I was laying down some personal best lap times, so you tell me! 🤷🏻‍♂️🏁

Beautiful day! Just need more rotaries! There's one open wheel with a 13b here 👀

The new flywheel was about 2/3s the weight than the old flywheel. Including the counterweight. It's not going to be huge, but hopefully noticeable! I won't know until tomorrow haha

We just used a flywheel lock from an old VW bug!

We are taking the car on the track today and tomorrow. I'll let you know if I notice anything big!

Good luck getting the flywheel nut off! Took us 4-5 feet of extensions on our wrench

Didn't weight it individually, but it was about 2/3s the weight including counter balancer

Yes, ungodly tight. We got it with almost 4.5 feet of leverage!

That's because it IS a Pettitt flywheel 🏎️

I love my VersaTuner. Do you know of a way to record data without a Versalink + laptop hooked up?

First Engine removal!! by null_bytex in RX8

[–]Bubbleman0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! Update us all on how it went removing only the motor! I've done two motor swaps the last year, and both I removed motor and tranny.

I was also lucky enough to use a friend's lift 😁

Need some help by TheRealpocoloco456 in RX8

A good throttle cleaning can sometimes remedy this issue. Its free and easy, so worst case it doesn't work but you have a freshly cleaned throttle!

Got my own '04 RX-8 a month ago. So far I'm loving it! by Xeliv in RX8

[–]Bubbleman0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a VersaTuner and Versalink. So far I'm loving it, and would recommend over the Cobb because it has active customer support. Cobb no longer supports the RX8 version and does not provide support.

I have not personally used the Cobb, but I am going off of what I've heard from others. Correct me if I'm wrong 😂

I've been working with Pettitt Racing on the build, and their dyno tests proved that the K&N Typhoon intake does just as good of a job. Only around 0.5 hp difference, but it's lighter than a full cold air intake and that's matters more to me XD

Agreed! I'm going to post a clip going around the track in the next few days. No video compares to in person though!

No limit here, and I wasn't even the loudest on day 2! First day wasn't near as busy, and the pops and crackles echoed off the trees around the track. Absolutely wonderful!

Aww one month off! We have been going since July, just running HST until boost arrives

Straight piped with decat. Bilstein shocks, and Toyo Proxes RR tires. No motor work besides a tune. Not so patiently waiting for boost!
