I've been screwed, and I've been blown.

Hi guys!

It has been a while, but Hymee has been up to something, and on the weekend we reached a milestone of sorts.

Thanks to the PhantomMeneSS for the inspiration and encouragment to have a tilt at this massive project.

Great work Hymee, Very tidy and professional as always, lookforward to seeing your step by step manual on how to fit a supercharger to a RX8 in pictures

Any stats you are willing to reveal yet

1/4 Mile
Power
No of cartons consumed in the gestation period
No of sleepless nights thinking about it

Looks like its come a long way since that track day where after 25 or so runs it still didnt break into the 14's. Very nice looking car and now with the performance to boot.

(BTW: do you have a problem if I host those pic's and post em on another forum?? Its not a car forum but there is a lot of interest in the RX8 there atm (OCAU))

Well done Mark. I remember when you first bought the thing. Didn't you say that it was going to stay stock? :stick:

Nice work.

No problems. I guess I should have watermarked the photo's with www.hymee.com or www.performancedesign.com.au :D

I see you are using a Motec ?? A bit pricy ??

It is not done to a point we will dyno it yet. We need to do some more, including fitment of an intercooler so we can tune it more agressively.

I know quite a bit about the Rotormaster one. 6 PSI at high RPM. 1 PSI at low RPM. My current "little" combo is 7 PSI, at whatever RPM you want it :nyuk: The RX-8 needs more low-down grunt IMHO.

Motec. Only the best, most tunable system for now. If we have problems, we know it wont be the ECU. It is the first Motec to be piggybacked with the factory computer on an RX-8 in the world. We are keeping our options open for the future as well.

Cheers,
Hymee.
