Can a Mod change the title of this thread to "Greddy Turbo Install Complete.. Details Inside!"? I think that title best describes the threads contents now. Thanks!

I don't think I saw a highflow cat listed in your sig. Are you planning on running one in the future, or any concerns about leaning out the fuel system too much if you went to one? Or do you think the emanage is running rich enough to handle that alteration? I would think it would be fine, but just curious...
Video was great.

I was thinking about this yesterday. If you port it then wouldn't you have to tweak the Air/Fuel Ratios? If the map is locked then that might be hard to do........

Any one know the name of that machine gun ?
that sucker will make sure theres no traffic in your way if its correctly mounted on your RX8
cheers

I must not understand CARB. Its venting air! Someone call Arnold, surely he'll get that repealed :D That would explain the presence of the stock BOV (they had a different name for it) on the FD though...it did in fact vent to the airbox.

Wow that's the video I captured and posted on the rx7 forums a few years ago. I still can't stand to see that vert destroyed.

I always keep mine white. I had a 2nd gen and hated the amber red!
Borla Cat Back.. for a list of mods, look at my sig.

too. $149.00 at autozone. It's a pain to install though, especially with the
rx8. (you will have to leave a key in the car for it to operate)

Damn CARB and their emissionsNazis...
:D
A word on Trannies...I'm under the impression HP doesn't kill transmissions - TORQUE kills transmissions. Say Jon's car is at the 250hp mentioned...I'd bet his torque numbers are hovering around the 200lbs-ft mark; hardly 'massive amounts'.
:D
I kept swearing I'd not TOUCH this car until the warranty was expired...dammit. I miss boost.

You hear that Jeff (MazdaManiac)? I7d think that this would interest you quite a bit...

Jon, are you planning to find out your new top speed? I wonder if you manage to hit redline in sixth gear now ...
(here in Germany top speed is the most often asked car attribute besides hp, whereby quartermile times are virtually unknown)
Congrats for the install and thanks for the great report!

~130 lbs(weight not pressure) of air through the maf will cause 10 lbs of fuel to be injected (quantities exaggerated). take some of that air out through the BOV and the computer still injects 10lbs of fuel, it doesn't know the air is gone. if 10 lbs of air come out the AFR goes from 13:1 to 12:1, which is way rich. in a recirc system the air stays in the system, just gets dumped to the low pressure side. burnt fuel is way less harmful to the air than fuel vapor.

A little btw, didn't the Australian car with only 7.5psi give 52% increase in hps
and 65% increase in torque?
If you are running 6.5-7psi (avg. 10% less) shouldnt you see close to 330hps
at crank?

However, if volume, temperature and pressure are the same for two systems, the flow will be the same.
Since all of the current systems seem to be using the OEM intake manifold, if the pressure and (more importantly) temperature are the same, the flow will be the same.
The flow of the turbo is only part of all of that. A horrible turbo can be made to look like a better one with huge tubes and an enormous intercooler for small boost duty cycles.

Surely you wouldn't put the BOV after the MAF? On the FD system its not...well, there was no MAF of course. Still, I would have assumed the BOV would go before the MAF, but I'm no expert. For that matter, where does the MAF go in a system like this?

Oooh man, I'd get the kit in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the lack of rotary expertise in Hawaii.
One, losing the warranty scares the bejebus outta me with the lack of rotary mechs.
Two, dealers here would shun me in heartbeat even if I came in to say fix my A/C..
(ooh you got a turbo, sorry, we cant touch your car!)
Three, I'm not sure of anyone in Hawaii that is capable of a flawless install and followup service.
I might be wrong.. any Hawaii guys care to chime in? Maybe we have a "Jim" here too!

the Aussie car had a different manifold?

it isnt really a big deal, the emanage has a function to compensate for it and keep the mixture within range. or just use a BPV, they're more effecient anyway.

Intercoolers can also be too small or too big. Many people have changed to enormous intercoolers on small stock turbos and lost power. This is much more prevalent at lower boost pressures.

You can compress a sealed compartment with zero airflow through it. It doesn't do the same amount of work. A larger turbo will flow a greater amount of air at the same pressure than a smaller one will. You can take a stock Turbo II RX-7, crank up the boost to 10 psi and get about 250 hp. You can change the turbo to a larger one and run 10 psi and now get nearly 350 hp with no other changes. Pressure is irrelevant. Volume isn't. If you had 2 turbos that had the same efficiency and flow capability at the same pressure, you have 2 of the same turbo.
