Little bit quieter here compared to rx8oc but all rotaries catered for so some great cars pop up...if you look in the Rx8 technical section all manuals here as well.

Thanks Clive , here’s a photo of how it should look (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180218/099d0b3b719d2c6f9bccef347a1d6e6c.jpg)
And here’s a photo now (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180218/70e82ed2a59033057c32f0f90540d98b.jpg)
I know it looks a mess but there not much left to do now , just waiting for new some clips for the turbo pipes ,
Wire the gauges up
Do a battery re location to the boot
Ducting to the rad and IC
Cut new vents in the bonnet
Put all the body panels and a general clean up all around

Bit of bad luck last night , the inlet pipe on the actuator snapped off . Would anyone know where I could get a-replacement for a Greddy T618z . There’s a few from Taiwan on e bay but are not direct replacements

So a resurrection I suppose . The actuator was sent to Essex as there was a man there who could get an identical one built for me . This took and absolute age . After waiting for at least three months , it broke me . I was Weighing up times , testing runs Etc and I wouldn’t have seen a track day that year ( last year ) . So out it came , started Sunday and I had my old engine back in and running by Thursday evening , just evenings , working with a help from friends . It started first turn of the key . The relief was unexplainable , I handn t realise how much pressure / stress id been putting myself under with the constant unanswered phone calls, e mails and text . A huge relief . From that point i managed 2 visits to donington park , 2 to castle Combe a few in pembrey one in rockigham and SPA .. the car was , as always faultless .
In the meantime Ray ( Harrizone) worked wonders , knowing that he frequents Essex . I asked him could he just collect my old
Actuator and post it back to me . I had a phone call the following day with a new actuator on my doorstop within 3 days .
Having had so much fun in my car in the second half of the year . Priorities changed slightly . A new plan , buy an old dog with a naffed engine , fit the turbo engine into that , get it running right and then swap over . I
Picked up an evolve , £300 with a naffed engine, job done . It was rough around the edges , particularly the rattle canned wing but solid where it mattered . The winter project begun

The installation went well . A few hiccups trying to fit the heat shielding to the inner tunnel . Boy it’s a tight fit . We tried welding some bolts to the tunnel so we could then hold the heat shield on with washers and nuts cut back tight . That was a no go , not even 13 mm clearance between the actuator and turbo to the tunnel . So a few layers and self adhesive gold heat wrap and matting in place .
Big Pete (RX8OC) had also bought a turbo one for breaking so I borrowed that just to check all turbo pipes were the same , the turbo kit on that car was highly modified and not 100% complete so was no help at all . So , we followed the Greddy installation and cracked on .
After a few turns of the key , boom, it started . I was quite shocked but more relieved . It was ticking over at 2500 rpm and there was no response from the throttle . Bugger , we let it warm up to temp and turned it off . Check all vac lines , intercooler pipes etc but all seemed fine . Much head scratching and Grayham ( my Nr 1 helper / associate ) says throttle re set , try that . Ignition on , hold throttle flat to floor for 10 seconds . Turn key and that was it , tick over is quite low and the throttle works fine . Very happy man . I’ll try and add some Vids of it running shorty

That sounds like it wants to go out and rip up the tarmac.

Next step was to get it on a dyno - however , a local track day at pembrey was about the same cost . So , bolted on some PZ dampers and off we went . (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200201/4fda82c422d08aa5c2dedfb1df98632c.jpg)Car sounded great boosting / fluttering etc but that’s was about it .the car revved brilliant until 6800 revs and that was it , it was like a limiter kicking in . Unfortunately when you changed up into the next gear it wasn’t quite catching boost so it was a tad slow until the boost kicked .in , being such a small circuit by the time boost kicked in 4th gear it was time to brake . We persevered for a few hours as on a test day giving it as much death as we could ,just checking water temps etc and it lasted . I had put an afr gauge on passenger side so it could be monitored . (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200201/c699bae1d361d2305732606c0c575408.jpg)As we hit 6800 the afr was bouncing off the scale of over-fuelling. It was a cold day so water temp stayed at 105 which I think is just on the limit , I do have a bigger rad to assist cooling in the summer .
To be honest , if I had put the kit in my track car I would have been most upset as it was at least 5 seconds slower on a 50 second circuit .Probably would have put it back on the trailer after the first outing and sulked for a few days ......
I bought the kit as plug and play however the turbo has been re built with new bigger bits and water cooling added . It never run after the turbo works were done so the map clearly didn’t Suit the works done to the turbo . I started research on rotary specialist to tune the car . Seems like Pip Gardner is the main man . He has looked at the map and there’s a huge fuelling spike at exactly that rev area .
Then after the exchange of a few £££ and a Hand shake the other turbo car I was earlier trying to copy never left my drive . It had all the bits I needed plus more . So turbo one was parked under the car port for a bit . This car hadnt seen daylight for 5 years just parked in a garage as the owner had lost interest without adequate room to work on it .
Will try and update the rest more frequently

