Turbo RX8 video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn62nbokoG4
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeWVkdAni_0 Things left to do still is: Install new seats Install 8pot brembos Install lower controller arm ball joint (defect) Install new suspension And considering HKS DLI-II So, the videos are taken after a manual throttle body was installed. He's doing a base tune map since i have to break in the new rotary internal parts (not a motor swap). So, in about 2 weeks, I'll have the car done (hopefully) after breakin and **hopefully** a video to go along w/ the power tune and dyno run. Alex |
Bastard finally got it huh?!? Nice, congrats man!
|
whats expected output?
|
forgive me for showing my ignorance, but what's a manual throttle body?
|
a traditional throttle body, using cables instead of a motor to open the flap.
|
and I assume ours comes stock with the motor?
I didn't know there was an other way to do it except with cables... what are the advantages and disadvatages of each (if anyone cares to enlighten me and it hasn't already been discussed at length on the board someplace...)... thanks for your patience... |
i went w/ the manual throttle cable and not the stock drive by wire (not a throttle cable) because i felt when I was revving the car, there was this odd delay, enough for me to notice it. That was mainly the reason.

|
I haven't heard of anyone in the states actually having it.

Staggered Racing Hart CX's and MS Nose very nice... You might want to list all your mods so people know what they are looking at. Congrats...

Here's my modlist, i just edited my vbGarage: https://www.rx8club.com/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=1372 As far as the DLI-II goes, its on the hksusa site and I know of an IS owner who has the DLI-II but w/ a universal harness. |

that's weird wouldn't the drive by wire increase throttle response?

I'm pretty confident that the Greddy turbo can't flow enough lb/min to support 400whp though. Even if the motor is built for more, it won't do much with superheated air. The Puertoricans have already tried and found the limits to be around 300whp.
