He does have a boost leak...

I think he dynoed after the leak was fixed.

I've noticed most of the earlier kits were dynoing around 240 and the new kits seem to be around 220 and look like **** at high revs. I would love to know why.

Didn't Greddy release a new map or something?

rkostolni

Ya but some people have gotten custom tunes and while that improves the high rpm smoothness, they still are only making around 220 or so.

That's kinda dissapointing for 5k total cost. Have these people making 220 or so fixed the leak that was mentioned.

My kit was running at 4 psi when I first got it. Had nothing to do with the tuning of the A/F levels. The actuator rod was set too loose. Then we adjusted it & it was 6 psi/4 psi & played with it again & it is now 7.5 psi. Now, we have leaned out the map & to run with 7.5 psi.

if you don't mind me asking...how much did all this tweaking cost you? or did you do it yourself?

Nice vid...I finally was able to see it.

damn thats kinda disapointing, i run a 14.5 stock, if i was running the greddy turbo i would hope for a better time then 14.0 even with only 5-7pounds of boost

Fanman

Are you running on the same track ? I don't think so. Just because you run a 14.5 on one track, doesn't mean you can run a 14.5 on all tracks. You have to look at the improvement from stock to turboed RX8. In this case it was over 1 sec. in the 1/4 mile time. Too many times novices just look at the magazines and see 14.5 or run a time at their local track and think that is applicable to all tracks, & all conditions. He was in the 15's & now he is almost breaking into the 13's. That is pretty impressive. I have a track near me that is pretty much the closest one to Los Angeles where the elevation is about 3,000 ft., it is blazingly hot, & the traction always sucks. If you could do the 14.5 there with your stock RX8 I would give you $1,000. Every track is different, if you read his initial post you would see that he has an incline at the end of the 1/4 mile.

i drag in las vegas at 2175ft in 115 degree weather, we also have an incline here at the end of the 1/4

sorry i guess i came off to mean in my last post, didnt mean to offend

Fanman

Don't worry, I don't think anybody is offended just you can't port through numbers from one place to the next. I have seen S2000's with I/H/E running 15's at my local track. Hell, I drove the hell out of my supposed 13 sec. car & I got 13.9 sec. Every track is different. Traction is a big point. Some tracks are newer & have nice new surface, or replace their surface on a consistent basis. Some don't. That is why you see people with drag slicks drop a lot of time off their 1/4 miles a lot of times. We had a guy here once with a nasty Viper that did his first run with his regular, aired down street tires, then swapped it out for slicks on the next run & dropped .8 sec. off his time. Back to back.
