i think that i'll be able to get better higher hp numbers than the dyno run they recently had. my reasons are the original car had 2.50 inch exhaust piping and the turbokit. thats was about it. i will have the 304SS cat delition pipe, 3 in exhaust system, 10% larger turbo internals, and the water injection system. so....... im not promising, but i think we'll be able to see 345 or 350. but well just have to wait t=for the dyno numbers

and it'll take them 5 days min. for install. so patients my friend

Take it off for warranty work?? Sounds like B/S to me. But hope everything goes as planned for you on monday. Good Luck. Can't wait to hear the results.

what is going to be the engine management solution?

Why am I not surprised? "Another week."

Whats even more rediculous is the fact that this thread has been in existance since June 3rd so that must mean that his installation date must have been set before this date. Why would they accept more cars to work on knowing that they have to install a turbo kit for this guys RX8? Poor resource allocation? Hmmmmmm Ya Think?

I personally took it off of the vehicle :)

We're going to run the pretuned TSI ECU

well the rx8 that came out of nowhere friday. and they ferrari has has been there for a while now, the owner just didnt pick it up. thats not the problem. it was the short staffing

hey ssr where you the one under the lift. i think i spoke to you. i didnt know ssr guys was there to help out.

No point in ripping the guy or SFR, that gets us nowhere.

Keep us posted and I'm sure it's already been said, but let's take a look at the dyno sheet when you're done.

thanks you. we need more moral support like red devil...hahahaha. like i said ill keep it posted

Yeah D1GT-x8, keep us posted. I know I will be getting a turbo in the future (2 years). Really interested to see how much hp and torque you get out of the SFR/SSR. Good luck.vegas.

talked to sfr today and they wanted me to come in tuesday morning at 930 finally.

You sure are taking this well... If I had driven over 400 miles to Phoenix like SSR wanted me too, and they pulled this stunt, I would have been pretty pissed off.

hehe good luck...and take pictures :D:D:D

Haha But I Dont Drive 400 Miles. I Only Drive 15 Mile Thats Why I Chose Them To Be More Convinient. And Plus They Waited For Me To Pay For The System. Its Only A Week. Plus They Really Hooked Me Up On The Install Too.

So installation is finally taking place??
I'm eager to see the results..

yes it is time. just got back from the shop. cant wait. he said by friday it'll be done.but i dont expect it back till monday. but if i get it earlier i'll let everybody know. oh by the way i added the test tipe to the system today. got everything in the system besides the ball bearing turbo. since shrawf car got bad reviews at speed magazine(not that im knocking him). lets see how i can represent the 8s.

I guess the shrawf was not with him.. Too bad....

Yikes! This thing is expensive!!!

tic toc tic toc, is it done yet? is it done yet? man I cant wait to here that shit. vegas.

weel like i said. theyre planing to finish friday but i wonuldnt be suprise to see it done monday or tuesday. since its july 4th. but like i said ill keep you posted

i just totaled up the price on their website, and cot damn i got a good deal

you should've gotten the ball bearing!!!!

Hopefully the money you saved wont have to go towards a new engine... keeping my fingers crossed for ya. Keep us informed.

well i was gonna get the ball bearing but sfr told me that he would rather prefer me not to because it was detonating to quickly. he told me that they actually had to force LAG in the system because it was creating a knock. trust me i really wanted it . but i know that if they turned money down. then they really mean that i didnt need it.

well yesterday i stopped by the shop because they couldnt find my wheel lock key. i couldve sworn it was in the car but i looked every where and it wasnt. they had to take the front right wheel of because it was getting in the way of the manifold and they couldnt install it. by the time i got there the mechanic "ed" had left for the day. so that was a day wasted. but so far they got the piggyback wired up. turbo is in but not the manifold. and also the intake was on also. theytold me that they'll try to push it friday. but if not then tuesday it is. which is fine with me because i still owe him a grand, and planning to pay him on friday.

Somebody explain this to me?

oh yeah i got a question for you guys. would i have to break the turbo in. or is it just plug and play. if it is whats the distance for break in period

The comment about "knock" is a bit concerning.

Let SFR tell you what to do as far as break-in or not since it's their kit.

like me, you probably work for the department of redundancy department :p

Again I say, :wtf: ?

The power steering is having a problem as well as sixth gear.Nothing turbo related.The fact is the test car has about 9,000 miles on it and the motor is still very sound.This Renesis motor is pretty stout.I think it is capable of alot more power.


We have also sold quite a few more kits then Danryl originally reported so hopefully soon some of those guys will get on these boards and tell you how everything is going.

With the turbo we were using, when boost came in at 4000 rpms, the car started to ping(knock,detonate,etc......)We used a boost control solenoid to bring the boost in a little later which elimiated this situation.ON Danrylls car and all future kits we will be using a larger turbo that has a bit more lag.This will alleviate the problem .


On another note,we will be offering the turbo system with the Emanage in the near future which will save some cash.Unfortunately though, it doesnt have the capabilities of the TSI unit so there will be no water injection system for users of the Emanage system.

But isn't the issue lowend torque. I know that isn't a turbos strong point, but still your not giving a chance.

what about the new Emanage Pro unit? how about with that? it is FAR more advanced

tim. tim. tim. nice to know you put my name out like that. hahahaha. by the way you know the only one that calls me danryll, since i was on the 3rd grade. cause you got use to that name. i'll let you call me that. but everyone else knows me as RELL

Wait...if your getting deontation and pinging, wouldn't the correct solution be to retune the car? You method of tweaking the setup seems to be revolving around putting things in till it works, instead of bringing the tune of the mapping to match the hardware.

I guess I'm really confused about whats going on here. There is alot of miscommunication going on. I also don't know very much about forced induction, but what I do know seems to go against the grain of what your doing.

agreed

My question to the ping issue is, if the SFR kit even comes with larger injectors, can't they flow enough fuel in the lower rev range to prevent this?

Or is it that the turbo is so large that it simply won't develop full boost until 4K anyway?

Also, can you provide more clarification why you don't recommend the ball bearing option? Full boost at 4K as opposed to say 3200 is a definite difference.

Thanks.

check by the shop today almost everything is on. i got pix but ill probably put it tommorow

happy 4th guys. sorry i camped out last night and havent gotten any sleep. i'll try to post tommorow. and try to get video on the dyno. as for me im just gonna get knocked out. peyce

Anything?

I think their is some misunderstanding...........We did get detonation but only as the boost started to come in.Adding fuel and retarding timing didnt help the situation so we had to alter the way the boost comes on.This ultimately alleviated the problem.

What RPM does full boost come at now?

Can you control timing and fuel at the rpm you were having issues with??

Still not ready?

great, nows the camera :(

Its been all day now...I hope you're out filming!
