So Im going Turbo. 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.

 

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?

 

 

wow man you lucky bastard...gl with this...this upgrade could probably make up for your FAIL on the wheels

 

hahaha

 

get new rims first..HAHAHAH

 

With all that extra hp he's going to need new wheels

 

+1

dont call bs on me until after i torch flames @ you
TURBO > RIMS.... for now. I cant pass up on this oppurtunity that I came across
+1 RGIIs, Lespers SFs, MAG Blue RPF1s 18x9 all around with flush offsets/ no roll Wider tire in the back.... NT05's.

 

Mag blue rpf1?

Flush with no roll?

Zumn turbo on 20's?



Good luck man!

 

GL Start ordering your parts now though.

 

He will like a "mini me" of angelo's blue monster!

 

grats Zumn, good to see another RX-8 owner taking the plunge.
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.

 

Lol I'll make sure its on a shitty road with potholes and speed bumps .... put the odds of winning in my FAVOR
Thanks man yeah, once and right and GREGS as a mentor (with his experiences) will be of big help in this install. Im following KONIGS because he has Gone 10k mi and still running strong
It will be first but not yet, but I haven't had any struggling with starting the engine or Power Loss at all.

 

It actually did... I did a video a while back......and btw the Pic is in the first post.

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 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.

 

wow ricky...seriously?

 

Oh ****, sorry didn't notice the picture...pics dont show up on Gov computers :-/

 

^... mod list...

1. Turbo/MM AP Tune/ Dyno
2. STANCE coilovers
3. Wheels
4. Garage Queen with the exception of weekend quick drive arounds on back roads & Monthly meets (LAX+SBD+ SOCAL beach cruise+ SevenStock)
5. Body Kit will be last and before SS Authentic this time (RE-A Facer w/o fogs or Knightsport + ?sides? + Kenstyle Rear+FOG)

 

Congrats.....hope it works out for ya with that high of mileage.
