Hm..if porting can be done, I'd rather do that than go FI.

I had no intentions of going FI, but it's another source of power. A source that I heard had no potential in doing so.

where's rg?

very nice. That car is a straight-up pimp. Keep your pimp hand heavy.....

I'm interested the turbo you are running. Straight up GReddy? Modified GReddy? Custom? Please, fill us in.

Ok I’m back on earth now
I thought that you knew what a ported turbo rx8 can do.
I can not believe that no one else hasn’t done that successfully.
Anyway let me try to answer your questions as much as my English allowed me.
The rims are 19” Work meister S1 as Derex'8 said with new (in the video) bridgestone 265/30/19 rear and 235/35/19 front tires.



Greddy sp2 exhaust with an empty canzoomer cat for the moment since it past away from the first hour that this motor starts.



The turbo kit is a used 05 Greddy kit I found with the blue emanage tuned on the road first and then at the dynamometer. The followed dyno is the final result after 1 ½ hour and 40 runs with a really hot hot HOT engine.



In that chart parallel appears an other turbo Rx8 (the most powerful since now in that dynamometer) NOT ported.
The car dynoed at 0,6 – 0,62 bar (not 0.7 that was overboost)
Everything else in that motor is stock.
