All i can say is wow, some major work gone into that.
That makes me want an 8
what sort of bhp you pushing with the charger?
job well done
:godthanks for the reply bhp is not know as yet final tweaks will not be done for the next 300 miles then it is gonna be tweaked will post the finding of all specks then thanks t,c
looking very impressive bud !!
looks really nice bet its fun to drive! really like the interior and the boot lining only bit i dont overly like is the front grill with all the badges on and the 2 pairs of fogs/driving lights, the rest is really nice though !
new front grill to go on with no front badges other lights to go on but smaller but these are low high powered driving lamps, no number plate, this is an motorised electric plate that is under the front spoiler and comes out remotely when activated by remote control thats for the comments keep them coming tony .c
was the retrim expensive? if you dont mind me asking? have you got any video\'s or sound clips?? would love to hear your charger :)
the trim is not finished yet glove compartment being done out to house the laptop and car mobile some of the dash to be done in the carbon fiber leather trim no sound clips yet re trim cost under £6,000.00 but there\'s a lot of it,seats door panels ,center console steering wheel, gear stick gaiter, boot space, door sills
As you know already Tony I think you car looks great and if anyone whats a little more info on the SC it\'s a pettit one and more details can be seen here (http://www.pettitracing.co.uk/supercharger.html).
Looking good Tony - did you like your MRC 2009 calendar? :chat
I am confused however - didn\'t you used to post under a different user name?
yes thanks for the calendar you did the car proud, and a lot of other members but have you checked the day/dates for june it seem,s that there are lods of shows next year , hussar was the other name you where after, i think thanks tony
Hi Tony,
Yes hussar was it - I prefer agent-orange!
Glad you liked the pics in the calendar - it was your car and the orange RX-7 that first gave my boyfriend Neil and I the idea for the colour co-ordinated collages (Neil loves orange).
Just realised what you mean about the June dates - that got through the proof reading, appologies.
Yes there are lots of shows next year - plenty of opportunities to show off your Rex! :Thumbs-up
When you said you were going for a polished finish on the supercharger I wasn\'t sure about it, but it works. It looks tip-top as always and I will be interested to see actually what else you can modify on there! It\'s pretty much all done! What strut brace are you using just out of interest?
the strut brace is a FEED i,ve tried two now rxhead (chris go one of them ) the other was to have fitted but thay sent the wrong one in the end my mate was going to the states he got this for me $47.00 dollars:2eek i think i got a bargain:Giggle
$47.00 Dollars!!!!!!! That\'s a serious bargain! That\'s an awful lot less than I paid for my Cusco one! It looks very nice!

(http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/t200cad/DSC00012.jpg)
now i have had them sprayed up will fit them but not 100% sure there indicators as well but you could also use them as side lights, any feed back good or bad is always welcome thanks t.c:Thumbs-up:Thumbs-up
Saw this in the flesh at Brooklands - a very integrated and together package. It\'s the first Supercharged 8 I\'ve seen - must say it looks a nice bit of work.
Not sure on the wing mirror think I\'ll need to see them fitted to make mine mind up, are you planning on having them fitted in time for Japfest?
nice work, looks really good. how did you manage to split the plenum, i though they only ran 8 psi of boost?
yep hope to be at japfest with a new updated front end
sorry folks if any one wants to look at the project my computer crashed when up dating my photos so i have lost the lot so i will have to start again ,and hope i have my old SD cards tony
Quote from: agent-orange;610230sorry folks if any one wants to look at the project my computer crashed when up dating my photos so i have lost the lot so i will have to start again ,and hope i have my old SD cards tony
Not an I.T. person as you know but I would have thought your hard drive could be taken out of your machine and a good computer repairer (not pc world) should be able to extract your info for you,
Weren\'t your pictures on Photobucket Tony?
Adam
yes mate there are some still on photobucket but for some reason that will not transfer and i lost 50% so i will try to sort this out over the next few days thanks for the help t.c
hi tony need some info if possible regards g3
Hi all just resurrecting an old thread with the mods i have made over this year

1/ THIS IS AN UP DATE IN FULL AS AT 15/09/2012
This system is a FCON/( IS) ECU THAT RUNS THE FULL fuel and ENGINE management system
HKS fcon/ IS, ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM now has been fully installed buy TDI LONDON
The HKS FCON (is), has been selected as the choice of aftermarket ECU’s for the management of fuel and ignition timing for this application because it is comes with a high quality harness to make connectivity a simple operation, and it\'s level of quality and functionality is extremely high.
The main features of the FCON (is) :result of methodical testing it has been concluded that the HKS FCON (,is) is a cost effective optimum installation enhanced upgrade solution on the Mazda RX8.
the full figures and mapping results will become available ( these were posted 2010 after new engine installed )the figures from a before hks was fitted just the supercharger engine and remap (of six independent tests) and the after figures that TDI has done with the new hks system fitted the rest of the cars systems is still dealt with the cars original ecu there is quite a remarkable difference.
fuel economy UP in all areas
local and town driving is up to 24.6mpg (tested 2010/2011 ) new engine fitted
motorway/long runs 35.7 mpg (tested 2010/2011) new engine fitted
A 25% faster processing speed HKS ECU IS THE FIRST PROCESSOR Mazda ECU runs the rest
Built in video output function to monitor engine parameters
Plug and Play harness which makes the connectivity very easy: or record to a logger or computer
TO THIS IN 6 YEARS

