As some of you might know, I went from rx8 to evo IX.
I just wanted to share the new dyno number that I got today.

347whp/340wtq from baseline of 248whp/252wtq.
That is with only downpipe, testpipe, catback, boost controller, intercooler, and tune. The car won't stop pulling and I must say I'm happy as a dog.

so are you trying to make everyone as jealous as sin?

anyway, those are some crazy numbers for some crazily minor mods... congrats.

cjkim

ooooh ooooh........ I hope Ike and steiner got their circle jerk invitations.

Yaay! where's the dyno?

evilbada

I just got it dynoed today and my cam is at my office.
I will take some pics of the dyno sheet on monday and post it.

I'm a member in dcevoclub as well. In fact I am a student at university of maryland.

I like both rx8's and evo's look, but in different perspective.
Rx8 has more refined, sexy appearance whereas evo IX has aggressive appearance.
Well this has been gone over many times on this board..subjective I guess.
Just wanted to share the numbers that's all.
I dont' mean to start another 'evo looks ugly thread'

lol you serious? what lot do you park in? i rarely take my G to campus but i have a black one and park in lot 2 or lot 1 most of the time

evilbada

G35?
Well, I'm a part time student now and only take classes after 4pm so there's no need for me to pay for parking.

playdoh43

yep, i just post here cause my old roomate and a really cool girl friend of mine and another friend all have rx8s.

Forced Induction does help also

Ike

Depending on what manufacturer he used for the parts, less than 2k.

evilbada1

For personal preference, I spent a little more. But I dont' really care.
I could've spent less than 1.5k and be where I am but I spent close to 2.8k to be where I am. Like I said, personal preference.
anyhow,,here's the dyno sheet. I was off on the torque number by 2 ft/lbs.

So you are the one that started this thread there:

some insecure rx8 owners..
Dec 27, 2005, 12:06 PM #1
I'm just wondering how many evo owners here basically puke on the thread that has to do with different cars.
I've made a thread at rx8club.com about me switching from rx8 to evo a while back, and some of the responses that I get are just plain ignorant.
You guys do that to rx8 thread also?

Here's the thread by the way.
I didn't think it would be such a long thread.

Nice numbers but that thing is ugly i would of got the 2007 evo thats what im waiting for

evilbada1

And your point is?
I opened thread about trading my rx8 in for evo9.
And some of the responses that I got were totally ignorant.
I didn't point at every rx8 driver. I was pointing at SOME rx8 drivers who were
insecure. My thread over at this forum closed, and that thread over at evom.net has been buried for a long time.
I dont' know what you are trying to accomplish by bringing that up.
Maybe you were one of those who gave me an ignorant comment.

thanks ike and bada, that's a pretty good return on your investment! 2+grand for almost 100 hp/tq over stock, must be nice

evilbada1

Thank you and you're welcome.
