thank you sir

 

Just a little update to my situation I have found a local shop called Mazsport. They have been working with me on my situation. Scott is currently working on my car a Nordic Green 8 with the Greddy turbo. He is currently installing a Greddy E01 + Boost Controller, Ignition Harness, and a True WideBand 02 sensor. He is extremely Knowledgeable and very detail oriented. He has repaired some of the original problems i had. Check them out if you are in the area. His address is:

We figured it out yesterday. I will be expalining the whole thing in the near future after I talk with Greddy tomorrow.

 

Hey, I had a thought about the whole "forgiving and unforgiving" thing. As a ford guy for life and a ford mechanic for a while I noticed that some fords(trucks in particular) were more reliable when they were made in a certian plant. I dont know if this applies at all to mazdas as they are nor fords but it is a stab. It would be interesting to see if the problem cars came from the same local!

 

someone correct me if i'm wrong but don't all rx-8's come from the same plant in Hiroshima?

 

That is not the problem. Trust me

 

just a thought, thanks.

 

Maybe it's a residual radioactive effect of WWII, causing mutations in our engines

 

They all roll off the same line.

The engines are built by hand by the same group of people. Every engine is touched by the same hands.

In some respects, the RX-8 is a "boutique" car. I'm really suprised Mazda doesn't use that to greater effect in their marketing.

 

i have seen one more than one occurance(more than alot!) that canadian assembled fords were better and had less "ghost" problems than mexican ones. for instance i have a 93 ford 150, and a freind of mine had a same year model and we had a huge difference in diveability and reliability! Mine was canadian and his was mexican on the manufacured sticker. Like I said, just a curious thought.

 

iam going to fix the problem i have. iam going to take it to the shop loube gave me is located in Florida, hopefuly i could take it tomorrow.

 

Mazdamaniac. Thank you for all the maps you being putting on. If you say you know the problem that we are having please give us some information about it

 

I had the Greddy turbo installed last week by ACOSTA Motorsports. They did a great job although the installation was a little pricey - $1200. I have an AEM wide band A/F gauge which reflect a rich condition at WOT - the gauge starts recording at 11, and at WOT the gauge goes blank which means the reading is below 11. Benny from Greddy said that could be due to me having SR high flow cat and exhaust system, since kit was designed around stock cat and exhaust system. Acosta has ordered a special order pillar 2 gauge pod for my car. When I bring in the car for that they will tune to lean out a little at WOT and start up which is also too rich.

 

Picked up my car yesterday and boy it JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER !!!!!!!! Runs better than ever feels stronger so on and so forth. Well just got it back and I WANT MORE BOOST !!!!!!! The E01 and O2 sensor look fabulous, and Scott at MAzsport did a wonderful job as always. He does such good work that i installed one of those license plate frames with his shop's name on it (and I have never had one on any of my cars) Well the next step will be to wire up the ignition harness so we can adjust ignition timing and probably bigger injectors.
