Just a heads up for you, that is not the Speed source RX8, It is the #40 Dempsey Racing(Hypersport) RX8...I would know, I worked on that car all of last summer

Gracias. I'll fix my description. Thanks homie. I really should have known that. I've only spent half the summer around those cars at the track...
 
Ok so today I went and bought my carbide cutting bits and some stones and I started the port work on the intake ports...

Well I got them done quick but now it will just be some time to et them nice and smooth.. They are about 80% done.. All the cutting is done.. just more with a soft stone..

Pics to come later
 
Ok Pictures loaded quicker then I thought...

Here we go..

Sorry pics are so big.. G1 cant downsize pics..

anyways as u can see on the front/rear irons there is not much to remove..
on the intermediate irons WOW.. thats was alot of cutting..

I used a S5 T2 medium street port template form www.PineappleRacing.com
 
the intermediate ports look great.

i want to do a full 13b-re swap into mine, but i don't know if i will ever do it. we will see.
 
Pics are f*cking huge... Use VSO Image resizer to make them smaller. It's free and easy to use..
 
Yeah I got a new program on my phone... hopefully the pics will be smaller next time... or I can take more and then update it who knows...
 
Ok I received the items above from Pineapple racing..

still awaiting my FD stay gears and FEED flywheel..

Also after selling my last engine gasket kit.. I bought MY KIT today lol...
 
How light is it? And also, I can't recall, but are you doing something with any high overlap on the motor like a bridgeport?

B
 
OK so yesterday I ported my exhaust housings.. I got about 90% done and ran out of sanding stones lol... so within the next few days I will finish up my last housing..

I also put the freeze plugs in the coolant jackets on the rotor housings yesterday..

all I need is for the following to show up.

FD frt/rear stationary gears (on the way)
RE lim/uim/tb and elbow (on the way)
SS brake lines (on the way)

I dont think I have anything else in limbo right now.. I do need to decided on either SOLID motor mounts or to use the mazdaspeed competition mounts or the Banzai-racing urethane mounts.
 
the 'last' housing?

maybe I have the terminology wrong, but are you saying the exhaust housing, or are you saying a third rotor housing??? =D
 
exhaust port.. there is 2 rotor housings..

I have 1 all done I am about 90% done with the other just need to polish it and finess it with a sanding stone.
