Anyone going to that Deal's Gap rotary rally?

https://www.rx8club.com/deals-gap-rotary-rally-111/dgrr-2008-offical-list-attendees-130025/

I'm planning a trip up to TN/NC/VA that weekend, so the wife and I may stop by and check it out.

 

suggestions on a logger?

 

+1

 

Google crecorder--very interesting ob2 data collector(x 24 hrs) for $80.00

 

Stage 2 with stock ECU reflashed (February 19, 2008 install by Pettit)
This chart shows a funny dip in the curve, I have spoke with another local owner who does not have this dip.
My blower drive belt was also loose in this run, I suspect it was causing the dip @~6k
Or, it may have been the Citgo gas I was forced to stop for on the way there.
(Claimed to be 93 octane)
I will post another chart later, when I can afford (and make time for) another dyno charge.
This chart is NOT an official chart from Pettit.
I found this Dyno near where I live. ($80.00 for two pulls)
And no I did not let them spin my lil baby to 9K while stationary; though I do "shift at the 9K beep" many times when driving.

 

APV opens up 2 additional ports at 6000 rpm. You usually see a dip at those point.

Are you MT or AT?

 

2007 Sport 6 speed MT

 

Java,

Thanks for sharing. Excuse me for asking, and my ignorance, but where is the other fiffy horsepower? I thought this unit was touted as 300? Perhaps the last 1000 RPM I guess.

Cheers,

This post has nothing to do with the hp#. I just wanted to point out the obvious belt slippage. Not only is it consistently losing boost above 6k, the boost prior to that is inconsistent as well.

 

there is ~1 psi boost increase at 6,200 rpm, and that's the point where the hp/tq drop and afr's increase.

run #2 seems solid. No weird jumps at 4k rpm

 

is that a brown stain I see up your arm Hymee ?

 

I have stage 2, not the Stage 2 CS, my CAT is still the stock one.
The 307 HP was with a high-flow CAT.
Still 253 on a bad day, is not that bad.
Mazsport is shipping me a dual resonated cat-less mid-pipe soon.
Betsey; Mazsport...... Please soon.....
After I replace the exhaust I will trot on down and pay for a new dyno run.

Any thoughts on a meet with a dyno? (I can has group rate?)

 

brotherz racing in tampa charges $30 a pull. Or you can go by the hour for around $100/hr. You can also try titan motorsports up in orlando, I think they had a dyno machine there, but don't know for sure.

If you need more places, go to maps.google.com, search for businesses, type in racing, and start calling the matches nearby.

 

The DynoJet website has a list, that is where I found the last one:
DynoJet Dynos

 

I did NOT pull any fuses when I dyno'd the car.
I have since learned there is a fuse under the hood that MUST be pulled on the RX8 to get a correct reading.

 

I never pulled any fuses. Just disable traction control.

 

Yeah, pulling fuses isn't necessary.

What might be happening is you are reaching the end of the calcLoad range and the PCM is trying to do its torque-limit routine.
No way around that but a reflash, though.

I've never had the TSC/DSC/ABS interfere with a dyno run and I've pulled the fuses to see if anything improved, which it did not.

 

I now have the Racing beat cat-back, with the Mazsport dual resonated cat-less mid-pipe.
My car is too lean till I can get the thing tuned/flashed, but I am making 296 RWHP for now.
As far as the lean out, my solution is going to be LOT'S of Methanol for now. LOL
I will need to try some new injectors soon to get MO GAS going in.

 

dynojet?

 

what a/f's are you getting? Are you data collecting?

Will post a scan later.

 

HI !

Waiting for your scan...pettit products looks so impressive.

 

^I'm confused

 

Sorry for the delay.
I will make data captures at the dyno meet on August 3rd in Kissimmee.
The dyno graph and the data capture should be nice.

I hope to have Snow Performance's Nitro-Booster by then as well.
