interesting.

ems choice?

 

I already have the Cobb AP along w/MM's turbo maps

Installed already is the boost controller, alky/meth reservoir, and battery. Will be installing my injectors and mounting alky pump tomorrow.

I forgot also awaitng my turbo bracket to come in and install is a go

 

cool, interesting turbo choice.. we'll see how it fairs.

subscribed.

 

Thanks, Yeah we'll see. They come w/a 1 year warranty also.

If worse comes to worse I can easily pick me up a reman'd garret unit

 

that's sick bro... cant wait for updated pics when you get building!

 

that's a nice list of parts man. very thorough. Good luck with the install!

 

Turbo parts all over the floor of your daughters room! Haha very nice.

 

that's a hell of a list you got there, can't wait to see this project come to life

 

awesome derek. maybe you can help me get the rest of my parts together?

 

^^^ yeah man definately. This has been quite a roller coaster I will tell you that won't even mention the # of times I ordered things, and finally got it delivered only to find out it was the wrong size (Yeah I'm talking about those damn oil and drain fittings) Overall it's been cool, just hoping & praying when it comes time for install everything fits like a glove

 

Nice man; looks good so far!

Now get it into the car... that part is fun.

 

did you fabricate a turbo manifold for it?

 

I too am interested in this same question..

 

it appears to be the SFR turbo piping

 

How much power are you expecting from this set up? Are you going to increase timing and run meth?

 

Good luck getting that intercooler in there, it's pretty tall so you'll have to either cut part of your crash bar or angle the intercooler.

Also you may need jumper harness' for the RC injectors. The RX-8 connector is different than the "standard" J-Tronic connection.

 

intercooler could fit behind the rebar. but i wonder how the maf setup will react since the placement of the turbo is basically the same as tdiddy's ptp setup.

 

looking really good i cant wait to see more progress, glad to see more boosted rx8's coming out

 

Jumper harness are you referring to the obd clips that came w/my injectors, I really hope so, because thats what I used and had to splice & solder.

What an exhausting day spent the whole day removing the uim and getting one injector installed Them things are a bitch w/out the right tools..and don't get me started on the harness. Went ou this evening & acquired some more hardware ( o rings, bolts, etc) and picked up a 1/4 socket wrench & set for all those damn 10mm bolts (that are so agonizing to get to) Expecting things to move alot faster now w/this.

The hot side piping is indeed from SFR

As for the IC it just so happens to be the exact same measuremnts as the esmeril so we'll see how that works out...I plane to mount it the exact same way right in the grill area...

 

My Maf setup will actually be a lil different, per Jeff's instructions my length of pipe before & after the maf should yield me stable conditions.............HOPEFULLY !!

 

awesome! good luck with it man. Have fun!

 

Well finished up the injector install today and got things up & running but looks like a have a small vaccum leak somewhere don't even no where to begin to start? Any Suggestions anybody? Checked and rechecked all hose connections.

My boost gauge is reading -12 to -14 @ idle and my maf g/s is 3/4 as it was 5/6 before. Car wouldn't even idle, but tuned for the leak and set my maf calibration @ idle down. Now it can idle but rough, thinking of setting my idle a bit higher but thats just masking the problem....

All suggestions welcomed...

 

well I should also add I accidently broke off one of the nipples on the purge solenoid(trying to get it off that damn harness) Could this be the problem? even though that nipple hole is so small(and I mean minute)
