sit higher. Anyone have this issue ? Thinking of getting he mazdaspeed one, looks to sit higher than stock but not sure.

yep get the MS one if you can find one and turn it around backward
by backward I mean put the spacers on the opposite side

impressive list of mods--wish I had that 4.77 diff under mine. Did you get rid of the choke point at the RB/midpipe connector?
welcome to the brotherhood--if we can be of help--just shout out.
Use race gas for tuning----- true.
Get colder plugs and WATCH the temps.

I sent this idle datalog to kane to get me a baseline. He didn't like my MAF g/s, he said there may still be a vacuum leak somewhere. I traced all the vacuum likes with propane and cleaned out the MAF, same results. What you guys think? my boost gauge reads around 15-17" at idle.
