Wayne's boosted 8 project

[Mr Spiller]

Are you using the stock FD twin turbos on this project?

Single is the plan
I’m pretty sure I was told that twins don’t quite fit

Yeh I would say they don't fit, I just saw you had the twin turbo manifold and parts in your collection.

The engine came with loads of bits
Not really sure what’s what as yet

Are you going to try keep all the rx wiring and use a DBW throttle of just make the engine standalone?

Grant
I’m not sure what capacity the adaptronic modular has yet .
Plan for the minute is get it sitting in the donor car , which is just an old 192 which has sat down bottom of drive for last 5 years , put on what I’ve got , check it fits
See what I’ve got and do a shopping list .
This will take a while to complete
Oh yeah
And read clives  build again ...........

Soon as you have mede some engine mounts everything should be fairly straight forward.

The fd engine mounts from the rear and the rx8 mounts from the centre

If you are making this a full on racing car then I would honestly just get rid of most of the rx8 crap you can

Stick the Adaptronic part number up Wayne! Ill do some research. Be nice to have working 8 dash cluster etc...Clives is a piggy back Adaptronic works in conjunction with std ecu. Runs everything Rx8 fans hvac dash etc. Then the adaptronic takes care of the engine tuning. Its rather nice and neat.

Not sure about a full race car but full on track car for now
I hope this should sort the mounts
So yeah just keep the best bits from the 8 and bin the rest

Cool...same as Clives i believe. Upto you if you use cable throttle or fly by wire...id use Fly by wire...i know the 8 will go into limp if the throttle is not power cycled by the etv relay after ign 2. Whether the adaptronic ignores that im unsure.
Youll get nice idle!! Retain peddle etc...just gotta make a plenum like Clives.

Now to see what bits are missing from this


Now to find out how much of the firewall needs a slight hammering

Nah this is the modular so standard Ecu is binned

But it plugs into rx8 5 pcm plugs?

Should have explained myself better
Yes it plugs in , but origanal Ecu is binned and it takes its place , no piggy back like I had In T1
To try and work abs etc ( for us novice drivers) is quite difficult as it’s done  in percentages I think rather than real time which the piggy back handled better like the DSC too
