Nah, built NA

Semi P-port NA 20B.

Call Defined and make it happen.

Exactly :beatdeadhorse5:

And that. Did anyone else ever use Elliot's RX8 turbo kit with the zero oil turbo?

Yeah, I don't think many people would be buying that kit just to have a ticking timebomb under the hood

20$

Less fun, less balls, less eerrythang

:rofl:

The ONLY RX8 that I wanted to tune @ S1 was running Cam's SC system. Sadly though the ECU had been flashed, and locked, and we couldn't get it :(

Hey rotor brain... I replied to your pm.

Did you do what we talked about last night?

Don't worry. It only hurts for the first 8" ;)

Nope. Not yet. This afternoon. ;)

I know. . . I got it. . . and thanks! I've been battling some things that came up, recently, and lost. So, unfortunately, I'll be doing exactly what I've been up to for the last few years. . . talkin' up a whole buncha trash I can't deliver on!!!

:(

Ah boo. Sorry to hear that.

JK haz no faiths in me.... i got a text from him a couple days ago that went something like this..

"You're car is never gonna run so you should just take Sheba to the Gap this year."

He has a point.

Kyle.... the answer to your problems....
Carb
Than DJ can tune it and I can keep saying, Fuck yo Carb Foo!

Douche


No. The answer to my problem is Haltech.

MoTeC 》AEM > Helltech > Microwrech

$$$$ > $$$ > $$ > yahtzee

haha, was trying to figure out which cars are going.

i might eat my words on this but if u do go Haltech I don't think you will be up and running as fast as you think. Getting a harness built, wiring it up, getting a tune is a lot of work and money.

The 8 goes into the body shop this weekend... They think they can get it done in time.... we'll see. So much to do and no time.

Engine swap starts in July.

Make it in time?

Shit, Charles and Adler painted the Miata on Tuesday, and we took it to DGRR on Thursday.

:rofl: Petes car was up on stands in my shop a few weeks ago. Harness is 1/2 way done. Plan is for him to take it on 03/12, and then head back up two weeks later after it's completelt broken in and we can tune it. It's a rush but should be able to get everything done in time

LSX?

No painting involved. It's all fiberblass and body work.

NA Semi PP 20b. 350~400WHP range hopefully. Engine purchased... It's happening for sure.

:squint: I'll buy it from you and make it into something awesome. DJ knows what I'm talking about ;):willy_nilly:

Hope it gets done but body shops seem to always over deliver.

You have the car with you and you are building the harness and it's still taking you X amount of weeks?

You will then install the harness and set the base map.

Peter breaks the engine in and then drive or trailer the car to you and have it tuned.

Kyle has to buy an haltech and all the sensors.

I would think you would charge him some money to build the harness

He then has to install a harness that was built remotely and hope that the length and sensor are in the right place. I know you can get it close. Not sure if the harness will just be plug and play either. Got to wire in power, ground, prob fuel pump power,speedo and rpm.

Once everything is connected and it doesn't start, he has to rely on a few local friend to come over and help or call you.

I sound like a big pessimistic and hope it all works out if Kyle goes Haltech but i don't think that's his answer to his problem.

:Wconfused:

Yeah, historically I only get a chance to work on the cars on the weekend. Tonight though, Maggie has her art thing so home is mine until about 22:00. So I'll have the harness laid out on the dining room table striping, crimping, and terminating the harness from the Firewall forward. Saturday after the snow I'll head to the shop and build the back half

Few minutes to get the basemap loaded and the thing running. I'm driving and tuning an FD now that is incredibly similar to Pete's engine. Should need very minor adjustments before he can make the 200is mile run back to MD next weekend

Two weeks and then we'll be good to tune. He'll just drive it up

I have a PS2k harness that I could finish up in a day and sell to him with all the sensors needed. Integrating it to his S5 would be slightly time consuming though, like maybe a day to feed it the power, ground and turn on's that it needs.

They start @ $2k installed

The ideal way to do it would be to send me some measurements for the harness from the firewall forward. Build that completely and then head down to get it all installed.

And I would be very little help because without seeing it, I've already given him all the advice I've got. Now it's really oddball shit that needs to be looked at

I told him that too.... at this point the helltech is nothing more than a really expensive piece of diagnostic equipment. Of course I could be wrong and the helltech will fix everything, but I suspect that there's a mechanical problem, or electrical, that hasn't been found yet.

Poor Kyle.

My thoughts exactly but the problem is pinpointing the issue. Like you said, or something like. . Fix the problem before adding more variables. :)

Go help!

:lol: I do remember saying that!

If i had to do it all over again i would just have
The truck
a nice 85 SE with blk interior
a nice FD with Power FC, working sequential and passed emissions

i'm here to troll DJ:

cosmo actually making it to deal's gap this year?

I have!

Giving him some credit, it almost made it last year.

Of course it is.

It's a good thing at the last minute I took it back home. The borrowed engine ended up having a spun bearing. Would have been destroyed.

And troll all you want. Until you resurrect a 40 year old car, that sat for over 10 years, while juggling work and family, you really can't say anything.

Did I scare you off Kyle?

Kyle has ALL WEEK OFF to get that turd going.

Make it happen!

There are no more excuses!!!!

Back on track!

This is supposed to be about the caravans, and who's leaving when............

Ha ha, ADD is a Biatch!

I still don't know when I'm leaving and when I'm getting there. I MAY drive all the way to FL first and then head up.... not sure... too many variables and too much time before decisions need to be made :lol:

I skimmed back through this thread, I hope I got the latest list:

Wednesday AM Caravan- (time TBD):
-djmtsu - 1976 Cosmo
-jfaplanet-- truck or DT not sure at this time
-reddozen - RX8
-Almoststockfc - who knows really.. Hercules?
- Johnny K and Mel - i really don't know...
-Project86 and MT Kyle - '90 GTUs
-RoughRex and Madras - '88 GXL

Thursday AM Caravan- (usually leave exit 89 off I-24 at noon)
-FerociousP - (if I can make the caravan at all)
-Zach- FC, pulling the cabin's new burden carrier/ beer hauler.

Yay for Jason joining the early crew!
