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 $$$$$!

 

all dem good for tarbozzz

just tuning

 

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?

 

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.

 

Cool, Thanks for sharing with us 09Factor

 

are you going to do mine then?

i'm willing to drive from socal to AZ =]

 

09Factor do you have some picture for your interior and your engine bay that you can share with us?

 

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

 

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

 

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

one pic of the engine bay. I think its his?

 

dave i just finished doing the t off tonight i winded up putting it on the intercooler pipe that connnects right to the top of the turbo because the turbo is in such an ungodly area that i was not ever goign to rip that **** out again lol so i winded up putting it as close to the turbo as possible and it worked good im still spiking liek one or 2 lbs but nothing major liek before but idk i know im atleast spiking 1 lbs of boost i need to get on my car more and see if thats all. thanks though for the pics.

 

You crafty lil' devil!
That's mine. it's looks a little different now but not by much.

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.

 

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

thanks i was actually debating about that one too

 

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?

 

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.

 

Ghey

 

 

wut so funny? : : :

 

Because Rick's position on the subject is ludicrous.

 

yeah i know

 

I hate to say but i am agree with you after seen so many sucessful auto turbo, I don't get how did he break the tranny.

BTW, its sad that san francisco bay area have no body are good enough to do auto turbo rx8. especially when there is so many resident is sf bay
