Racing beat has dash guage kits that work great and fairly easy to install. I got the one that replaces the ash tray: Coolant temp, oil pressure, oil temp
Ive got 2 glowswitch digital guages for temp/pressure. Im able to monitor water oil temp oil pressure and fuel pressure. As well as obd2 on my phone for some extra stats. I did the fusebox set up
212 isn’t very high. I’ve had multiple Renesis up to 240 without any coolant or compression issues. I’d pull over at 220 and shut it down at 230 personally.
Seconded, I took my car out on track and it was holding 205-215 for the most part, even with upgraded cooling parts. I also eased off at 220, shifting at 8000 to 8500 helps keep the car cool at the expense of laptimes
I heard someone used the "HKS camp2 "to show the water and oil temp inside the OEM flip screen and costs around 500. I thought there's already a screen inside the car so why not just let it do something. But HKS only sale them in Euro and Jp... can be bought in eBay. Dont know if that would work on US rx8
Did you ground the temp sensor radiator hose adapter body? They're supposed to be grounded and it is best to use sealant liquid instead of Teflon tape so the sensor body can get that ground from the adapter too.
They are not supposed to be grounded, it is connected to rubber hoses and does not touch the frame anywhere. The ground for the temperature sensor is the black wire
One thing I noticed recently on my RX8 was that whilst on a spirited drive on a particularly hot day I had my air-con on full blast. After a couple of mins I'd noticed the water temp gauge on the dashboard rise up from the standard 1/2 to 3/4 - I'm assuming this is relatively normal when running AC on full? Fortunately I noticed it within a couple of minutes and switched the AC Off - The gauge dropped down to 1/2 again within a minute or so P.S. I live in the UK so weather temps are usually relatively mild. P.S. 2 Followed your channel for years mate. Love the content, keep it up!
If it's the factory gauge... And u went past half..... That's very bad and very hot 🔥.. get a cheap obd2 Bluetooth reader for your phone and monitor it like that. Shows actual temp
I need your help my rx8 shinka almost 15 years running condition and never been fix or became a problem but last week I'm going to work when I'm in a free way my rx8 automatically shout off have a crank but wont start I buy new battery but nothing happen ..what do think become a problem
Where can I get the hose tube thats connected to the coolant reservoir located on the top right going down on the right side of the coolant reservoir? Recently bought an rx8 and that tube is missing
Great videos , however I would really appreciate a video on the VFAD intake system of the Mazda rx8....there are hardly any videos on this area...would like to do a VFAD restoration on my series 2 Mazda rx8....would really like to see what the set up is like on these cars if possible
Nice video, I had a mechanic install a new motor and they put the spark plugs in backwards now my car been sitting for a year now. :( I'm planing on rebuilding soon this I will include .
@@fantaaahh I'm saving up for that Billet Pro, they're a better material. Is it possible to use as a stock motor? I 'm still learning this motor even after ten years lol and this is my first car so I need to get her back on the road soon.
@@JapandaTuning damn I probably have some airflow issues then. On a hot 90F+ day idling at a stop with the AC on, it can get to 110C max. I wonder if my plastic under tray not being perfectly bolted up and plastic clips missing is causing the radiator air flow to be less efficient. Idk what else I can do other than that to lower temps
I had two of those, a 196hp and a 231 hp version and I loved them both so very much but seriously the first and most important mod you can do to them is an engine swap. Put on an rx7 engine or a nonster ls or even an s2k one but renesis will die on you no matter how well you take care of it... Rebuilts are patches (they will never last and don't hear them saying that enchanced apex seal will do wonders, it is a lie), and new wngines are very very expensive

The last video you dropped was at the time I got my rx8. I have been waiting for months for this next video. Thank you!!
Ive rebuild my engine with HD viton coolant seal . They are rated at 120c degrees Celsius
im getting one on Wednesday, I'm so excited
Great video! Buying one soon for my RX8

Oil Pressure via OBD ? Really?
@@dgmdgm7271 no its on the gauge. My phrasing makes it seam like that
I wonder how many viewers both don't own or want an rx8, but still watch the entire video
Im still lurking, he do great content tho

I talked with my rotary mechanic, he said that better option is sensor on racingbeat adapter. Is more accurate.
More information please. Wdym. Sounds interesting.
@@durschfalltv7505 its more accurate.
Its show always temperature, not only when thermostat is open www.racingbeat.com/RX8/Cooling-System/11493.html
@@KarolOpyrcha wtf 40 dollars
But thx man i appreciate. Thinking of 3d designingnit and getting IT cnc'd
@@durschfalltv7505 u can buy KOSO adapter 14mm, its fits perfect. I mounted that in my rx8.
Very nicely done...now you can do them for my racecar.
Have me thinking twice bout buying my first rx8 now😅
very clear and entertaining !
Would you be willing to upload the 3D print to thingiverse?
By $15 OBD2 dongle hook it up to your smartphone via Wi-Fi comes with the air fuel gauge temp and a few other gauges
Yo can we hangout and our rx8s go on a play date?
Can you make a 2jz engine swap for the rx8?
FYI - NEXT Weekend is the race! Hope you can make it!

air pump cat dele aluminum cooler fan start at 87degrees C premix and air intake modified under the grill and you good
No safety Glasses while grinding or soldering? Tisk Tisk, it'll be hard to run track with one eye
yeah should have worn them for the grinding... oops. Never heard of safety glasses for electrical soldering though, that's a new one to me
2:00
"so whats the way to prevent that?"
me: "an aftermarket radiator?"
him: "an aftermarket tempature gauge."
oh.
Look at vp16 tuner get all my water temps from ecu data no wiring needed also gives me tuning capabilities and a dyno
nicely done.
Im gonna have to put the stock suspension on mine, after seeing this one I realize its crazy low lol I have 2 inches of clearance..
Any chance you can share the 3D model for the gauge holder?

Well actually the AC put the electric fans on high so when I go to the track I'll turn the AC on in pit Lane with the heater on and let it cool down

HELP, HELP, what brand and type of water temperature sensor do I need and where can they be purchased ??
STL for the guage pod?! :D
How would you know if the seal might have already been blown when purchasing a RX8?
Hey! about that 3d printed piece, is it possible for you to share the model or something similar?
Trust me, you don't want this model it is terrible. I plan to redesign it later on and then maybe I will post the file
@@JapandaTuning post the design please
