Some pics of my rear mounted turbo build for my RX8 - Page 3

Looking good man! I sent that email to Mark today so hopefully we will hear back soon.

Fix that intake and we're in business.

Rearmount 8 · 02-08-2010, 08:31 PM

The intake is in the works and I am standing by for Thursday.

Kane · 02-09-2010, 07:09 PM

Ok let me know when the intake is all done man!

My car had an issue so I'll dyno it next week - and I haven't heard back from Mark yet - but hopefully soon.

Rearmount 8 · 02-09-2010, 08:06 PM

What happened? If you need a hand let me know. If you don't hear from Mark by Thursday I'm free all day Friday Saturday evening and Sunday before 3.

Well my AP should be here any day now and then get this girl tuned and running right before you leave Kane so we can take her out for a spin!!

I will post more within the week.

very nice.. just picked my 8 up and giving alot of thought to pulling my stocker and swap'n for the rew and a microtech. who know's..

Rearmount 8 · 04-03-2010, 09:17 PM

Just an update as to how things are going, after much deliberation and failure I decided to pull my P-1's and put in something a little more reasonable so I can get this thing going. As of right now I can get it started and running real rough and that's about it. I've gone through a set of plugs and one of my lines for my oil tank in the back has sprung a leak but that aint a big deal. Just get the company who made it to cut and put a new fitting on there.

When it does start up she sounds awesome. When the new injectors get here, hopefully Monday, I will throw them in and try it again. Hopefully I have some better luck cause during this whole project I feel like I've been ice skating uphill the whole way but it has been fun at least. It's so close I can taste it.

Will post videos when it gets running.

greyrx8 · 05-12-2010, 12:31 PM

how did your engine management get set up?
i'm thinking about doing a remote mount to mine too but im not sure if the mass air flow set up would still work or if i would have to switch to a manifold pressure set up?

if you could give some info on that stuff that would be great

greyrx8 · 05-12-2010, 12:32 PM

essentially im wondering where your mass air flow sensor is now or if it was omitted all together like some turbo kits do

Rearmount 8 · 05-12-2010, 09:16 PM

My mass air flow sensor is still in roughly the same position. Coming off the turbo to the intercooler is a 2 1/2" piping into then out of the intercooler. Then it enters the engine bay through the airbox location then stepped to a 3" and then is stepped up to 3.5". The 3.5" section is a straight pipe with no bends about 11" with the MAF sitting right in the middle of it.
Underneath and along the drivers side of the car is a nice little slot that the tubing was able to be tucked up to so it is out of the way and wont get damaged. Doing the tuning is slow going at the moment due to some financial issues so it has been placed on hold for a bit. Sucks for me.

Hopefully this answers your questions. If you have anymore or would like to see something specific let me know.
