Hp?
OK so i was wondering what is the most HP you can gain from your 8 with it still be practical...
I'm talking just the basic stuff like how much can you gain from intake ,exhaust and maby some other stuff. and who has the most horsepower on this forum or fastest track time, etc... I'm trying to get a check list going of what i will be buying performance wise... so far i have (any suggestions would be helpful) 1. Cobb tuner 2. intake 3. exhaust (don't know what brand i don't want a rice pipe) |
ap and catless midpipe are all you need for power gains.
everything else is fluff. most you can hope for is close to 200 whp. You can't get much higher without FI |
Not much.
Assume you have 100% VE in all RPM's (basically impossible; but assume you have the perfect NA engine) then do this math : VFR100% = [(Disp)(RPM)]/ 3456 or 1728 rotary 80 cu in * 9000 / 1728 = 417 CFM VFRactual = (VFR100%)(VE) assume 417 still for best case MFR = [(2.703)(PAmbient)(VFR)]/[TAmbient + 460] MFR = 31 lb min air at 80 degrees F. Horsepower = (MFR)(60)/(A/F Ratio)(BSFC) = about 248 Crank HP at 9000 RPM with a BSFC of .60 and an AFR of 12.5. So the best you could ever do (theoretically) is 248-ish; and if you get 232 stock.... you figure it out. |

^ I think you linked to the wrong one. This clip is much better:

Yeah prolly - but I just like seeing the 4th gear pull where I am at the end of the run before Paul is even at 4500 RPM.... LOL

Assuming a VE of 100% - which at 9000 RPM I am SURE you will not have.
So if you move from a VE of 60% to a VE of 65% (with your mods); then you will have more power; then you have to factor in drive train losses ( don't forget loss of unsprung weight; etc) - all kinds of stuff to get your Wheel HP number..... but the only way to get to that level of detail is a lot of dyno time. |
hmmm... intresting
i will probably go turbo... one day... haha iv seen a lot of videos on youtube of turbo rx8's im just trying to figure out the max hp i could get out of an rx8... any one know how far the tuning limits go as far as N/A...? |
Yes; a VE of 100% (or JUUUUUST over 100%).
Go for it. |
just go turbo u wont regret

If you want a max powah NA rx-8 you need: Cobb AP, Ignition, intake, midpipe, exhaust, & flywheel |
AP ignition and Midpipe should be good for around 210, the others add up to the other 10, and a couple more if you delete AC...
|
teamrx8 has a $1000 german built DTM spec cat.
if you want to stay legal and want the benefits of a mid pipe, be prepared to shell out the cash. |
Racing Beat REV 8 exhaust and Mazsport catless midpipe raised my horsepower by 40 RWHP over the stock exhaust.
But then, I have a Pettit S/C .....:lol: |
