An overall shot of the engine bay

 

A nice 2nd gen done up for drag racing. Didn't get a chance to talk to the owner but apparently he's using Chrispeed's old turbo and puts down just over 400rwhp. The turbine side was VERY small however, so I'm a doubting thomas on that one. It was about as big as a small grapefruit or large orange! Compressor side was much larger. Overall a good looking car and he's obviously put a lot of love into it.

 

Just the engine bay

 

Last one...RX8 on the dyno w/GReddy exhaust. Guess what it made? 180hp like every other car out there. The a/f ratios were in the 11.6 and richer range. Leaning it out to 12.5 should be good for an easy 20hp.

 

 

nice .....wha city was this in?

 

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and thereabouts :-)

 

Very cool, not sure if I like all the rotor decal deals, but there are some nice looking cars.



thanks for pics

 

looks like a great turnout.... better than our 0 degree F meet last friday

 

do you have a pic of yourself?? I showed up late, and was swapping hoods with a guy so I wasn't even able to see all the cars before we went to speedsource.



Speedsource was heaven btw. like 8 2nd gen its cars sitting around 3 st rx8's 2 ford road cars for the 24 hour race. Seriously, i was speachless. Got an up close and personal look at the renisis missing half the intake which was cool. They redesigned the oil injectors to have two that dump directly into the housings right beside each other. I'd love to put one in my n/a whenever it get's rebuilt.



I wonder if the change to side housing exhaust ports has made the car quieter because, i was standing next to the rx8 when he revved it, and I swear my car is louder. All he had was a small borla muffler on it??



Great time tho, wish I would've gotten there earlier.
