If they tune a stock engine NA car to 215 rwhp you should definitely go for the fireworks that will follow shortly...



I might be interested in a dyno day. Very dependent on SCCA racing and CDC autoX schedules.

You really think a NA renesis can not achieve 215rwhp? I mean if a all stock can do 180-185rwhp 215 is not that much of an increasement.

Besides having a good tune, mid pipe, high flowing exhaust, upgraded ignition, and either revi/AEM what else would be needed to at least get close?

200whp is a very strong rx8.

215whp is really damn incredible.

225whp are the race rx8s.

im not saying its not possible. im saying if there is a shop in md that can do 215whp, sign me up.

I have found a few that fit my standards....but I don't have the money for them right now...

if youre going to paint it lightning yellow, you should try to save up for a v2. I don't know of any LY series 2's yet. (might be cost-prohibitive, though)

LY hasnt been made since 04. I doubt their ever bringing it back.... Its a shame. But yeah getting a series 2 is the best bet. I'm really intereested in how the long the engine will last with the new mechanical changes.

Yeah I was considering getting a series 2 BB would be the best bet for painting it yellow.

But if I can't get that, I may get a crystal white....or WWP (whichever white if for series 2 lol)....and get rims that offset the lack of colour...
