Help...do these power mods actually work???
Saw these two power mod options on ebay (although the second one is linked to a company in Orlando), just wondered if the +25bhp gain is nothing more than hot air, or a possible gain.
As a recent buyer into the wonderful world of RX8 ownership, I'm a bit nervous of toying too much with the set up other than proven modifications. Thanks guys Greetings from a dull and cold Scotland!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SPRINT-BOOSTER...d=p3286.c0.m14 http://www.magnumtuning.com/index.ph...&termek_id=660 |
hahahahahahahahaha
oh, man. |
In other words, no.
|
Thanks fellas....thought as much!!!

Yeh, I did drop them a line to query that, yet it mentions the 8 in the title!! Strange one!!
I understand from talking to a local Rotary Specialist here that the biggest power improvement comes from a turbo or supercharger, are there any smaller gains to be had that are less expensive? ie. chip etc?? Thanks |
You guys are such skeptics!!
surfbluesurf will see a performance increase and possibly a couple of HP increase from the first one listed......... WE RECOMMEND FOR USE WITH THE SPRINT BOOSTER, K+N AIR FILTERS WHICH OFFERS A SMOOTHER UNRESTRICTED AIR FLOW GIVING YOUR VEHICLE THE PERFECT BALANCE :lol: |
The SprintBooster actually magnifies the signal from the pedal to the computer, and makes the car accelerate faster at lower pedal pressure - kind of like stamping the pedal instead of gently pressing it.
Weird concept, but quite popular in Japan...... S |

Yeah just get an electric turbo im making 300+ whp with it , get the performance chip cause it saves gas. Why spend 6k+ on a turbo when u can get my set up?
If you took my post seriously then go sell your 8 right now and buy a civic thanks. |
^.........no shit huh? That's bizarre

you can get a mid pipe or some pulleys i have the mazsport ignition solution and see a nice difference with that or the cobb access port is nice as well. i also have the aem cold air intake but that is more for sound then power(you only get 1-3 hp form an intake)
Many thanks for that, have fun!! |
