    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    Update : Just came back from a test drive on a windy road. Wanted to test viability to see if the eSC is actually worth having in this scenario. 1/ Still on cheaper batteries so I expect improvement once the new ones arrive. 2/ Was able to drive hard on and off the boost for about 10 mins before...

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    Thanks maticulus. I actually do heaps of turbo tuning for these cars so am well versed on the nuances of getting the maf sensor setup right. I knew it would be a challenge to tune the way I have it, but seeing as I'm a tuner, I thought I'd give it a crack. The are some advantages to having it...

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    No BOV - no strange noises so far so don't think I need one at this boost. Main challenge is getting batteries good enough to hold voltage over an entire pull. Hopefully these new CNHL9500 90c jobs do the trick. Ratio is 14 drive to 18 driven. Just borrowed a device to read max. amps. Was 100...

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    Power gains look like they as I hoped - 57whp up top with 30-40 all the way through. Log was done on a fully charged battery- with new batteries I should get at least this consistently as they become discharged. Red/blue is with eSC at 3.5psi Green/yellow is the stock engine before SC was fitted.

    RX8 Renesis Rotary eSC

    Had been interested in doing this for years but It wasn't till I came across Alex's videos that I was inspired to give it a try. However, I'm not interested in drag racing, I wanted a system suited for everyday practical use. So I had some challenges to achieve that but do now have a working...

    Electrified from Jersey

    The fastest spooling turbos in the world .... Borgwarner EFR series 8374 or 9180 with a twin scroll housing. Why add complexity when you can just change the turbo?

    Is TorqueAmp financially comparable to DIY?

    Having experimented with lipo batteries and a DC-DC charger along with having to figure out how to control everything .... I'd love to know what Torque amp are doing WRT control of the charger/what charger to use/maintenance of the batteries/making it all practical. I can now see the value of...

    Turning on the motor from an ESC

    I asked a guy at my local hobby shop about this. He did some digging and came up with this : https://instrumentinabox.com/product/two-position-servo-controller/ So I bought one and am happy to report that it works perfectly. Even tried it out working in close proximity to my lipo batteries -...

    Another Kiwi diving in at the deep end

    Hi , I'm from New Zealand. I've been messing with turbos for years and when I stumbled on Alex's videos I was inspired to have a go at fitting an eturbo to one of my Rx8s. Know very little about the electrical side of things but have learned a lot from watching the videos and reading up on here.
