Hey Philodox, where does your boost come-in at, and you say you have 7/8psi all the way to redline, 7/8 psi from where to where. Just trying to compare to mine...

 

What settings do you have for your Greddy boost controller?

 

I have blown mine a few times now since I put on the turbo -- blown the coupler off the turbo that is. I even replaced all the GReddy connectors with metal clamps as per MazdaManiacs suggestion.

Over 1000 miles and no problems -- still need to get the tuning perfected however. I am set right on 7.5 lbs. right now.

 

My boost starts to come in around 2k RPM. I have full boost by 3250 RPM.


Gain is 5%, Boost setting at 55kpa. If i set the gain any higher, I get bad boost spikes.

 

On the Profec B specII, the SET boost is in %. So do you have that at 55 or are you talking about a differnt setting.

 

4+ months now since the 1st turbo installs -- and I still have not heard of any "blown" blown rotaries.

In the poll, 64% felt the RENESIS would go no longer than 3 months.

 

That is because the poll was largely voted upon by people who are clueless, not to mention naturally aspirated.

 

also probably people who go out and beat on their car, and expect everyone else to do the same, but not realize that most people putting their car under "pressure" (haha, i made a funny) understand that they are spending 4000+ to void thier warranty and so are going to not try to destroy their investment.

 

How many naturally aspirated RX-8 owners does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Eighty two! One to turn the bulb, and eighty one to lament that it'll just blow in three months!

::baddum bum::

Thank you, thank you. Is there anyone from http://www.nasioc.com/ in the audience...?

 

^^ I presume you are here at the Velvet Lounge all week??

Shouldn't the joke be:

Q: How many RX-8 owners does it take to install a turbo?

A: All of them - one to install it and all the others to flame each other about it on the internet.

 

hehe - all the others to obsess over your BOV. lol

If I string it on a chain and hang it around my neck, will that work?

Nope.

What if I weld it to the hood where the M badge is?

::sigh:: Nope.

Can I touch yours?

Yeeesh!

 

LOL, classic

if it wasn't true it be even funnier

 

you guys are crazy , I am not going to sit here and read about your stupid polls :o .. damm it I am going to be standing behind ... sucking down all the beers I can :D while you guys talk :p
