Turbo Rx8 project
by moremazda on Thu May 20, 2010 8:27 pm
The car has ~40k on it. It is the Greddy turbo kit and it currently has 720cc in the P2 position. I didn't do the install work but I did fabricate the exhaust and will be doing the tuning through a COBB AP. It has an oil leak to be fixed first and then it will go on the dyno this weekend to see what it will do. I just thought I would share some pics of what I have done so far. I will post up the dyno numbers when I get them.

No the owner is not a club member although I am pushing that he attend a meet or two. Digging into the car turned up a couple of more problems so the dyno sheet is going to have to wait a little longer.

Got 218.8 whp (so ~250hp on a Dyno Jet) on the stock waste gate. Boost ranged from 5-8psi. I would have a dyno print out but..... the printer was out of paper
