What are your opinions on the matter?

Your saying that the size of the tank will need to be one gallon?

olddragger 10-08-2007 09:27 PM

separate tank--check out mazsport's set up. i just ordered the windshiled wiper one to replace my oem one so i will have enough room to mount my aftermarket oil filter relocation bracket.
i would suggest doing a battery relocate, a radiator overflow air tank relocate and then line the bottles up for the a/w intercooler tank(larger one than present) and the injection tank.https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1191896833

Here's the dyno sheet from my SC install. Unfortunately, teardown had already begun before I could get a base run. My car is flashed, no piggyback at all. Before people start being critical, I agreed to be a lab rat. They are not finished with the flash yet. The choppiness after the 6th port opens up will be smoothed by the time the flash goes full production. I can say that the flash is working out pretty well though. I've had 1 CEL for Bank 1 running too rich and that is being resolved. It only did that in one instance and other than that. It runs awesome. I cleared it and it hasn't come back. My idle is steady and there is no noticable hesitation. The irregularities in my curve aren't felt in the butt dyno, but when all is said and done, I should probably expect about 10 more HP w/ smooth curves w/ the Stage 2 kit. The dyno is cut off at 8K and my rev limit is set at 8.5K. I'm still pulling past 8K though. It was typical SOFL weather, humid and in the 90's. Car was driven about 10 miles prior to dyno.

Well I went to rotate my tires and the lugs stripped. So since I had to get new ones I went with the Skunk2 light weight ones. Has anybody switched to light weight lugs yet.

olddragger 10-09-2007 07:32 PM

just make sure you use the long ones not those little acorns.
Sweet Pics jsk thanks for posting those.
the dyno looks good to me other than the mentions you said. love that torque line.
i bet that really changes the car:) Do you like 4th gear!.
One ? why the throttle body hose? You didnt do the bypass mod? Live in a cold climate?

Not sure about '06 or '07, but I'm pretty sure you need at least a Touring model to get the sunroof in the '04s and '05s.

Still looking for a car moon?

TAKE THE PLUNGE.....

you will never regret owning an 8 especially with a blower!! :)

Moon Assad 10-09-2007 10:06 PM

who said I was going to put a blower on, lol

Moon Assad 10-09-2007 10:38 PM

Why would I have him do it for me, im not in the hospital for major back surgery. Now its time to make some lets say, alterations, major alterations, youl see what I have in mind soon enough. I have a few ideas for my own up my sleeve, like for one, inverted coil brackets so you can keep an eye on the condition of them without removal. Youl have to see the rest as I go.

munche187 10-09-2007 10:43 PM

yeah you need a gt to get the moon roof. If you decide to go 07 let me know the company I work for gets the employee discount on all ford motor company vehicles

Moon Assad 10-09-2007 10:46 PM

I just need a new set of wheels to get my brembos to fit

It's just vented, not ran with coolant. The purpose? That's a good question. Now I'm curious to go follow the hose.

Thanks for the update, dyno, and pics. It looks like it put down about 260whp? It has a nice balanced power curve but looks like it could use a little more power up top. I'm sure in the coming months there will be a fix for that. Looks very clean, how much was your final price tag after the install and tune? Did you use the autotrain to get it down there? I'm in NoVa...gas to get down there must be a samll fortune. Damn, I use to live in FL until this summer!!! Also since this cold front is about to hit, let us know how it holds up with a cold start/running in the cold. FL hardly ever gets cold!!!

jskup1 10-10-2007 08:49 AM

It put down 266. Like I said, one they get the flash smoothed out, it'll be good for more. I drove it down there. It took about 14 hours. I thought about shipping it but I've read a ton of nightmares about it and how much of a hassle it is to get things fixed if they do fubar it . I'll let you know about how it runs when it's cooler. But, when it get's really cold, they car will hibernate. It's not my everyday car, so when it's crappy out, it sleeps. It did make me cry to have it on the highway in the rain though to get it down there. I'll pm you the price.

mdw1000 10-10-2007 04:20 PM

Wow - are they working on a flash for the 4-port 4AT? That would make me have to start thinking seriously...
