ZUMNs Turbo Thread
1 Attachment(s)
So Im going Turbo. :ylsuper: I will be following KONIGS install with the asseccories as he listed on PAGE 1 of his TURBO BUILD thread which are....
(LIST) I currently have 72k miles on my 2004 WB GT RX8 and no longer DD my car. I will be completing this build with the help and advice of GREGS who also did KONIGS install. Attachment 266472 |
Once I have the TURBO KIT, I will then buy everything on that list^^^, if not at the same time. Once I have all the pieces to the puzzle, the INSTALLATION process will begin. Beggining the INSTALLION proccess I will order the COBB AP from MM for Tuning of the New FI RX8. I will be running an RB race pipe with DUAL RESONATORS on stock muffler w/ aftermarket 4" tips for the time being (which I already have). Pics will start to be uploaded towards the end of FEB when I receive the Turbo kit Shooting for a completion date at the end of MARCH and hopefully in time for THE ULTIMATE SOCAL DYNO DAY and hopefully get it tuned by MM (If not I'll trailer it to AZ) :) .... Im looking into getting the RB oil filter adapter and water adapter. Any other suggestions?

grats Zumn, good to see another RX-8 owner taking the plunge. :D:
hmmm.... could this be greg's old Greddy kit??? either way, can't wait to see how this project progresses. |
i'll run you against the miata when your done!
|
good to see another taking the plunge - do it once do it right :)
|
have you done a compression test with those 74k miles you have on your 2004 motor?
|
Take a picture of your stock exhaust with the 4" tips, you can start with that....or you could just send me a picture haha and explain if it changes the note throughout the rpms
I too am going turbo as well...I already have all the parts...just waiting to get home from Iraq (1 week left!!) I don't know if I'm motivated to make a turbo thread though! Good luck with the build though, and look forward to seeing how it turns out for you. |

Oh great so now your car will be about as fast as all of us who drive Manuals :)

^ but more torque No? Faster acceleration .... I'm hoping a bit faster than MTs... with NA mods :uhh: still reading a lot more on the subject, but its for sure in the works :).
TILT- blue rpf1s or black like TOPGEAR 8 on NT05's › AZENIS... better wet traction. http://tracktostreet.com/wp-content/...2009/12/11.jpg |
