Since Kostas is unable to respond (don't know why actually, I'm just guessing), I'll let you in on the small details:
Things done:
- Very generous porting of the Renesis
- Greddy turbo kit
The engine is rather beaten up, in the sense that it was never properly broken-in, and has endured Christ's torments
The car dynoed (at 0,7bar) 299HP and 39Kgm of torque at a DynoPack
The specific video was recorded at Kartodromio, which is a rather small/narrow track, mainly for go-karts. Ideal of course for drifting

Compare this to the other 5 stock RX8 Cosmo (6ports) that attended, which dynoed at 210,217,222,224 and 226HP respectively....
Table with results and dyno charts are posted in the Greek RX8 Club forum, so I could give you the link to the thread, but you wouldn't make much out of it.....it will all be Greek to you

What psi is the turbo running? The vid is VERY impressive, but numbers aren't for a port. If its running a low psi with that power then thats pretty nice, but if the psi is like 11-12 on the GReddy, then I don't think the port was that benefitial unless there was some strengthening done at the same time.

That is the word that Kostas (owner and OP) used when he described the work done on this engine....I haven't actually seen the port job, so I will not go under oath.....maybe I'll let Kostas clear things up when he posts again...

I don't mind pistons
Well, since he said that stock rx8's were dynoed at "210,217,222,224 and 226HP" I would say that the 300hp is overrated, unless I missunderstood something.

Hmmm. Car is gorgeous. I can't watch the vid at work though. I was thinking, however, that since the Greddy does not flow a lot and tends to be a great low RPM kit (where you actually want the smaller ports for higher velocity), how does the higher engine flow effect the intake temps? Are you using the block off plate? Is it holding boost to redline? Soooo many questions.
