RX8 Tuning

Ok, Correct me if i'm wrong but, The Rx8 natrually runs rich, one reason to extend the life of the Catalytic converter and also to cool off the engine am i right. Well if you were to use the SAF-C or tune the engine to run it leaner, it'll add a little more power right? well wouldnt that also endanger the engine as well, because of the lack of fuel, would the engine run hotter temperatures?

It's been done with the e-manage. You'll gain power, which naturally means the engine will run a bit hotter, but really you'll just reduce the life of the cat somewhat.

Probably.....

A guy named Canzoomer figured that out in July 2003, you can do a "search" and read all about his research - it's about 200 pages of good solid technical info.

We are pretty slow here, nobody tunes their cars, nobody uses fuel computers - please bear with us.
