Street Mod - SM..... You'd probably be running against modded EVOs and WRXs.... I think it'd be a fun race...

Would it be a major concern with an afsc rotary? Increase capacity pump--conversion to a return type system from what i understand doesnt guarantee to solve this fuel starvation issue as it is a charateristic of our saddlebags. I really dont want to do a surge tank.
Working on this

RP, olddragger ask you about our full pump which im also concerns me, even do mazda chage my fuel pump once after about 3 trips or 1/2 hour of driving my/our cars then to have fuel starvation when the heat soaks all components.

Well I have managed it.

I have talked about this SC so much to my wife, that when the subject comes up shes doesnt even object, she just says "so when you get your SC"....

I love my wife.

RP what is your thoughts on this fuel issue? Duel pumps? surge tank? Baffling?
Saddlebags will always give delivery issues on a road course when only one pump is used.
How hard is it to crack this tank?

I can't wait to get this unit - Finally a 1080P DLP projector !!!!!

Oh wait... I'm in the wrong message board!!!!

I guess I got confused since both of these toys I'm waiting to be released are around the $4000 price level. But which to get first????

yeah man! SC!!! and by the time you have ur AFSC running, the price for the 1080p DLP projector could be halved already (yeah a little extraggration, but u know.. technology...) then you can have BOTH!

Ok, right now we are cutting parts for production compressors. We have orders in for minimal parts that are coming from outside suppliers. the reason for that is to test run a few kits and see if there are any field issues. We hope to do a beta test install next month and write the installation instructions from that car. Our car is too prototype as we changed so many things.

I'd love to tell you that we have the reflash ready but I can't, it's still a work in progress. I did tell you that it is in a car and has the ability to change perameters.

When we get the beta install done I'll get you pictures. That will show the production parts. Just how it will look in your car.

I think you should do a test kit for NZ - to test the SC in a different environment to the US . I know someone who can help with that RP.......

Great I can hardly wait to see the installation instructions. I’m going to have to saving for a kit.

I do have one question. I know it has been discussed that there will not be more than one pulley for different boots. But I was wondering how hard it would be to customize the pulley for those of US that live at 5000 feet? Could a different pulley be installed to create the same boost at 5000 feet as it would normally at sea level?

Got to be careful there because what happens if you take a drive to a lower elevation…..


Possible over boost condition.


Also you would now have an increase in output temps (due to higher compression ratio/ turbine speed) that may warrant some sort of air charge cooling system (water injection).

I have an idea for a device that would be able to control final boost levels independent of turbine speed unfortunately I will not be testing it until I can get a AFSC installed and running. Will be testing the unit on a standard AFSC (8psi max) to see if I can control boost levels to not go above say 6 (just picked a number) then will have a custom pulley made so the AFSC will say boos up to 10psi and see if I can regulated boost levels to say 8psi.

I thought about that and I think you would just keep the original pulley and swap it out when you go on a trip. I know not the best solution but most of the time my driving is around town where the altitued does not change much.

Richard - if the flash doesn't get finished before the kits are ready to ship would you consider selling kits without it to people who have interceptors or EMU's and are willing to get it tuned?

The only problem is, he tried it with an int-x and it didn't work well apparently. I'm not sure if they ever found out what the problem was or what.

if im not mistaking it was told that the rx8 does not come with altitute flash been any differnet that sea level, so when it is flash for boost it will compensate just the same (remember is a smart little thing we have in there)