(http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/lovinghim401/1957-chevrolet-corvette-convertible.jpg) this is not mine but i have the full shell and engine and this is what i hope to accomplish mine looks nothing like this but with 40k it will do but mine might have a twist under the bonnet 550bhp lump
THIS IS GONNA TAKE ME YEARS:Giggle:Giggle:Giggle
What is tha t blue car and what motor you puttin in?
Can I just say fella... that is EPIC... just read through everything, absolutely stunning. Well done... that engine bay is superb. Funnily enough contacted Pettit the other day for the last super charger... not sue whether to go for it or not...
thanks for the big up:cool with reference to the pettit supercharger is for me I bought it and would do it again:Thumbsup! so if you can afford it then buy it and don\'t listen to all the negative stuff, if you did we all would have cars the same and that would be boring:)
with ref to my other project its going to have the viper S10 engine supercharged and there transmission with modern ECU and electrics and the puritans can go to hell ha ha. but i have just had a major offer from the USA and its 40 times what i paid for it:Giggle:Giggle:Giggle
You must have a cracking wife or gf mate, as my missus would let me get away with it lol.
sorry chaps some MOD commitments have come up for a new contract and i am now going to be pulling out of any shows or meets this year :shock: , you can never turn down easy money :!: and i will be out of the country for most events, or just returning , plus my corvette project has been sold to the son of the original owner he\'s come from the states (twice but looked at this project 3 times and made his mind up sunday) and it will be shipped at the end of the month, he made and offer to good to refuse and i don\'t now have the time to go forward with it. I will try to make jap fest and still doing le~ mans :Thumbsup!
(http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/lovinghim401/1957-chevrolet-corvette-convertible.jpg)
just sorting shipping out and some export paper work he,s taking everything but the viper kit so i will be sorting that out at some date for another project although i have a firm interested in buying this now :Talking1
it was about 20% complete but the new chassis and strengthening mods fit were going to be over £11,000.oo carbon fibre and aluminium . so it could of turn into a runner way £££££ build even though i had put £40,000.00 to one side
this could of hit twice this so it was a no brainer :eek::eek:
happy with is visa payment this morning though :Viking
I booked time for rotor stock so hope to make this as well.
sorry with the photo bucket upgrade as they so call it the buggers have yet lost my photos i had with there system so i will not be posting photos up any more with them i will have to find a different way of posting stuff:flamed
Get yourself your own Website Tony,as that is how I Post my Photo\'s up :wiggle

This system is a FCON/( IS) ECU THAT RUNS THE FULL fuel and ENGINE management system
HKS fcon/ IS, ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM now has been fully installed buy TDI LONDON
The HKS FCON (is), has been selected as the choice of aftermarket ECU’s for the management of fuel and ignition timing for this application because it is comes with a high quality harness to make connectivity a simple operation, and it\'s level of quality and functionality is extremely high.
The main features of the FCON (is) :result of methodical testing it has been concluded that the HKS FCON (,is) is a cost effective optimum installation enhanced upgrade solution on the Mazda RX8.
the full figures and mapping results will become available ( these were posted 2010 after new engine installed )the figures from a before hks was fitted just the supercharger engine and remap (of six independent tests) and the after figures that TDI has done with the new hks system fitted the rest of the cars systems is still dealt with the cars original ecu there is quite a remarkable difference.
fuel economy UP in all areas
local and town driving is up to 24.6mpg (tested 2010/2011 ) new engine fitted
motorway/long runs 31.7 mpg (tested 2012 ) new engine fitted

There you go, title amended to Rx/8 Photos Of My Six Year Project
:Viking
Well had a few fuel delivery issues due to having the supercharger and other mods the fuel delivery has the odd flat spot or blip over 7500 RPM to 9250 RPM and now trying to combat this by adding a new type of fuel pump the one i gone for is the walbro 255
so i thought if any one needs to see a build thread then i would start one
so far i have the new walbro 255 pump and clive:god has donated his old set-up (with the old mazda fuel pump still in) now it needs to be striped out and replace it with the walbro 255 .
The first four photos are of the unit that clive sent and his pump striped out, and the walbro 255 kit. before its placement into the donor parts.
next week i will taking photos of fitting in the new unit into the donor parts and
once this is done more photos of striping out my unit and replacing the unit into
my car.
