Phil because Ray is rebuilding his engine, and he'll have his kick *** s/c ride back
Or me because Ray/Erick are going to come "throw sum D's on that b!tch" sittin in my garage :D :D :D
Gotta have fun - Ray and Erick are porting it, new seals and so many new mods that even I can't remember them all. If It runs like I think it will, off to have it dynoed and let's see where I end up. If Ray is going to do part, most or all of your work, you also will be grinning from ear to ear. Sorry for the hijack.

No problem with the hijack, I can live vicariously through you until mine's done Don't forget to post your dyno #s, it's going to be fun to compare AT setups like the MTs have been doing.

Ray is going to do all of my work, thinking about it makes me want to go home & leave work and drive my car around

I mean 300hp is perfect for rx8, whether its on the street or on track, I believe RX8 is the lightest RWD in japanese car other than s2000 or miata. And I think RX8 handle better and faster than s2000.
correct me if i am wrong.

It may be faster than a stock 4 port at but it does not handle better and on top of everything it's a Honda. A two seater Civic comes to mind.

Just keep in mind there will always be somebody with a more powerful car, no matter what you have. So don't let the people that tell you to get a MT get to you. They are just trying to get a rise out of you anyway

When you see that same person talking about getting more power, tell them to go get a mustang

.. right, back to the ol'

So over the past couple days I've got in the second oil cooler, a new oem 3rd radiator hose, the electrical harness for my blitz boost controller, and my blitz 1.3bar radiator cap (dont know if we'll be using it or not).

Still lots more to come in, I can tell my car is getting tired of me holding parts up to it, teasing it with offerings and not giving them to her :-)

"The typical" How true!

Aren't you the guy who said you love more work because it's a challenge? I'm looking forward to the Blitz boost controller, and you should be looking forward to installing it damnit!

If you want to split the workload 0/100 and just tell him what to do, that's fine with me Just make sure he does it right!

Is this the same fuel pump as in the 6MT ? If so, even with my upgraded injectors I won't be using as much fuel as the 6MT... so I guess I may not need to upgrade the fuel pump - Can you confirm or deny this allegation?

After I upgrade to the (2) 650cc primary + (2) 780cc secondary, I should be at 2860cc

I believe it's 2616cc on the MT. Of course I may be wrong - post back when you find out.

I don't see any reason why Mazda would have two different fuel pumps. Cost for one model is sufficient. No need to make two.

My logic exactly.

That's why we don't yet offer a fuel pump product. Besides, the factory fuel injectors will support about 320 or so before we run into duty cycle issues.
Good to know, we'll just keep it on the back-burner until the install. After everything is said and done I'll probably be creating a F/S thread on some stock parts and a couple parts I bought but didn't use.
