So MM is going to be bringing my AP to the Aug 2nd dyno... woot woot!



I was wondering if anyone wanted to set up a decarb day at my casa? https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-mazda-zoom-power-engine-cleaner-engine-cleaning-seaform-142852/

Figure we could have a bbq and clean up our engines at the same time.
So if I show up can I sit next to you during the movie? You sat next to Zach last time....

You did not just invite David to a playground full of small children did you?

Remember what happened last time? With the cops and SVU and all that. Let's not go through that again.

David, I can grab some breakfast with you if you're here early enough, I just got some ultimate starting at around 12

That involves buying the Greddy kit and then their upgrade? I also like good customer service, even if I'm just a potential customer. I'll spend my money elsewhere.

how would you guys feel about a twin turbo kit where you have a small turbo for low rpm (ie. eclipse T-25 size) and a HKS T51-R KAI for 4500 to 5k rpm and up. As soon as the smaller turbo reaches full boost.. probably around 2k to 2.5k rpm a waste gate in the exhaust manifold starts to open and brings the T51 online.

That would be an extreme kit.

or make a set-up to mimic the acura rdx turbo anti lag idea, which would use, um, lets say a T04Z turbo.

I'd be hesitant about a twin turbo as a daily driver. If you're shooting for the racing segment I'm sure you'd see some interest... hit up some of the guys who hang in the major horsepower upgrade section.

The kit would need to be complete... turbos, piping, intercooler, rad, hoses, etc. I'm pretty sure you'd need something along emanage or interceptor x to piggy back since I think I read something about the limits of what a flash/cobb could do.

One of the better sides of single turboing the RX8 is that it loves the high revs so turbo lag under load isnt too big of an issue for the daily driver... but like I said, I'd bet some of the auto-x and race guys would be up for it.
