Looking at your pics. What all was reused from the Greddy kit. I saw oil pan, manifold, downpipe, exhaust housing, and intercooler? Did i miss anything else? Really interested to see how the 3076R works with your build. Making me wish I had kept mine from my old car.

From the Greddy Kit I used the Manifold, Down Pipe, Intercooler and Piping. I'm using a Mazsport Intake kit(Just the MAF tube and 90 degree bend that connects to the Air Filter), the piping between the Turbo and Mazsport Intake is custom, and I'm using an AEM Dryflow Filter. The Turbo had to be modified and the Wastegate setup is custom. |

Just a small update... Support Bracket for Intake Pipe, attaches the pipe to the front cross bar to keep it in place there's not much clearance so proper placement is important so it doesn't interfere with the front sway bar or eccentric shaft pulley. https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...ine=1357281421 Gusseted Intercooler Bracket, One of the first ones I made snapped while bending it because of the tight radius bend so I will have the gusset welded in for strength. https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...ine=1357281421 Piping has all been test fit and the tray has been cut to fit. https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...ine=1357281421 The Turbo and Manifold are back off the car, the wastegate bracket has to be redone for proper alignment and clearance, I'm going to have this done tomorrow. Once that's done and the last few little things are welded all I need to do is have everything powder coated and it can all go back together. |
Dude that tray is legit. Can your guy make one?

I can have one made for you, I have to check costs on materials for just the tray and check with the guy who welded everything to find out how much he'd want just to weld the tray. |
I would appreciate it, that would be awesome.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but on the Throttle Body coolant line, the coolant flows from the rear iron back to the thermostat housing right?
Just want to make sure I'm routing the turbo coolant lines correctly. |
It would be the same as the REW I would think. That's what I based my routing on and it's working fine.

Thanks, Based on that diagram it's the same as I thought.
Just wanted to be sure especially after reading the Garrett Water Cooling White Paper you linked me to. (http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...er_Cooling.pdf) Coolant should flow from the lower port on the CHRA to the higher port. Scott, check your messages on FB. |
Yeah my CHRA is different than yours as well so you should follow what they recommend. Your setup is going to be legit. Proper prior planning FTW.

When I was training in Kempo Jiu Jitsu my Sensei's liked to use the saying "Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance" and it definitely applies here. |

looks great so far, very nice detail and good canister set up!
It also looks like you removed the engine bay carpet/heat shield material, but hard to tell in the photos. |

Wastegate bracket was redone, notice the elongated holes to allow for small adjustments if necessary.
