Look into the ob2 cat's that vibrant sells. They are a more modern catalytic converter, rated for 700 hp (piston), and clean up the emissions real well. The Bonez stuff that rx7.com sells would be on par with the ~$100 cats that Vibrant sells also.

These cats do not have the air pump connection? I have a new mazda cat sitting in the basement. Would need adapters to fit to the three inch racing beat. I have not found a local spot to buy flanges to bolt. Maybe I should have ordered them from racing beat.

 

They do not come with an air pump connection no. You would just need to weld it into whatever you have now.

UPDATE!
She now runs on the adaptronic E440D with custom patch harness to stock ECU!
I even drove it down the street with the stock ecu. First drive in over 5 or 6 years? Loosing track of how long. LOL

 

If your cat has a split air pipe and you can get over using the flanges,then just get compression fittings for the split air pipe.
they are 1/2 inch and can be bought in the plumbing section at CTC.
No welding and can be installed with a wrench.

 

Awesome Ian!

I really loved your car when you let me drive it forever ago.

I gotta get mine back together still, one day I will.

 

Nice! very excited for you....I wish I was able to drive mine.

 

Awesome! I am glad its all working out for you.

 

Thanks guys. 100% running next year. Next month is the custom air box, month after that is bottom air dam skirt for the oil cooler etc. Make cat converter to fit in the racing beat silencer area. Then clean up a few small things. THEN TUNE FOR SOME BNR STAGE 3 turbo power. LOL. Can't wait to see how it compares to my Turbonetics 60-1 turbo....

 

How do you like my cold air intake

 

Lol a true CAI!

edit: been meaning to ask, are you the Ian W. who used to do SoloII in maybe '96-97, getting fastest runs a lot of times? Maybe in a Miata, not sure. I only went for a couple years, then life took over, lol!

 

Nope Im Ian S. I did do soloII once that year or so but was pretty slow. Did Sigma Time Attack for two years then life took over LOL.

 

Works for me!

 

Some progress. Removed the charging harness and swapped the CAS wiring because I was not happy with the hacked cut up harness I did when I install a haltech years ago. This was painful. Also bought some HID's. Installed AEM nozzle. Test run the AEM kit and notice mounting the pump in the car I can hear the pump.

Also installed ghetto brackets to hold the IGN-1A coils. These will be tossed as I was not happy with the location of the coils. I am very limited to where I place the coils for space and the Sakebomb harness doesn't allow the coils to be separated very far. I could build some harness extension but then my sakebomb ignition wires might be short.

Uhmm. Measure 20 times buy once?

 

That is one purrrty engine bay. I thought I kept mine pretty clean.

 

You have a sickness my friend....lol but I like it.

 

Thanks, Way to much time into it. Constantly tweaking.

 

Yup you suffer the same sickness If only I can get my car as clean and awesome as yours!

 

Stop bitch'in and just get it done,. No RX-8 for you next year!
My 7 is f@#Ked so she's out as a loaner as well
Fix it or shut up!

 

Nah. Gonna whine for another 3 years Couldn't get it to start because I put IGN-1A coils and went sequential ignition. Might have left something disconnected. LOL

FIX YOUR CAR or no rotary cruise for you. Will leave you in a northern ditch somewhere if you show up with your yuppy BMW

 

need some settings?(1000/2000 on a PS1000?)

 

Can't wait to go for a spin! its been a long time since I've been for a ride in a rotary car

 

Nah. Its an adaptronic. Sold my PS2000

 

Snow has melted...rain has come....roads are clean.
Now get that thing out of the garage!!!

 

Almost 8km on the car this weekend. Just before that the furtherest it did was 2km to make sure no leaks and had brakes. Base adaptronic map works well. A bit lean on boost.

HAve a few pictures of the latest work on the car just to lazy to post. Paint looks awesome outside. Now to get it tuned so I can really enjoy it. Gonna have to put some KM next year in North carolina or somewhere

Did you have yours out yet?
