No fitment issues being it was pre installed on a shop car however I did have some trouble getting the oil drain setup, parts for the oil drain were not included being the kit was fabbed on a rx8 with the rx8 performance oil pan and I have the greddy oil. I'm currently using a -10AN oil line and it's a tight fit so I may switch to a -8AN line. Having vband on everything makes the install so much nicer. Tuning should start soon but may be a challenge getting much done while sevenstock is around the corner and working very long hours this month for work.

 

Thanks! No plans for heat mamangent at this time, my previous BNR turbo setup ran and operated great and with a much more efficient turbo and thicker stainless I'll just monitor and address anything if it comes up

 

Sweet, good to hear its working well. Oil drains are always a bitch, I have to get my bung welded exactly in the spot I wanted to get it perfect.

 

can't wait to see numbers with this...

 

THAT'S a turbo !

 

Do you have the size of the inducer and exducer for the turbine and compressor wheels?

 

WOW, I'm impressed! That all looks like top quality stuff, and that engine mount bracket looks a million times better than that piece or should I say pieces of **** that Turblown sent out.

I may have to go down to Scott's shop and talk to him about something like this.

 

These newer version precision turbochargers are getting great reponse with the air cooled technology, engine coolant temperatures should be changing now that coolant isn't running through a hot turbo.

 

The silicone coupler should be more than suitable for it's location, 9k the engine mount bracket wouldn't see any contact with the inlet pipe being it's not in the path, the bracket sits next to the coupler section of the inlet pipe and there's a rough estimate of 10mm

 

That was my original plan, running a few laps on the track but with the short amount of time that I have and work being so busy there's so little time to get the tune solid for a good run. Oh well there will be plenty of other track days to tear it up!

 

Haha...I love modding the 8, sad part it's easier to buy parts than to find the time to put in the wrench time now.

 

That's how we roll! I have a feeling black top in my area will not look very good once this sucker is tuned

 

62mm compressor
66mm turbine

 

hmmm I dunno about a turbine that big... But its all good I am interested in the results!

 

The fab work on this looks beautiful!! Everything I have seen Scott make has looked good, the man is a great fabricator.

 

Sweet. Looks like a nice setup, too bad low mounts can't be shown off at shows though.

 

this setup is BALLER, I'm glad to see you finally posted up pics of your latest project.
can't wait to see what everyone says once they see the finished results.

 

Its nice to finally see the setup Greg! I want to see the numbers now!!!

 

That's how every kit should be made! My stupid sausage fingers got mangled real bad with my Greddy kit. Real nice fabrication work on this kit, that header seems to be well thought out, are you using the support from the transmission to help hold things up? My experience with tubular headers on Turbo application they tend to last a couple years before needing repairs (although cast is also prone to needing repair and is harder to do). How's this bad boy spooling up?

 

too true :'(

 

most people walk up and look just because they know its rotary, then they are like, "is that a blow of vlave?" where is the turbo? then they take a couple steps back and look for the front mount, point at it and say, yeah its turbo then they all go


this is from my experience

 

wow, just plain wow.

 

wow that set up is sexy... im busing nuts over here just looking at it... good job man.. for gods sake GOOD JOB..

 

I don't have a BOV in my engine bay, I overheard someone telling his friends my intake was way overkill. haha

 

That is funny. The turbo is very hard to see though
