if you look closley at the Amemiya set up it also has thier Dolphin back box ect on BUT notice its pushing out 270bhp at the wheels!

Rotary87 09-25-2005 03:58 PM

That is awesome, a turbo in an auto, does anyone have the numbers after he dynoed? Hp in the engine and the rear?

DOMINION 10-03-2005 05:04 PM

Bump!....

CBrotary 07-07-2008 01:39 AM

i just turbo charged my automatic 8 i am guessing im the thrid one to do this since i know of only 2 other peopl on this forum who have im taking ym car to get tuned sometime this week ill let you all know what kind of power im looking at. but im already enjoyiing the boost in the car and its only at 5lbs haha =]

Nopstnz8 07-07-2008 02:06 AM

^^^Can't wait to see your 0-60 times and a dyno!

mdw1000 07-07-2008 12:13 PM

Congrats!

mdw1000 07-07-2008 12:14 PM

What kind of engine management are you running? Are you running the standard greddy kit?

tntmst 07-07-2008 12:39 PM

Please keep us informed.
Are you running the base greddy kit by itself or did you upgrade it any?

DavidR 07-07-2008 03:01 PM

Yes, keep us informed :)

09Factor 07-07-2008 04:13 PM

Wow. I forgot about this thread..
Rick is #1, I'm #2 spots 3 - 5 are up for grabs. This is Stateside of course.
Its really eye-opening to look back and read these old threads.

ronx8 07-07-2008 07:05 PM

i assume if a turbo'd auto gets the greddy setup, they must also purchase an int-x or cobb AP on top of that? why doesnt the emanage work?

CBrotary 07-08-2008 12:40 AM

im number 3! haha well right now guys im running the kit as is with the emnage ultimate. the problem with the emanage ultimate is that its tuned for manual transmissions. im experiancing some difficulties with it because of that i have occasional back fire if i dont drop into nuetral when i want to slow down and boost spikes inbetween shifts but because the emanage is limited to letting you only go to 5lbs of boost im safe and when i spike my boost it only stays at 5lbs but im tunning my car this week. my 0-60 timing has improved a lot. i think im deffinantly in a 5 second range and when i tested it i didnt shift any higher than 6k rpms. i will deffinantly keep everyone updated. btw though the greddy rs bov sounds orgasmic :boink:


ps - when i do my tuning im going to run it at 8lbs of boost :yelrotflm

09Factor 07-08-2008 10:29 AM

How do you have your WG plumbed? Are you pulling the vac signal from the discharge pipe of the compressor side (preferred location) OR are you getting it from the intake manifold (will cause boost spikes and compressor surge)?

Also if you are getting spikes in-between-gears. You may have teh BOV to tight. If you have the WG pressure line plumbed to the compressor side.

you want tight enought to hold boost but loose enough to release that boost when you let off the gas. The backfire is caused by the BOV venting. The AFR go lean -rich- lean then go pop.

Also Since I noticed you have a '05. how do you have the harness wired?

just some thing to consider if you havent already.

don't worry bro. i'll definitely keep you guys updated. rite now i just won an auction off ebay for used greddy turbo kit from Mazsport.:eyetwitch

laulongfei 07-25-2008 12:36 AM

I talk to rick a week ago and asked him how his RX8 AT turbo work, he told me that his AT tranny broke and it cant handle the power. I know there is 3 AT with turbo now, just wondering how is your tranny doing and keep an eye on your tranny, I really hope that OEM tranny will work with daily driving with turbo. Rick also told me that there is a place call level 10 transmission, and i called the owner said he can make your AT 8 to a bulletproof tranny up to 1000hp, price are around 6000 dollar, i mean if i have the money i want to make it to 500hp will be cool, that is a sweet dream isn't it. Beat the GTR just like RX7 compete with R34GTR.
So i just want to ask the people who have AT turbo what boost you have it on, and how is your tranny doing.

MazdaManiac 07-25-2008 12:47 AM

Threadsurrection!

The E-Manage will work on the AT with re-wiring. Ask 09Factor.

