Something tells me I'm better off not knowing

On a more serious note, reading on the forums I've seen enough to see that BHR can be trusted, I wasn't trying to step on any toes. As for the kit failing, if I installed it myself, you never know

I'm not under warranty since my car is an import, so if I do a Spring-2009 service with coil/plug swap it may very well be with a BHR kit. So thanks for the info everyone, including friendly pm.

neXib,

fuggin is a term of endearment I use as a form of sarcasm. It's nothing personal, nor do I mean for it to be insulting.

I just can't help but be surprised that someone is concerned about the lifetime warranty when the OEM ones burn out if you look at them funny (another attempt at sarcasm / humor).

GM is pretty big, and this may have already been said, but it's a fairly safe assumption that even if BHR went away, we could still order replacements from GM... and if something were to happen to GM there are a TON of vehicles on the road today that would still need parts support... and where there's a market, there's typically someone willing to step up to support it.

Hope this helps. Like I said, I was trying to be funny, but I'm guessing it didn't translate well across the pond.

keep in mind guys: the coils aren't being sold as a performance mod but my hunch is that they can in fact help squeek out a few hp. Stay tuned....

The support from BHR is excellent! Read this for a good example of my experience: https://www.rx8club.com/good-guy-bad-guy-74/good-guy-bhr-must-read-before-buying-elsewhere-159476/

BHR is a great company with excellent products and incredible service! You should not worry about the product failing, and if for some reason it did, I am confident they would be very active in helping you resolve your situation.

Get the coils, you won't be disappointed!

What do you mean these do not give more HP. My MAF pulls in 209 g/sec at 8250 rpm and that translates to about 270 HP on a 4 port AT.
And that's the only mod I have.











Anybody want to buy some beach front property here in Arizona?

Really? what about the Nitro?

I can get 235 on my MAF w/ Mazsport coils, so that means I'm running 303HP?

The calculations are not an exact science.
Mazdamaniac is hitting the 390 g/sec range with his BHR Coils.

Whoo! Got my Coils today! Gonna try and get them in this weekend.

My Initial impressions are that the kid was well packaged and that the plug wires smell funny. If this kit were on a car, and I had never seen the stock coils on an 8, I would think these are OEM. Mounting plate and coil retainers are made out of 8th inch steel plate. Pictures coming later when I can offload them from my camera.

Aluminum indeed.

Charles, your instructions mention removing the accordion tube for the intake, does this includes disconnecting the various vacuum tubes connected to it?

If your removing the accordion tube you should remove the vacuum lines from it.
