Yep - that was me responsible for that. The video bit, not losing torque - I'm responsible for finding the torque we all need

It sounds more like a jet in the video, not at all like the screw. As an axial flow should sound, since that is what a jet is anyway.

Cheers,

what page was that on??

I must have missed that page.

Lets see how good the search engine is on this one....

good luck,

you got here to late... hint torque is a pet..

I remember reading and posting about torque going missing just missed the link to the vid of the unit on the test bench

Now that we are close to the light at the end of the tunnel, any thoughts as to whether a high performance clutch is necessary with the Axial?

I seem to remember those clutches being like $1000, which would certainly up the cost of ownership.

Any other costs/parts needed to be replaced we should know about?

Damn this is exciting. The Rx8 is about the only car that fits my needs for a small 4 passenger vehicle that handles well, and it seems like other than poor gas milage, the 8 is about to loose it's only other possible drawback, (lack of HP)

If I do indeed end up Axializing my 8, I guess I will end up keeping it at least another 8 years (provided it holds up well) My next car, I expect to be be fusion powered and be able to fly short distances.

Lots of turbo owners don't bother till the clucth gives up .

Just use it as an excuse for a lightweight flywheel . less than $900 for FW/clutch combo .

Wow RP, it looks like this project is REALLY coming together. Can't wait to see it at SS9.
hmmm, maybe Spice Boy and I will have to come out to your shop and take a sneak peak at it...

All praise be to the RP. Thank you, thank you.

Get that supercharger to market ASAP, I want one. Awesome.

I took my RX-8 in for service yesterday and for the first time they asked me if I had a turbocharger or supercharger on it. I told them Not yet, I was waiting for the warranty to expire. They said Mazda is cracking down on such modifications.

But in any case I only have 2500 miles untill the warranty expires, which should be good timing to install an axial flow supercharger I think?

on another note though, has anyone else experienced a cutting out at high rev's (above 6500) when accelerating? it almost feels like a fuel starvation problem. That is why I took the car in. I need it running well as a baseline before I go supercharging it.

Couldn't they just look under the hood?

patrick_andraste

this was the service writer, right off the bat.

I can understand Mazda being wary of forced induction or ECU alterations, but basic bolt-ons I'd think they'll care less about. Any dealership I've ever been to has never complained about my high flow cat.

I admittedly suck at using the forum search engine, but I can not find any video link in the tread... (but good to know that Torque returned eventually)...
Anyone that has found it that would like to enlighten me...

Cheers, Niclas

You just look like the kind of guy who would cheat.
After all you have all those noisy bikes don't you?

Razz1

Any progress yet with the new ECU?

patrick_andraste

so they saw in the ECU memory a misfire condition they said, but they will not work on it until I put the stock aircleaner back on.

it feels like fuel starvation, plugged fuel filter, tired fuel pump, something.

so now I have to find which box I packed the aircleaner in and restore it to stock.

yes, I do have them durn noisy murder cycles, five of them last count if you only consider the running ones....

sosonic

The length and content of this thread is "special".

What about some projected numbers on the axial flow supercharger? 0-60 times, horsepower increase, etc... ??? Please.

BoosTED

iTrader: (2)

Don't complain about the length of the thread.

If you had read the thread.... you would see that Richard won't make claims about the horsepower. He has to finish before that info comes out.

Richard has been kind of quiet lately which makes me think he's working his *** off and probably making good progress.

*waits patiently*

h-khunterkiller

he's definatly trying to finish for 7 stock

rotarygod

Richard as usual is working hard to make it a nice kit that does what he says. I think we are going to see something really cool at Sevenstock this year!

Trekk

I hope it comes with a cool little plate on it like the older models or engraved.
Say something like
Built by Richard Paul
production #
then maybe some cool/corney line!

I like the little things.

Dookie_Rx-8

hmm that would be cool about the little I.D plate ..

kartweb

Wow, 260 pages later and still no Supercharger.

Trekk

Why post crap like that? I dont care if this gets to 5billion post. I want it done right, and if it takes time so be it.
Would you like it if someone stood behind you and said.
"Are you done yet, are you done yet" for 2 years?
