seriously, it is! So much for the manual. Ok, so I understand you put the pipe in last, but even so, how do you manage to torque it properly? I can only tighten the thing with my fingers.... Looks like I'm going to have to deal with an exhaust leak otherwise

hey i have a question for you guys. i have BNR turbo upgrade. I just had a profesional installed my turbo kit. At the end he said there is a coolant leak from the turbo. Other words, he said the turbo had a flaw. I'm sure anybody can chime in on this. Especially anybody who has BNR turbo upgrade on their car. Gregs?

Tony says, RX8s are GREAT
Just to clarify, I installed this kit and the turbo is leaking coolant at the freeze plug/ cap on the turbo. NOT the coolant nipples where you attach the lines. I will have to re-seal it when I take it back off...I should have checked the turbo before I put it on, I should not have assumed it was just fine and dandy when shipped.

My bad, I should have said bolt plug and not freeze plug like they use on engines.
Anyways, I am taking the turbo off on Monday and sending it back to BNR.
I really like the fitment of the kit, I took pictures of every step and I will make a thread on it. I did the AEM intake upgrade, BHR coils, AEM boost controller/gauge install and modified the factory airbox to be used. I like the AEM intake, I made it work by cutting the pipe that goes through the front that the filter sits on. I then put the hump hose on that and put the short pipe with a screen at each end onto that with the maf pipe after that. I did cut a little off the maf pipe to get more room. The whole set up came out nice and I took pics of every step of that and how much I cut off on each pipe. I did cut the wire loom open and pulled the MAF harness wires out and towards the front of the car. I rewrapped the harness and routed the MAF harness under the plastic housing and it goes to the AEM intake just fine.
I did not have to bend or modify any pipe and I did not have to zip tie the coolant line to the bracket, I was still able to use the hose clamp fitting.
Since I did take a picture of every step, I will make a step by step report on how I did it with pictures for each step.

hi,
maybe you have already answer this, but here it goes:
I got the greddy turbo kit, bnr upgrade, 650cc rc injectors, walbro fuel pump and de-cat exhaust. how much boost can I get from the turbo and how much boost can the engine handle?
*if my English is not correct it's because it's not my native language
thanks

/\ that is an impossible question .
If you put it all together without modifying the wastegate actuator you will make 6-7 psi up top which is plenty while you are sorting out your tune . Don't worry about making big power till you have ironed out all the little issues you are bound to have .