Not on that one Clive it hasn’t moved . Attention quickly shifted to the other one which I bought . It had everything but the way it was fitted , had it been involved in an accident it could have been fatal .(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200203/872b57483510b25fd27832ab3343ee1a.jpg)
So we got to work , stripping everything back, pipes , hoses and new Hose clips , tightening bits pretty much everywhere and putting back together . This took a while (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200203/c7b27cb326872e5111e0cbe70e54fb45.jpg) we had a full cage , new seat mounts and much more to fit . It started straight away and sounded amazing https://youtu.be/6MFDluvcDmU
PIp Gardner was at a temporary home but he fitted us in .
What a nice guy , mapped it conservatively at 280 fhp snows happy

Over the last 20 odd years Pip has become a mate and he knows I make no secret that with the map he has built over a period of time, he is responsable for a lot of the race cars success. Started out with 380 and ened up with 520 on the same engine :great:,
I say all this because I was going to recomend him, but you have found him already. ;)

So , took it for a blast at pembrey a while back . The drive was totally different to standard car much more pull through all the gears . One problem , the brakes were awful , pretty much none existent after about 8 laps . Not sure if the car has had dot 5 silicone stuff fluid in it before , not sure if there is a way of checking either ?????
Would anyone on here know ???
. There was blue fluid in it and not sure what it was . We bled them loads , no air bubbles just a clean run through .
Not to lose the day I persevered , doing 6or 7 laps and coming in for a cool down . It was entertaining throwing it in to a tight low speed corner a bit too fast and having the power to slide out of them . So had a bit of fun . (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200215/eebe144d5f3d6e79f4292ee3bdf8c816.jpg)
If you have a look at rear wheels and follow the black lines back you can see it’s on full power slide there I loved it .
The downside was that with the Greddy kit being around 10 mm from the tunnel and pretty much where your left foot sits . It got rather hot , well very hot .
I had envisaged this so I had previously bought two plumbers heat maps , doubled them up and shaped an alu plate over them which was riveted in place . No good , it still melted my trainer by lunch time
After lunch , I started the car and it sounded a bit blowy , further Investigation showed two of the manifold studs were loose . That must have been the only component I never checked on the whole car . So loaded it up and home we went
. So in short , the Greddy turbo kit is a cracking bit of kit which if cooled correctly works great for a road going car .
However after 15 mins of half quick driving and melting my shoe I don’t think it’s up for the full on track day abuse it would be receiving from me ..... damn shame but hey ho I’ve learned a lot .
So it’ll be going up for sale soon ......
will keep one for my PZ and move the other one on .
I have been thinking about a Lexus V8 conversion but after a lot of reading it completely messes up the balance of the car being so front heavy . Ideal for drifting but not track days .
After months of reading clive’s race car project I think that’s the safest and best option
Next step REW conversion , This won’t be rushed , with many 2nd hand bits being used .I’m lucky that i have my standard engine track car I can still use whilst I start sourcing bits .......
just need a new best friend
called Clive for advice lol

After lunch , I started the car and it sounded a bit blowy , further Investigation showed two of the manifold studs were loose . That must have been the only component I never checked on the whole car . So loaded it up and home we went
. So in short , the Greddy turbo kit is a cracking bit of kit which if cooled correctly works great for a road going car .
However after 15 mins of half quick driving and melting my shoe I don’t think it’s up for the full on track day abuse it would be receiving from me ..... damn shame but hey ho I’ve learned a lot .
So it’ll be going up for sale soon ......
will keep one for my PZ and move the other one on .
I have been thinking about a Lexus V8 conversion but after a lot of reading it completely messes up the balance of the car being so front heavy . Ideal for drifting but not track days .
After months of reading clive’s race car project I think that’s the safest and best option
Next step REW conversion , This won’t be rushed , with many 2nd hand bits being used .I’m lucky that i have my standard engine track car I can still use whilst I start sourcing bits .......
just need a new best friend
called Clive for advice lol
