Clive's 400 BHP Super GT RX-8 Race Car

Is the LIM a 4 branch fed from 2 throttle bodies? Or 4 branch from 1?

Just off out but there is a picture back on this thread where the clutch pictures are

IT LIVES, it starts, it revs and keeps on revving, looks like NO more limp mode and up n running.

Now it feels like we are getting there, between Jon (Boosted) working out how to tell the OMP lies with the wiring and me wiring back in the MAF sensor and fitting it in the intercooler pipe before the throttle body  IT LIVES

[Will66]

Niiiiice work!  How did you fool the OMP and is it still pumping oil?

[Casey]

^^ What Will asked and PHEW, massive relief to hear that\'s one more "snagging fault" sorted!

[clive]

We fooled the OMP by joining the white and red wires together in the big OMP  plug and gave it a false feed (lied to it) need to pull a pipe off to check feed but that\'s not an issue if its not because its going to be pre-mixed

[Will66]

Interesting!  I\'d be interested to know if there\'s any flow through the OMP but it\'s a neat trick to fool it.

Stupid question: What is OMP?

Good job guys!
Clive, and where is the video? We need videos

Oil Metering Pump. What controls the injection of oil for lubricating the apex seals.

Premix ing is far superior as you aren\'t using dirty engine oil inside your engine.

[Will66]

You can run an OMP with a device called a Sohn adapter which takes oil from an external tank rather than the engine\'s oil system.

The 2 red with white tracers are a 12v feed and by joining them (as they are effectively the same feed joined further back in an original loom)and supplying a suitable fused supply from a power feed the OMP would run and this in turn would trigger the open switch which would output a 12V signal to the PCM and hence not go into limp. In should be pumping oil no problem.
 
Because Clives loom has been modified and all port actuators removed these are fed from same power feed and would be very difficult to try and find this within the race loom. So it was deemed appropriate to feed the omp directly with a fused power lead.
 
Now can we have a video of the beast revving!!!!:burnout

[Grant Monkhouse]

Video or ban, it\'s your choice Clive:) hehe

[clive]

Won\'t be for a while I\'m afraid, I have no idea on how but others will later,

Still desperatly trying to get the car to Brands where I booked and paid for, even if its only to drone around getting some miles on the engine

I\'m sure video will come then.

When will Jay do the final map on it, you do know Clive it will be well over 400bhp, you gonna have to turn the boost down give the others on track a chance lol

[Grant Monkhouse]

They will never know what power level he\'s at on the track will they unless they dyno the car immediately before and after a race.

[BlitzBoy]

so how do they (race organizers) monitor power levels in certain race series where power levels are in the rules?
