Finally ventured to the FI world. Rohtech Motorsports built the motor for me. 95% complete. I'll be brief on what the motor has.

1.New housings and irons, 6 port (Builder specked out everything, micrometer , etc.)
2. Upgraded seals (All)
3. RA Black Super Apex seals
4.1000 CC injectors
5. BHR ignition w/10mm wires
6. 5558 Precision Turbo
7.43mm waste gate
8. V-Band bracing for intercooler and exhaust pipes
9. Haltech Sprint RE standalone.
10. Custom motor mounts.
11. Cable throttle to manual throttle body.
12. 4 inch exhaust
13. 2.75-3.00" Intercooler with piping
14. Meth injection kit.
15. ACT 6 puck clutch
16. Walbro 255 (possibly changing that to a bigger pump)

Its 95% complete. Gauges work, A/C works, and it starts without hesitation. The bad, the master cylinder blew and we noticed a small leak from the coolant tank. So awaiting on parts. Should be driving by Christmas( break in then dyno tuned).

Just wanted to give you guys an update. Oh his last RX-8 build,auto RX-8 that he made Turbo, Haltech tuned, made 420 WHP. That turbo was a small Greddy turbo that came with the Greddy RX-8 kit. 2 years later that car is still being driven pretty hard. Very hopeful on my build. I'll have pics in the next week or so where everything is nice and pretty.

 

cough hack splutter ..............." I don't think so Tim "

Apart from that ........................... Good luck with your build .

 

You can call Rohtech and speak to the owner directly.

 

Why would I ?
If you have been following these forums you will know that 400whp on a 6 port manual has been increadibly difficult to achieve . You would also know that to claim to have made 420 with a turbo that, on an auto ,is capable of about 230whp ,is just ....................................funny .

 

that's a decent turbo that will come online fast. The issue is going to be running the amount of boost it takes to make the power you want... I second all that Brett has said btw

 

Brettus thank you.

 

You are talking the guy who had holes drilled into his housings as a type of bridgeport by his epic experienced builder and thought it was perfectly fine to rev to 10,000RPM,

 

I'm shooting for 385 WHP min , max 450 WHP. I went with a side turbo setup for instant boost, thrust and throttle response. Can't guess on the psi until we actually dyno tune.

 

I was shooting for 300 whp.... Then I blew up my engine and bout a 2010 S4.

Now I have 300 whp.

 

This is true . It worked for a year then failed. The cause of the motor to fail was not only poor work on the previous builder but my SSV actuator was sealed frozen with carbon. Along with improper oil seal lengths, etc. my current builder laughed and said nooooooo! So it was a ambitious idea but failed.

 

I hope you are joking with this statement.

 

That sounds like the dyno turblown uses that makes 500WHP at 12 psi. I highly recommend you get it dynoed on a second machine before you go around saying you have x hp

Actually I am joking . Guy had a GT35 turbo 4 inch snout. Not that POS small Greddy turbo. LoL. I was hoping you chimed in 9k. LoL

 

You are still full of ****. You don't have to lie to kick it brah.

 

I am pretty sure Titan Motorsports dyno is pretty accurate. That's the dyno he uses.

 

Dead serious lol. How about we focus on my car and see what she makes. After all you inspired me with all your insults. Lol I went to a professional like you said all along.

 

You must be a salesman's wet dream.

 

She said the same thing....

 

You still have an auto though right?

 

No I'm 6 speed.

 

 

this is going to be EPIC.
and by Epic, I mean a total failure.

 

Subbed for results.

 

And why is that? Please enlighten us with your infinite turbo knowledge and tuning.
