Oh ****! Now I gotta get a waterpump!

 

I have one of the water pumps but was holding off putting it on so that Ray and I can log temp differences in the new a/t radiator. Hopefully it will not be long before I get the radiator in.

 

Hehehe

Yea I don't post mini novels often but when I do......posts like this happen.

I'm dismayed that with all of the knowledge that has been posted on this forum over the last couple of years, that those that like instant gratification need to read more.

My mantra:
Knowledge is power. Pop quiz, What Game character that has appeared in 2 movies and 4 games said this line?



It's not a placebo sensation you feel. The info I gave came from a conservation with Paul Thomas and Rick Engman. I would have bought Pauls last water pump but i didn't have cash funds! Phil, Paul, MM, CRH and CW were all egging me on to just buy the thing! I want to dyno with the old pump and then again with the new pump...

let me try to re-orient you mindset.
Of all of the cars I have worked on, driven, broken, and fixed, my best impression have been Mazda and Subaru. I'm not saying this because I have an 8.

I feel (personal opinion here) Mazda doesn't have a good cooling engineer that understands rotary heat issues. And this one facet of design has claimed How many AT's in the Southwest? Hmmm one oil cooler...

Ford makes ok comsumer trucks. Their cars feel cheap. I prefer Chevy trucks, but they have issues with the electronic engine control systems.

I'm digressing from the topic, Sorry.

No one car manufacture makes the perfect vehicle. Humans design it. I know I'm not perfect, and I think Mazda makes a better car.

 

seeing wat everybody is writing, i think a.) ima cool everything first before any sort of FI or Nitrous

and b.) see how i can get the governor off. would int-x take care of that btw? or is it really on the front wheels and no possible way of removing it? i looked all over and couldnt find much or anything really "clear"

 

The limiter is on the front wheels.

And 09Factor, I seriously need to see a video of your 8..

 

well how da heck are you supposed to get over 125 in this thing?! haaaardy har har har

 

You can always get an ECU chip.. To bypass the speed limiter..

 

which one? intx wont do anything right?

i swear im looking all over and i cant find any info on this subject

 

I'll find out for you. That is if someone doesn't answer your Q before.

 

thnx man, i just read about 9 threads about the speed limiter for the AT 4sp 8, and i found nothing about whether the int-x can let you disarm the speed limiter. p7, i think i saw your writing in some of them. thnx a lot boss

 

In the Asian side of the globe, there are companies that modify the ECu to remove the speed limiter. Now I don't know if there is a diffrence between the US and Other markets ECU code.

It's here somewhere. And I "think" Sosonic has had this done....

Time to use the Search button..

 

grrrrrrrr again?! im in ocean city, md. closer to southern DE and i go to DC and VA almost everyweekend/every other weekend. im going in two weeks for Eid, the end of the muslim month Ramadan, so any shops out her, greatly appreciate it :-P

 

hmm, HKS has a rev and speed limit disabling chip for the AT rx8, hang on I'll just be a guiny pig and buy one of these......

I think the X does remove them no?

 

no one has said anything about the x... YET, but if you do get it (your going to get it, ooooooooo) then please post up sum specs, mayb a DIY if your going to ... well... DIY

 

The Int-x side steps rev limiter. It takes control of the injectors so they continue to squirt fuel.

 

I'm thinking of getting the HKS chip, I'll see whats going on since no one ever said anything about these

 

yayyyyyyyy ok int-x is first to come! so i can break my engine :-P

 

you're not going to "break" your engine........but if u tune it improperly, you will blow a seal, we have lots and lots of seals in our engine, Weeeee

 

lol man, i cant wait to get this second job. i bought a car i clearly cant afford! but when this second job starts, ima pay it off and start modding like crazy. i already got the list from taja (thank you very much) aaaand then after that ill add a nice bottle of nitrous till i decide to drop 10gs for the FI (10 because i want to drive to florida and get it done)

 

same here, I will be adding nitrous to my car next month, lets see how that works out

 

Ah, my friend has one of those in his Mustang GT. He said he bought it for about $300..

And I was going to post something about the speed limiter but I just spaced out and forgot..?!

 

probably........

anyways, the hks chip that I saw isn't designed for any boost gains, just for speed and rev limit gone gone which is what I need right now since I feel the need to go at tripple digit speed, idk why, its probably because I'm falling asleep behind the wheel so often now.....

 

ahahah well i mean why dont you get intx and call it a day?

 

probably because it's $1500

 

^ thanks for joining us atilla btw, I got my golden brake rotors on, lolol
