Just wanted to share my RX-8 buildup and catalogue the events good and bad. Typical Greddy turbo kit install minus the e-manage add some bits and remove some bytes. I picked up this used Greddy kit (minus e-manage) off kijiji in Montreal from a guy who no longer had the 8 and couldn't manage the install when he had it. I was flying there for work from Toronto and I literally picked it up from the guy and packaged it in my hotel room and shipped it back as checked baggage. • Greddy TD06 turbo, manifold and down pipe • Piping intercooler and couplers • Sandwich oil plate with braided line • Tial BOV with V-band • AEM wideband gauge and O2 • AEM temp gauge for coolant • Adaptronic Plug-In Select ECU • Adaptronic SSI box for optional signals in Adaptronic fuel sensor • Adaptronic electric boost controller • Lo-tek center gauge pod (gaugepods.com) • New ATP 0.50 bar waste gate • Titanium heat wrap for down pipe • Gold reflect tape for down pipe area on car body • Greddy MM fix #2 for boost source to wastegate Stumbling along with the install in my garage using jackstands, a couple long nights but getting ? way there (no rush). I’m fairly good with mechanical stuff in my own opinion and own a lot of tools from my past profession; that being said, this is a real challenge for one person lying on their back. ........I'm learning a lot and reading a lot here on the forum. I’m not a big social media/internet guy so this build thread will be short. The plan is to run 9psi, stock injectors and new stock coils just to see how it goes. Then a tune in the spring by thewird. As the car sits now BB 2005 GT, R3 sides, MS wing, appearance package front and rears, jdm fog with switch, 10” sub box and amp, DNA exhaust, gutted cat, HSD coilovers, racingbeat end links, 9.5" +35 te37 reps, stock tires stretch. Summer driven and polished always....... Will be adding as I go.... wish me luck.......
