Finally made a new oil pan, the stock 13bre sits way too low to the ground. I used a stock RX8(which is very shallow, but a very clever idea with the oil reservoir) and a 13BRE and mated them together. I braze welded it and it came out really good and no leaks!

Clever solution.

Finally heat wrapped+silicon heat wrapped my manifold. Too much under the hood temperatures.

Pretty good answer to the problem. Looks good.
How about a status update on how the cars runnig and performing?

dznutzuk

Sorry guys but I haven't driven the car in a long time, plus I severely dislocated might right shoulder so I'll be out until mid September

So you need a driver?

dznutzuk

Yeah, be my guest come over to Greece! Just put gas in-which costs about $9 a gallon!!!

JustinsFDpoweredFC

Wow that sucks all that work and you can go and enjoy your 8

JustinsFDpoweredFC

Ouch $9 a gallon Fail

Car is running pretty good, funnily enough I'm getting the same gas mileage as I did with the bone stock RX8. I'm not a big fan of the stock 6speed tranny-1st,2nd,3rd are useless. I have to get my FD transmission in it and see how it does.

It will do just fine...Speaking from experience ofcoarse

JustinsFDpoweredFC

You pulled some pretty nice Hp out of your set up and you have to love that your eatting up any more gas.

Glad to see everything looking good..

so can we get a final mod list or a final list of details on your setup? What turbo and manifold, what engine management, what injectors, etc

dznutzuk

Well if you read all the pages of the thread you'll see that the manifold was custom made with 2inch ss bends, the turbo was a KKK K28/29. I'm using a older haltech e6k since I had it leftover from my previous FD. I'm using the classical setup of 550cc primaries and 1680cc secondaries. But read over the pages and look at the photos and you'll pretty much get the idea of what went on.

have you considered swapping in FD ring and pinion gears for lower ratios? Would improve gas mileage too....

just use the auto diff which is a 3.90

I know this is a forever long ago thread but what LIM did you finally end up going with? What company makes it and where can it be purchased?

Thanks,
