Turbo owners, fill this out please.
I think this could be a good idea if we, compile info about the RX8 and turbos from around the world. So, I ask you to please fill out/answer as many of the questions as you can. This is more then just a "How much power can it make" thread. Below you'll find what I think to be all of the best questions to ask. (I might have missed some) Cut and paste then edit please.

(likes/dislikes) Trying to get more power out of it but dont know what to do now. I have a spare engine which i'm goign to rebuild stronger and probalby stick a HKS TO4Z on it my friend and i are debating about whether or not we should get rid of the intake manifold with the flaps or keep it i want to keep it cause i think that is what gives the car no lag when you hit the pedal. need to get a stand alone ecu in but waiting to we build the engine first. the wastegate spring on the Trust turbo is crap so we put a stronger spring to help it hold boost better. even with a bigger radiator car has a slight water cooling issue. can only do a few laps at a time before water temp is too high. once the turbo was put on had to change my brake setup right away. car was not stopping well. |

Just torched some Rx7 plugs after 9k. Mazsport ignition solution, HKS Twin power. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles on motor before turbo - 33k pre-turbo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles with turbo - 9300 post turbo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blown motors - none - still holds 20" vacuum at idle, for now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reason / what broke - N/A -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turbo kit - Type 1 (low mount) Mazsport kit -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PCM/ECU - Int-X -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lowest PSI and highest PSI you run - Started with 7 psi, run 12.8 psi peak right now regularly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your normal operation PSI - 12.8 psi peak -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shop tuned or self tuned - Top end tuned by Maximum AutoSound. Has been self adjusted heavily since to account for newer parts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dyno'd HP/TQ (if you have) - Did a 320whp on Maximum AutoSound's dynapack, but I don't really want to use their numbers for comparison. Did 284 whp @ 6000 rpms (254 wtq) at KDR Perfomance (dynojet, 1.02 CF) before ending run. Car needed more fuel and spark plugs are toast. Will need to run again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuel upgrades - Mazsport Fuel Pump, Aeromotive Adj FPR, 650 primary, 780 secondary, stock aux injectors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cooling upgrades -None. Mazmart water pump to be installed when I am no longer lazy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exhaust type or diameter - RP Supercat gutted w/ custom resonator. Racing beat dual muffler exhaust. 2.5" seconds removed and replaced with 3" slip fit to get a full 3" exhaust -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cat or catless - Just the shell remains -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Driving style (DD/heavy foot/so on) - I boost a lot when I'm driving for fun, but 80% of my driving right now is to and from work. I'm putting miles on the car fairly quickly. I would anticipate a return to thorough use of the boost once I replace the spark plugs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average time under boost per day - If I drive 60 minutes a day, I'm probably in boost for less than 2 minutes. It doesn't take long to get to "lose your license" speed. If I'm on vacation and drive 60 minutes, I'll be in boost 20-30% of the time depending on the number of stop lights. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total cost (ball park) for turbo/install/tune - I plead the fifth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I enjoy the numbers side of things. I like data logging and fuel maps and all the mundane crap. My car runs very quiet (possibly more quiet than stock) and I like that. I run 275 NT-01s and have no traction issues whatsoever with a little bit of throttle control (crappy pavement withstanding). As I've grown more comfortable with all the stuff added to the car, I've had a lot of fun doing setup and tuning work. |

I love the boost and the tune is just like OEM. For a car this lite and the added hp makes it such a fun ride. After the catless midpipe the boost is much quicker and comes on around 2k. The boost default back to 5psi around 7600k rpm but I uually shift at that point so I hardly exp the drop. The boost will go up to about 9-10 just for the experience once I set up my boost controller. Right now it looks stock and no bov sounds makes it a great sleeper. |

Summit racing has some great formable, adhesive backed heat sheild that makes the install much cleaner. |
