you have no reason to run 110 because you can't accurately tune for 110. Unless you can change your tune, don't bother. You will actually run slower with 110 than 93

 

PoLaK, any mods??

Your return trip mileage is interesting . . . people should race more often. My fuel economy always takes a jump after HPDE's and then settles back down.

 

post from 2004.......

 

ok so i ran this past sunday, no race gas. RB race flash, hks exhaust, rp supercat, k&n drop in filter, and dropped my 19 for stock evo 17s. constant 15.3-15.7. last and fifth run managed to squeeze a 15.1. first four runs were on 20psi in the rears. last run was pumped up to 40psi. the weather was at 85 throughtout all the runs. also all runs i had to try to get into second twice everytime because i cant shift to second fast. dont know why. different launches at all runs. the best time was with what polak did, staged and launched at 8k rpm and drop feathered. yes i really suck... oh well, first time... maybe ill do better next time.

btw, i probably wont need to post a time slip huh?

 

no mods in 2004 when i ran the time

 

Nice to see this thread again! As i said earlier my goal is 0-60 mph under 5.5s, but right now it,s a 0-62 mph 6.10. Mods are ACT Prolite flywheel with stock clutch, Shell V-Power 99 octane fuel Motul oils and car has 38 000 km. Tires are hankook 235/35-19 and i drop the hammer at 5500-6000 rpm and always shift at 9500 rpm. This week i have installed a Haltech Interceptor and my ML Wankeltrim 2.5" Sport exhaust system. I shall map and dyno test next week, then we will see what,s happening with the 0-60 mph times...

Sounds like your goal is to keep up with a stock S2000 0-60, right?
Conditions mean more than mods for 0-60. Youre obviously doing this with a gtech... I once landed a 0-60 in 5.75sec on my 2004 stock RX8 on a fairly cold day. It felt like a very strong run with 5500rpm drop, great launch, and I hit the 1-2 perfectly, but I'll never know it was a fluke from the gtech or if it was for real. That's why I think you should go to the track and measure by quarter or eighth mile if you have those kinds of goals.

 

Did some 1/4 mile testing with my G-Tech Pro yesterday. 90F street asphalt Hankook 235/35-19 street tires 14.83s-95.14 mph 0-62 mph 6.40a that sucks becausse the 60 ft was only 2.41s. My 1/8 mile was a 9.45s-76.45 mph. The car is fuel mapped with a Haltech Interceptor and peaks 192 hp SAE at hub (RotoTest) Now my Bridgestóne R-tires will hopefully do the job to get close to 14.5s and 0-62 under 6s.
Brettus! If you read this how fast is your RX-8 today? Just curious!

Hi Lasse , have not done any testing for ages . More into tracking the car these days . It still feels real strong though .

 

Way to go..I plan on taking mine out soon...

Eh, how did you get 28 on the highway ????

Hi Brettus! I am also enjoying the car on the track more and more, but when i done some mod i also want to test it out! Right now my friend Roger and i have mapped the Renesis engine for best fuel economy, with lambdas between 0.92 and 1.06. It sure did lose some 3 mph (5 km/h) but it,s great to have 2 maps!

I did lots of testing when I was tuning my EMS . Unfortunately even though it showed gains on the dyno - it did nothing for my 0-60 or 1/4 mile times

 

Awww what happened to the .3-.4 seconds from just the flywheel?

 

Awww - who let you in ?

In answer to you question - nothing "happend" . FW does make a big difference . I found that EMS tuning did not though .

 

Just want to tell that i am very happy with my new G-Tech Pro result this evening. New personal best is 14.32s-99.4 mph! I did this on Hankook 235 street tires and a really good launch at just under 5000 rpm. Since last i have added new NGK BUR 9 EZP spark plugs which seems to work fine. Also did some fine mapping on the street to achieve best results. Next time i will try my Bridgestone 235 R-tires for better 60ft times.

Damn thats good Lasse .....

I've never seen a car forum with so many people talking about their G-tech times and so few talking about actual times at the strip. Sure, G-techs can be fun little toys but c'mon, get out there to the strip and have some fun.

 

Not much fun being beat by a family sedan .
I for one have finally realised that this is not a drag car and taking it to the strip would just be a dissapointment . The track however is much more fun & this is where the car outperforms many cars that have a better 1/4 mile time .

 

Depends how you look at it... If you go there and just try to be a better driver and get better times, take in the atmosphere, and watch some really fast cars it's a great time. If you go and will get upset by cars being faster than you it won't be much fun.
