Haha just delete the pics, delete everything you said, get new wheels, then make a new name and you'll be fine.

Ummm... I really have no comment on this thread except to say that you should be running all trailing plugs, with shims in the leading positions.
And CAI does help on a turbo. Instead of sucking in all that hot engine compartment air, a CAI will be sucking in air that is at least
50* colder.
And I don't care what the guy says that you order parts from, you're not getting 347whp. I doubt a GReddy kit can do 347whp even with all the other upgrades. You'll need AT LEAST the MazdaManiac turbo delete or a Mazsport kit.

Why havent i seen any 8's with rear mount turbo? Idk, might be a noob question, but isnt it better for the turbo since its cooler back their? (no engine heat)

Doubt that would work, he'd have to a get a whole new car altogether. I'm sure we will remember this car...:icon_no2:

this post fails worse than the op..

dude, read a round a bit.. not all turbos are in above the motor..

most are mounted on the exhaust header.

beers :beer:

btw,

my avatar lasted, not long..

beers :beer:

its a 6 speed dude, hence the pic and u guys dont like the rims, they are 19 in Konig trouble, maybe it is the pic heres some other ones

did you just buy this car and then some used car salesman told you that you were going to get 347 hp to the wheels? those are all at the dealer pictures which is why i am thinking that. just go get it dyno'd and make sure you have your numbers right before you come on here and tell them to everyone. people here know their stuff and if you're wrong, they are definitely going to call you out on it.

Still not feeling the wheels, sorry. When you get a chance post a scan of your dyno results.

Even then, that will be tough. 347whp is not a cheap or easy thing to do, yet alone gonna happen with a max of 8psi.

I think it'll be easy. I just need to raise the boost level on my boost controller.

Unfortunately for the OP, even if you raise the greddy's boost, you aren't going to be going over 300. Most never see 290.

no these arnt the dealer pics, these are all pics i took and ya im gonna get it to the dyno this weekend and ill post the results

RX8 6 speed with Greddy turbo @ 5PSI
Guess the dyno result competition:

1/ Brettus : 245whp

1/ Brettus : 245whp
2/ MM : 230whp;155tq

1/ Brettus : 245whp
2/ MM : 230whp;155tq
3/ Bastage: 247whp

Oh, I've seen how this works on the price is right. If I was the last person to guess the price, I'd underbid by one.

I say 229 whp.

1/ Brettus : 245whp
2/ MM : 230whp;155tq
3/ Bastage: 247whp
4/ mysql101: 229whp
5/ ME: 229.99whp...

Dig in the playground box a little guys. The average numbers for the kit that have not been tuned and are the base kit is 230whp with 160tq. When mysql originally had his he was running those numbers. The guy hasnt mentioned anything other than a turbo, no int-x or any other engine managements. What do we win.

I did around 255 with the stock int-x map. I suspect there was around a 20 whp gain over the emu (which wasn't dyno tuned), so 230 - 240 sounds about right. But each car is different.

What will you wager?

Can't give a raffle price without knowing the prize. That's how you end up with a fat chick at a blind booty auction in Europe. Don't ask how I know.

Its not a raffle - its a pool.

Doth not negate the possibility that you end up with a fatty...

Don't get me wrong...they need love too...they just have to pay...

Heh...

Actually, you're supposed to over-bid the person you think is closest by 1... (Closest to the actual amount without going OVER wins. :-p

1) Brettus : 245whp
2) MM : 230whp;155tq
3) Bastage: 247whp
4) mysql101: 229whp
5) ME: 228.99whp...

6) ChattyRX8: $1

My, that is a strange horsepower figure!:Wconfused

you may want to redo you bids because i do have turbo but that isnt the only thing i have in the car, there are many mods that i have not listed

Oh did you get the ignition upgraded too?

You get the "super-sleeper" type R kit?

wtf guys what is up with all the stupid ass comments, i logged on here cause i just wanted to know what spark plugs are recommended for a turbo rx8 but wtf what do i get, bullshit

It does seem harsh, but if you come on here claiming the impossible with dyno results that you then decide didnt happen, we think you are a troll or worse....

The spark plug question has been answered lots of times...do a search for your answers...

The remainder of the responses is due to your boastful claims...which come off as bullshit...

So bullshit in...bullshit out...

You're enjoying this aren't you?

well to tell u the truth i dont know about Mazdas, well any japanese cars really, when i was told those claims i believed them, ive always had VWs and i decided to go the a mazda, ive always wanted an 8 but just always stuck with vw and i knew how to upgrade them and i knew what to put in them but now im in a mazda rx8 and i want to know what is recommended for a turbo rx8, i have the greddy kit for the car and a borla exhaust, and they are nice because they were easier to install well actually much easier to install than any vw part but thats besides the point now will someone please help me i dont want to search what is recommended to make this car bad ass

No.

For precisely that reason.

I have a punch of "." you can borrow though. Your car looks good but the hp numbers came from over the top. Coming from someone who has a turbo should already know how to produce better numbers and know how to stay away from the bs that comes with them. It seems you bought this car with the kit on it. Not a bad idea but be careful when you throw numbers out there. Educate yourself on FI set-ups then claim your numbers. No flaming you just letting you know the reality of this forum. I havent got the turbo kit because I dont know enough yet. This thread will be forgotten in a few weeks when someone else has a disappointing entrance. Hang in there

thanks police

6) Ivory8: 247.1 whp

ill play =):wiggle:

i am in. in 4 gear full throttle, pop, and lots of smoke.. hp and tq = 0.


beers :beer:

:beer05: ah..........................

Nah. Even when I've blown motors, they continued to make some power.
Post-pop, I'd say at least 80 HP.

81!.

I tot the Real MS strutbar is a 4 point harness?
