RX-8 after greddy turbo install, hesitation problems
Video of issues I am having after turbo install. Car has been through 7 exchanges of maps with MM (Mazda Maniac) and he couldnt see the issues I am having DURING the specified logs he requests. I sent him a Standard driving log like this, and he is working on helping me with a solution.
RX-8 Rotary decarb part 1
Decided at 25,000 miles, it was time for a decarb. Used seafoam rather than Mazda's cleaner. I placed two tubes in the can of seafoam, and ran each line to a separate vacuum port, so I could do both rotors at the same time rather than separately. After sucking up all the seafoam, let it sit for a little over an hour. Then I put a cup of Idemitsu in the empty seafoam can, used the two tubes again, to help lube the rotary chambers during initial startup.
Afterwards, low end torque seems improved, and throttle response is way up, most notably when starting out from a stop. No bogging down, other than when I clutch poorly ;). Idle is PERFECT. While idling, there's no vibration from the engine whatsoever. Like new.
And as expected, the check engine light came on afterwards, and stayed on for about a day before going out.
Update 03.08.12: Some have questioned how well the Catalytic Converter has held up after the seafoam cleaning.. First off, 14,000 miles later, it appears to be fine. No power loss or other symptoms of a failed cat. However, that doesn't mean that the life of the cat hasn't been shortened. Looking back, I should have disconnected the cat before this procedure, and will do that in the future, and would advise anyone else with a cc and doing this procedure to do the same thing.
For those that have questioned whether or not I should have introduced seafoam into the engine at all: Mazda has a decarb procedure of their own, using a product similar to seafoam.
