I Like Your Old Brap Better Than Your New Brap

I thought they might have been discontinuing the 13B and focussing on the 1.6 litre rotary - only my assumption based on the low volume they produce though. If they do bring out a turbo rotary powered car that weighs about as much as the FT86 it should be pretty popular - considering how popular the FT86 is and it is probably a little underpowered. Could be pricey though.

so, 300hp from a 4.8l motor?

lame.

and doubt they will do a turbo model.

ONE of the reasons the rx8 never saw a turbo, was due to the fact they couldnt make it meet the euro emissions.

I've never understood why people get so excited about a car company reviving a model ages after it was canned. people get all excited and then butthurt when it's nothing like the original. of course it's going to be nothing like the original. Times have changed. sure it may loosely resemble the original, but it isn't going to be the same as what it was. no-one would buy it if it was. essentially the rx7 never died, it just got rebadged as the rx8. just like nissan reviving the pulsar name. it never really got canned, three name just got changed to tida.

was interesting to read that it is going to cost more than something like a 370z, so it is probably not going to sell that well.

did you know the rx8 has the gearbox at the back :woot:

i just found out today

I didn't.

:blink:

Nothing beats an old 1st gen RX-7 with a bridgeport and bib pipes.

I am "not allowed to own one" because I "love" my neighbours. (According to my girlfriend, I don't like annoying other people - it's not like I TRY to annoy people by owning an RX7 with a 5 minute warmup symphony.)

I want my old 1st gen back.

:(

I says f**k the neighbors :D, I love my series 3 rx7 with a 13b massive bridgeport 3" straight through exhaust with a varex that only gets used when there's some pork around, it's lovely how when I get home at 3am and you see all the houses in the street light up haha lol.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
