Changed alignment to be more understeer, but car still wont drive as fast.
Переглядів 12114 днів тому
So i went to change alignment to be more understeer, hoping that i will be able to get into turn with 70km/h like i did before, but this did not happen. I need to stiff suspension now to check if i will be able to drive faster. Tires are almost same eagle f1 after 2.5h of driving they still have threading, but sides are grinded to support so they need to retire :V
Alignment done, cooland degradeted so much i could not drift full lap

Alignment is done to much oversteery this will be corrected, beside this i need to change cooling fluid. Tires are almost same eagle f1 i had burning for a month now (sick!), i wrote almost because one tire was better to be retired, but i had waiting spare from may event.

I bought used oem and it is in car to this day. Tho if you are in us on rockauto or sth like that there is avaliable timken, and from what i had found those were mounted in rx8 in factory fyi.

    • @programmerasmechanic2262
      @programmerasmechanic2262 Рік тому

      From every source that i found it is one inacurate, two inconsistant. Because in service manual we have letters f-y and 5 avaliable precut seal size, we have 4 letters per one side seal size, from what i remember but dont quote me on this one, because i might be wrong, between k and t marks there is 0.3mm difference, since normal fitment would be 0.15mm it is realy bad fitting. But i assume i do not remember correctly as between k and t is 2 sizes. But whatever. Either way you can buy precut seals, but if you want consistancy on compression and working you buy oversize and grind Youself. To precision of 0.01-0.02mm There is also issue of avaliability some shops offer only precut, then for consistancy you buy longest and grind it since v w x y appear so rarely that in some manuals they do mot exists. Or shop have only oversize, if that shop will have best deal on whole kit you will probably grind it by hand.

    • @programmerasmechanic2262
      @programmerasmechanic2262 Рік тому

      I hope it is not to late but from any other automatic you should not remove torque converter from transmission, so there should be access to bolts either from starter or intake side. Starter is in different position and plugs on gearbox should be different, so i expect 1h more job. Or worse way would be to pull it with gearbox then there is no care within connectors and cramming in little place to get few bolts out.

There been very little swaps in rx8 that managed to fit engine in there but whenever anybody pulls that subject, i usually get my info that they cutted body and carry away..

But on american forums, people claim that going over stock 9k you should ballance assembly. Mixed answers to same question, maybe in us there are more poeple like Rob Dahm says it "thay will sell you sh*t you dont need to make x hp". Maybe it will be something different. If this youtube channel will grow (assuming from my work putted into this it will not be fast) it will all depend on how much money i would like to pump to wierd experiments. Because to test this properly, i should build 3 engines. Buy either mazdaedit or standalone and retune it myself and seeing when engine will start to be unballanced.

      @@programmerasmechanic2262 Japanda Tuning did alright with just basic how-to videos, buyers guides, etc. UA-cam changed dramatically over last few years, so “going viral” is much more difficult for people starting channels now. As for balancing, I think it is very important for high revs and cars being driven aggressively, but even useful for daily drivers. Mazda quality throughout the RX-7 production was very good. I think a uality dropped during RX-8 production. By quality, I mean tolerances and variances in specs for parts. This is just anecdotal - very limited experience, but I’d rather check.

      Sorry for answering this one late, but i just last week found it and had to check few things Not only buildup is not as much problem when engine have proper flow and temperature, if you are willing to use some thing from your comment to be fitting here, i siggest using oil dedicated for gpf and dpf, those will be suited to burn more cleanly. But other parts of comment… oil quality is not always better than 40 years ago, and in case of rx8 20year old dexelia is still same elf oil that was created then. Additionally oil viscosity here in rotary is basically your barier between e-shaft and bearing. And in case that we use such tolerances that 20w60 does not cause issues i would suggest to use better fitted oil. But if you are willing to do rebuilds all the time be my guest, i really did this as information, not to force you to use x, and if you do and will claim rotaries are bad unreliable etc. remember that you did your research and avoided what is there