Even with re-wiring, it have nothing to do with the tranny right? what are the safe zone for HP and TQ for AT turbo?

09Factor 07-26-2008 10:40 AM

I wonder how much power Rick is pushing then.... I have spoken with him in the past and the flex plate cracked at one of the mounting studs.

Yes it is.


So i just want to ask the people who have AT turbo what boost you have it on, and how is your tranny doing.
9spi and no real issues. I don't brake launch or smash on the gas away from a light either.

The re-wire only changes the way the Secondary injectors are handled. The way mire are/were wired is an "intercept" mode. Once boost is brought on, the EMU takes total control of the Secondary Injectors.

laulongfei 07-26-2008 10:40 PM

Hey 09Factor I just want to say thanks for sharing, i also want to ask that how much $ you put in your car to get your turbo set up if you don't mind, what parts did you get for your car? any radiator upgrade display gauge or anything, i am really planning to save enough money so that i can get them install at once to save labor. Thanks again.

laulongfei 07-26-2008 10:45 PM

I think the person that help 09Factor install his turbo are a very skillful mechanic, i wish there is more good tuner in the San Francisco, i guess the good one don't live in the big city. SAD :-(

ronx8 07-26-2008 10:53 PM

07 AT tranny no good for turbo?

Well...all i can tell you is that, It's all about tuning it. Anything will work if its done by a professional who truly knows about your car. Then the next thing is $$$$$!

The 07 + Rx-8 is an easier canidate for FI. just because it's a 6 port motor there are many more availble maps

Hey CbRotary. Attached are the requested pics of the vac source for the boost gague and BOV. The other pic is of the vac source for the Wastegate coming off of the turbo's charge pipe.

If you don't mind can you tell me how much total you spend on your turbo? what kind of tools you have other then gauge and cobb?

09Factor 07-30-2008 09:25 AM

To date for AFR sensor, Boost and AFr Gauges, used greedy kit, + rebuild kit for tubo, new sillykone hoses, hi-flo meow meow, and some payed labor and tuning.

$3825.
Doing it yourself saves a boatload on labor dollars.

laulongfei 07-30-2008 06:46 PM

If your willing I can probably set something up with MM to get your tune right.
Do you have the AP yet?

Phil's 8 08-01-2008 11:22 AM

If anyone with an a/t is going to use Interceptor X, I have one for sale. Shameless advertising I know:)

ronx8 08-01-2008 12:30 PM

No AP yet, but i know it's a must.

CBrotary 08-02-2008 03:28 AM

That's the best place for the Greddy turbo. that's where mine and I think just about everyone else that has the greddy place the WGT vac source.

Do you have the boost controller on or off when you see the 'spike"? I don't remember from yesterdays conservation?
If it's on which it sound like it is, turn it off. Go for a drive and you should see around 5psi.

CBrotary 08-02-2008 08:40 PM

actually i dont have a boost controller in yet i had ordered the mms by greddy and mis understood it and thought it was a boost controller and it is not so now i have to retur it and need to get a boost controller but i want a simple boost controller nothing crazy. i just want one that has 2 modes A and B. what kind do you have cause i dont want a manual one and i dont want all the crazy fancy gadgets lol


suggestions?

thanks i was actually debating about that one too

laulongfei 08-04-2008 03:08 AM

Do anyone of you know what's the difference between RE-Amemiya trust turbo kit and Greddy's? I know they are the same except the computer set up. And according to them it can push 240 or 270 ps and when Rick's rotary install the greddy turbo on his car it blew the trans. Is that mean that Somehow the RE-turbo are more reliable and difference than greddy turbo that have to be adjust?

G-Gray dude 08-17-2008 10:40 PM

just to let you guys know. apex8 aka rick from (rick's rotary performance in pleasanton, ca) wouldn't do a turbo installation anymore on rx-8. the last time i talked to him regarding a turbo for mu automatic , he said he wouldn't do it and he doesn't want to get involved if anything happens to the engine.

MazdaManiac 08-17-2008 10:44 PM
