Got everything done, still have a leak between the turbo and manifold flange. Gonna throw a thicker gasket on there and see if that fixes it. Should be all good to get tuned in 3 weeks.

Anyhow, took a couple crappy videos.

The exhaust is all hooked up, not sure what else I can do to quiet it down. Maybe add another muffler?

Damn that sounds mean. Think the kid in the background ran and hid inside the house when he heard it coming down the road! LOL Engine bay looks sick. As far as noise, maybe weld in a resonator to quiet it down a tad? Reason is say this is cuz Mazsport makes a dual resonated midpipe for the RX-8 and it quiets it down quite a bit. Just a thought.

Welp, I won't be getting tuned this time. My new clutch is bad, and no time to get a new one and install it.

Will have to wait til spring...

Eric- Have you asked if Steve Burkett had a clutch in his shop that can be used for the tune?? I know at the last tune he was trying to sell Tony a clutch he had sitting around the shop, and they were throwing that idea around when Tony was trying to go over 500rwhp.


I am going to have to swing by your place and see this marvel in person. I will definitely have to come by on Sunday after everything gets wrapped up at the Dyno tuning.

This sumped fuel tank won't work with my minitub so I need to sell it. The interior was stripped and sealed while the sump was done. Comes with sender. Does not come with pump or earls fittings.



$150 plus whatever shipping is. Shipping will probably be $40 or so.
