Four years ago I popped the 86K mile motor in my red 04 RX-8.
Well, after being incredibly close to boosting the car and unleashing all hell, it all went to **** and I never got to post the build.
I was documenting it over at a smaller website to save myself the embarrassment of joining the other build threads that fell off.
Various delays including medical issues and moving half way across the county pushed the build out 4 years long. After not driving the car for close to 2.5 years I will once again be driving my RX-8 very soon.
I will be picking the car up from Banzai Racing in Indiana and driving it home, let the break in period commence.
I will spare you the details and skip right to the good stuff. However, I've got a gang of photos and don't have an issue answering questions.
Mod List:
Banzai Racing (BR)
BR Stage 5 rebuilt REW
BR RX-8 REW Crossmember
BR Low profile REW oil pan
Nothing Leaves Stock (NLS)
NLS Custom fabricated down pipe
NLS Turbo Manifold
NLS Custom Greddy elbow
NLS intercooler piping
T67 / T04R Turbo
Interceptor-X EMS
Injectors
Primary: 550CC
Secondary: 750cc (I will need to confirm this, it's been a bit)
Tertiary: 850cc (I will need to confirm this, it's been a bit)
Xcessive FD Lower Intake Manifold
GodSpeed intercool
Tial 44mm wastegate
Tial BOV (I forgot the size, I have it somewhere)
Bunch of little bits and pieces
First, the car. This is the most recent shot before she went under the knife this last time.
Stage 1: Putting the REW in the first time.
Stage 2: Research your mechanic kids, and go with your gut.
Stage 3: Let's try this again, I ain't got time for this ****, lets give it to someone else.
(You better believe I did my research this time and it paid off.)
