is that at mazsport?

yep mazsport :icon_tup:

Those new pics dont work...

let me try again.

first is oil pan with hinged baffles to minimize oil slushing

rest shows the motor position, the turbo, & the LIM.

sweet, I saw it there.. I wanna see it running though :shocking:

keep us updated! That looks like an awesome project.

if the rx-8 came like that, I would of bought one quick. Nice work though.

I want to see that exhaust manifold

still love it. how close are you to ignition?

i just looked up Mazsport, it turns out they are right next door to me. i think i may roll by there next week sometime and check them out.

exhaust manifold is just a expanding tube that connects to all 3 exhaust ports.

there was no room for 3-->1 piping. if you look at the DP, you can see that it's almost touching even the simple tubular exhaust manifold.

i don't have any more photos at this time tho.

you may want to visit later. they're pretty busy right now and the car isn't even started yet.

Your belts and radiator are going to be PISSED about the turbo placement. Is it a full drag car?

should be no problem with some insulation. i've had hot side of turbo run right next to plastic engine covers for months with no problem. and that was without the jacket.

Looks like you might have some problems with the upper radiator hose when it comes time. Your Alt. is right above it and then it runs right over the hot side of the turbo. Maybe if you wrap the turbo it might be ok but it can't last too long.

obviously, won't be routing the pipe over the hot side. if you noticed, the oem water pump assembly was taken out because alternator was moved to the side. electric water pump is going in soon which'd give some freedome as to where the pipe would run. also those radiator inlet & outlet will probably be repositioned.

wow ...looks real good , whta drivetrain are you using , and how much power will you be making?

using T2 tranny.

it'll be street driven, so not looking to make heaps of power right now.. probably will stay around 400whp'ish... maybe 500whp.

i'll boost it up later once i'm settled with that power... but for now, i think 500whp would be more than enough for me to handle even on a drag strip nevermind a road course. :lol:

FWIW I've had no problems on my RX8 with a 13B-RE motor making over 400rwhp with the stock 6speed transmission.
