please help
 

hi everyone i have a couple of questions i just got a greddy t618z bolt on turbo kit on my 2004 rx8 when i got it back from the people that installed it did nothing but run like shit it feels like i lost power my cylinder 2 is misfiring its running too rich i have a map/ baro sensor high input light on and when i hold the clutch in to come to a stop sign or red light it stalls and the rpms are all over the place from like 900 to 70 and back up to 800 and then stalls but it idles ok it only stalls when the car is rolling and idleing. when i step on the gas it cuts in and out and i stop getting power at like 7600 rpms. i changed the plugs and the coils i am geting spark to all four plugs, and when i go over 80 my traction control warnig light stays on and my check engine light flashes, please help i am doing nothing but spending money to try and figure out what the hell is wrong with my rx8

First error - Your shop did not install it right

Second error - you did not correct the errors before u push it

Third error - You did not "research" the Greddy Kit before you install it.

in short - this Kit came with "huge" amount of problems, so you should have "fix" all of them before you even bother to run it. Obviously you did not do that. So its time to spend some time and do your homework before u spend any more money on it.

what the hell is on your avatar pic? giant spoiler?

can anybody tell me whats wrong with my rx8??

I think nycgps did. Yes its most likely not hooked up correctly. With all your car's symptoms its very hard to narrow the problem down. A turbo is NOT a simple bolt on process like exhaust. I'm guessing its completly not tuned correctly. Did the shop you had it installed have any experience with Rotaries at all? How did they tune it? What EMU are you using? Its very hard to give you a solution without more input from you.

You basically walked into a doctors office and said I dont feel right, fix me.

i am using emanage blue

I've heard nothing but bad things with the emanage blue. That is most likely part of your problem.

That's not his/her car. It's an all fiber glass show car built by some company. And yes, it is a huge ass spoiler. I'm sure it's very practical on a track.

what emanage shuld is switch to?

emanage ultimate is a step up......but I would get the accessport from mazdamaniac.

you will have to get a different cai that measures 3.5" in diameter at the MAF sensor if you get the accessport.

I have the greddy turbo with the accessport and never got any drivability issues. It runs a bit lean, as I am waiting on new calibrations.

none. check your other thread. dont use Emanage at all if you want a truly good engine management. you CAN use Emanage Ultimate, but to do it well you need to rewire it the way MazdaManiac did and get his maps. But before you do ANY of that, you need to ensure that the kit was installed properly and has the famous "Greddy Turbo Fixes" done.... which i expect will not be too easy since you said this..

nah, with the amount of air he's gonna be able to flow with the greddy kit, he's fine with what he has, just scale it with the AP. Now if he was flowing more air, then it can become mandatory to use either 3.375 or 3.5 ID MAF tube

With the username of "rx8sunflower".....I hope "he" is a "she", but I could be wrong. :dunno:

Your car will work with E-Manage Blue if your car is a Japanese spec RX-8. Simply because they have much LESS restriction in their ECU than the US spec RX-8.

Anyway, if u keep pushing ur car at current state, next thing I know is, your motor gonna blow then you gonna cry.

seriously? i thought it was a requirement to change your MAF tube to 3.5 with the accessport :dunno:

Thats what I did anyways....I got the mazsport CAI when I got the accessport since it was a 3.5" MAF tube

would anyone know why my cylinder would be miss firing? could it be cause im runing to rich?

na im a dude my girl friend made this user name

we don't have cylinders

your tune is not right.....fouled plugs/coils cause misfires as well

are you running colder plugs? I run rx7 plugs with shims--4 trailing

yes i am runing colder plugs

i just brought my car back to the place and they said my maf sensor could be the cause of the problums and that its misfireing cause i have colder plugs is this true?

The MAF more than likely is a big issue at this time. Plugs should not be causing any issues.
You need to get this thing checked (installation) and tuned.

does anybody know if their are any shops on long island ny that are specialized in rotaries???

Ask "nycgps".

do you know any shop on long island ny that specailize in roteries

Weren't you just lipping off to him in another thread? Now your asking for his help?
