@@Maxst33le the exhaust ports are a restriction and also create too much heat in that spot on the irons and contribute to water seal failure on the housing
Patiently waiting for the next video. Picked up a "blown up" 8, only needed coils and runs surprisingly well with even compression. Was originally going to throw my extra ls from my race car but this is inspiring the 78/75 sitting on the shelf lol
Nice to hear you come to my home state of West Virginia. I want to make it to Summit track next summer. It would be cool to meet you at the track sometime.
On 3 psi you can still hear my blow off valves. I would have someone rev it while you're at the valve to verify It's moving. My friend had a few replicas that was duds. Pinched seals not holding pressure and even one that had a pinhole in the seal. Cause then not to open and work normal
Excited to see a reliable turbo RX-8 in the future.
People say the rx8 engines can't handle boost as well as the rx7

@@Maxst33le it’s true. But it can handle a little boost.

The weld, hood fit, grinder, and weld again had me laughing...😂

Nothing is more American than measuring things based on the size of other things 🇺🇲🤟🏻🦅
You should do a vid on some heat shields for the ECU, Batt, hood exit and dump pipe, all with the RP logo in them. 👍
That blow-off valve is non recirculating & is gonna cause tuning issues with a MAF based system.
Great content as usual, Mr. Rad
I love your content. I gotta get mine running. Fuel pulsation damper fire recovery.
i recommend a recirculating valve instead of bov so you can run it back in the MAF this is how subaru turbo there cars stock
great mods 😊...that small oil feed hole,is for ball bearing turbos that don't need as much oil as journal turbos.
You fenna break that engine with that big ass spoolie boy
*My S2 decided to eat some window motor gears, today...*
Fun times. The Turbo XS cat also has a rattle, but it sounds like a ricer so, meh.

Dude that last turbo was neglected, keep the turbo cooled efficiently and it'll last
You are giving me so many ideas
Plus….because it was rad
we need more comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make it sutututu and run a 8psi spring
14:00 I just know his eyes were burning
Heh. Toobs
You should put the bov somewhere else.when you go rallying and bov open you might get sand and stones in there. Rip rotors 😅
whats with the tubes video thing randomly popping up
Pet dog 👍
what are the benefits of a turbo instead of going with a 3 rotor?
Price
