Oh i c, well i was thinking S5's were higher comp or same. Will look at them again.

No Ren going back to stock, turbo is crap and so is WG.. 2k to fix that plus whatever else could go wrong with it. Dont want to go carless for another 4 months.
SO im leaning towards a 20b since i can source the parts fast.. But a 26b is on the back of my mind. Gotta look at some things for that.

I also want to build a simple 13b carb na.

 

hey does anyone have a spare n/a ecu they could lend me so i can see if that is the new problem with this car

 

I have an 87 ECU. It's all yours.

Jesse

 

Now I need a set of N/A axles. Anyone?

Thanks!
Jesse

 

S5 N/A are 9.1:1, your rx8 rotors i believe are 10:1- but they have difrent weights as Jason said. if you want to return to stock i think even a .3 drop in compression wouldn't jive too well with your stock ECU.

What happened to your turbo and WG btw?

 

You blow your motor?

Hard to mess a wastegate up..........

You should have ran a real EMS!

If you thought a single turbo took a long time a 20b is much longer/harder/expensive..........

If you know what your doing and have the parts a single only takes a few days to install.

btw I'm up for trades if you need parts

 

Its not going on the rx8. renesis is stock and should be fine. I want rotors for a 13b na project.

WG and TuRBO were **** already. WG location was pretty much 2 inches from ground. Turbo was leaking oil into my cold side. I just decided to take it off and sell it. Never thought a single took long. Took me 4 months cause it was COLD, and i really only worked on it like 15 days for like 1hr each time. LOL
Im getting 20b thats fully rebuild, so doubt i need parts now. For the 13b carb maybe.

Also if you want a Renny, lmk ill be selling mine towards the end of the year.

AND. Anyone going to the GRR auto x in moline this sunday? I might be there

 

so the 20b is going in the RX8?

 

Thats my plan right now, but if i can score a FD roller it might go in that. Either way its gonna be a 13b carb or a 20b swap in it.

 

what turbo/wastegate and how much?

 

Crap turbo.

With crap WG
http://www.xs-power.co.uk/index.php?...roducts_id=256

And crap BOV
http://www.xs-power.co.uk/index.php?...roducts_id=221

 

What size of oil line are you running to the turbo?

Non-BB tend to get alot of blow by with too large of oil feed (especially the higher oil pressure in rotary).

The BOV and WG are hard to mess up. Take them off and clearance them if they dont' work.

oh and all I can say is ............. why a T3?

 

yeah i had a -8 line, will probably make a -4 line when i sell kit for the user. But right now i dont care for it. Gonna sell either way.

t3?? IDK lol i didn't make the kit dude. lol
This is the kit.

I figure if i go 20b i can have the same power NA, with only a few more grand on it. But more reliable.

 

if that is the size feed line u had theres a good chance u cld be blowing oil just for that reason......


lol when u make 450+ with an NA 20b id like to see the receipts afterword.... it will cost more than you think

the EMS alone is going to be close to 2k unless you find a cheap used one. If you run OE you cant go N/A

 

Well im thinking more like 350whp na, could make it up towards the 400 but that would be a little too much for what i want it.. Also ill show you receipts, will mostly all be blanks since my parts are source through people i know. And prices are mostly way below msrp. So really cant show or tell..

Also the haltech im planning on using, ps2000 runs around 1600. Now if you were to add gauges and what not then yeah ill give you the 2k. But seeing as i have bunch of gauges and i can get a good deal on it. It prob wont be close to that.

Though if i went with a LT12s then it be way more.. But im dead serious this is happening. I have sourced a few things and it should run me around 10k for rebuilt 20b + emu + itb. then i need a tranny and tare my rx8 up.

 

10 k is quite a bit more than turbocharging the Renisis though isn't it? that was my point....

wasn't questioning your sources or anything... but the mounts, hoses, fasteners, connectors and all that add up quick too

 

well i spent 5k on the turbo kit. Plus another 1500 for a garret gt35, plus a wg 500, plus a bov 300.. **** adds up. Now if i boost it and later on it blows up thats another 2k to rebuild plus whatever else goes bad.. My point is yes its probably cheaper and easier to just turbo the renesis and have a decent car with decent power... But im not complaning about the money, im willing to spend that and a little more for a more reliable engine. There is already a few guys that had all 3 things i stated go bad. Also there is not a single person that has reached 300whp besides original creator..
Now I know it was my mistake to buy it in the first place, but you live and learn. Now i might be able to sell it for 4k or even 3500. but at least i wont have to suffer with more headaches later on.

And im aware **** adds up fast. All my ss lines and fittings ran me like 500 for the rx8. but what can i do. I want to do this for good experience and plain fun.

There is a guy in ames with red 8, boosted on same kit. gone through 1 turbo already. Will see how long he lasts.

 

wanna give a ring tonight?
i can ship those if u don't wanna drive all way up to CR.

 

sounds like the kit might not be thoroughly tested, maybe some things (like the oil feed line) need to be addressed for longevity. you may be able to change a few things and make a reliable setup out of that u have pretty easily.

 

dude... just pick a t3 turbo up and get a normal waste gate and bov and be done.

1k and your back on the road. with quality stuff.

 

hey jesse get ahold of me please give me a number or something if you would

 

E-Dogg. School/work/homework/wife/11 month olds... take too much of my time.

LOL!

I will call you tomorrow fo-sho!

Jesse

 

anyone else a weee bit closer than davenport have an ecu for me i have a 86 n/a auto trans

 

Probably, this guy has claimed a lot, but really doesn't want to show his kit as much. Oil feed line was actually custom. My friend needed the one with my kit so i gave it to him while i still worked on mine. Then i went with a bigger line by mistake.

Who knows, might have to end up doing that if the kit don't sell fast. It would be tial products though, along with a garrett gt35. But either way, 20b gonna be a project.

 

Jeez, jason and E you guys need to quit hating on this guy. Leave him alone, if he wants to do the 20b then let him do it he said he doesnt mind about the money.
