just

 

soon to be mounted on my engine..... also dyno #'s coming soon. enjoy the pics.

 

How do you wire the RX-8 TB? Is it basically PnP? Also, do you have to remove or rotate the engine to get the intake mani in there?

 

all you have to do for the rx8 tb is to switch the circuit board( wich is the black cover on the top of the tb) with the Tc's to make it work.

ill tell you in a few weeks on how to mount it in the engine, right now the intake manifold is getting some work done to it (new tb flange to mate the rx8TB).

 

interested in the #s. watching

 

x2

 

im also very interested in the numbers, im so anxious that sometimes i can even sleep. my car already has a build n/a engine hitting 192whp &173wtq (no cams, no engine management). i will be very happy if i hit 198whp & 180is wtq. we'll see in about 3 weeks

 

watching... good luck with #s

 

def watching for updates

 

thanks!!!!!!!

 

what mods you currently have? to have that setup?

 

curent mods are:

injen intake
dme header
zpi down pipe
2 1/4 exhaust with magnaflow muffler
unorthodox pulley
act 4puck clutch kit
f1 racing 12.5lbs chromoly flywheel
pnp head
je 11@1 pistons
balanced shafts removed
apex neo
vision grounding kit
vision voltage stabilizer
engine assembly completely balanced

..........and soon to be mounted(3 weeks). weaponR intake manifold and rx8TB.

 

Out of all of those, which one was the one mod that you felt a diffrence on?
and are you reving higher than 6100RPMs?

 

well, every mod i added to the car i felt a slight gain, like adding an intake then the header and the pulley. but the three mods that turned everything around were (1)PnP head (2) 11@1 pistons (3) apex neo.

*****the car revs to 6,200rpm(oem)

 

Sorry i stand corrected.
Anyways, How much was the PnP head and the Apex neo?
easy install?..

 

a very good PnP head will range from $500-up to thousands of dollars, it all depends what you want. me personally, i didnt spend more than 50 for the abrasives and that was it, me and my friend did everything.

installing the head is a pain in the butt, only because toyota decided have so little space in the timing cover side and to a bolt in the timing chain thats like 5 inches long and you have to jack up the engine in order to get it out, other than that it's not that bad. with pacience and a lil' elbow grease it can be achieved.

the apex neo its very easy to install (at least on 05-06 engines/ 5 plug ecu) all you have to do is wire the cables with the specific diagram wich is T-11c for 05-06 engines.

 

how much was the intake?

 

intake manifold was $500 with shipping included

 

what is the diameter on the rx8 throttle body? Good luck on the build. Im glad to see someone taking the risk and being the guinea pig.

 

the rx8 TB is 70mm, oem is about 58mm. thanks bro, someone has to do it.
