so.... my friends tell me when i want things done right, do it myself. so that's what i'll do. but don't start on a snowy day...

to be fair, i had a military contractor who works on mine sweepers to help me get things started!

 

btw, does anyone have wiring diagrams for RX-8? I have haltech pre-made harness, but I don't know what to do with the rx8 harness.

 

Nice to see this project back in the works.

 

Nice, welcome back.


Oh, and you guys are nuts!!!!

 

Congrats on the comeback.

 

problem is that when i hooked up the battery like this then turned on the ignition with the main computer attached, nothing showed up. no sound, display, nothing... any suggestions?

 

He's baaaaa-aaaaaaaaack

I can send you the complete wiring diagram PDF: teammazdarx8@aol.com

 

just bought a toy. ok my washing machine is disgusting as hell. it's clean inside though haha. thanks again team! i e-mailed you. still racing?

 

welcome back dude!
Why abuse such a nice washer?
OD

 

Power up the other side of the panel..it will help

 

haha i guess you guys are all here. hey do you mean the other bolt next to my red battery line? i thought those two bolts were connected anyway?

 

I'd have to look...but I don't think they are...they have separate feeds from the battery I think??

 

there's a snow storm outside but this is worth investigating haha. i'll be back with frozen fingers. does the other bolt to go starter then?

 

btw, is patrick (i forgot his handle name) around? he's the one that used to buy rx8's and part them out as parts. i bought some harness from him but there's a big chunk that was cut away...

 

He has been on...G3tR3DDY2GR3DDY i THINK


I'm going to have a look at my car..back in a couple of minutes

OK:

Separate feeds from the battery....there is also a plug that is in the same part of the harness that connects to the plug in the corner above the nuts..need a wiring dia to trace that one...

How are you running the stock trigger wheel setup so your dash and Tach work??

 

just went out but my hood has about 1ft of snow on it. probably do it tomorrow after the snow passes.

this is promising. i thought the main comp was fried.
will post tomorrow.

i'm sandwiching the reluctor ring between the ac pulley & a/c compressor pulley. i made a bracket for the magnet sensor. that's just for the tach. i'm running distributer style CAS for the haltech. i have the florida guy with the blue rx8 with 20b to thank for this idea

 

Mechanical throttle?

 

yea i don't even know how to hook up the stock throttle control. i'd love keep it to keep the cruise control, but i may just run it by mechanical wire instead.

 

stick,

nice to see you back.. i thought you were in cali? snow, wtf!

beers

 

heyyy! nice to see you too. i was there for one year paying off all my loans haha. i took a fellowship position at my home program now, which means i'll be seeing winter for two more years.

 

toss that location in..

pm me if you need to get a hold of patrick..

beers

 

If you had the stock trigger wheel setup...and the MOP hooked up electrically it should work. I have a Haltech on my Renesis setup and that's what I did..I have a custom Hall effect sensor for the Haltech and the stock trigger wheel running the rest of the car. The wiring caused a few headaches...but it works good now

 

Hi Stick, Good to see you back!! what kind of haltech ecu do have? E11 Platinin2000.

Rob

 

hi rob! nice to see you too! i'm using e11 because i bought it long time ago. hey do you have the wiring harness diagram for the oem rx8 computer? i'm little lost on the electric wires.

 

Good to see you back in this after all the history.

If you havent gotten the wiring diagrams you need, send me an email address and i'll give em to you today. I have them in PDF and in HTML(along with the rest of the manuals)
