Oh no no no, that wasn't mine. It was someone else who lurks around this board but rarely posts. Look it up, I forgot his screenname.

as 8 owners we all should be used to this type of suspense and waiting
just to name a few
1. ssr/speed force turbo project
2. turbo or SC from factory mazda
3. axial flow SC from Richard Paul (very interested about this)
4. sunflower mazda
the list goes on...........

Assuming this graph is real, I figured Nitrous would still give you a better mid range than that, I guess it depends when you use it. with little to no improvement in the low/mid range, I guess FI is out as well. So then it would have to be the ECU, or the ability to rev beyond 9K.

my back fo the envelope calcs say that at 9800RPM, 128lb TQ would get you to 239WHP.....just food for thought.

I always wanted a 10K RPM car....but I'm pretty skeptical like most others, I have to be I'm in banking.

It looks to me like spraying around 6K rpm..don't you think?

Yes it does, in my opinion, but I wonder if it's safe to do that. I'd be worried about chirping the tires on the dyno, but that could be an irrational fear. I've never used NO2 or done a dyno pull.

I'm confused at this problem of hooking up - comparing your dyno to my 196 rwhp run its pretty much the same until the big jump at the very end... bottom end really isn't effected at all

i'm not sure why this mod would make it harder to launch unless you were doing 9000 rpm clutch dumps or maybe you just overheated the tires with the burnouts (some street tires get greasy when hot - not sure what the RE40's do)

Judge Ito,

I really look forward to learning what you modified on your car to get these results. I have a ton of respect for you and your knowlege of rotaries from your posts here and on other Rotary forums. My Father owns a heavily modified RX-2 and posts as "MrMasda" on the RX-7 forum, and when I told him you had an RX-8 project, he lit up. I believe it's your RX-3 that he's always raving about.
*(Everyone who is giving this guy **** needs to realize that he backs up his talk with results. Check out his other cars.)*

Please ignore the younger members here that want instant results, such as Turbo kits for a 6 month old car. The difference between here and the Miata forum or RX-7 forum is amazing.... It's a complex car, people, and I don't think any of you out there are willing to risk blowing a motor.

Keep up the good work, Ito. Long time Rotary owners such as myself look forward to finding the power my GSL-SE had to go along with the looks and handling of this RX-8.

I agree -- looks like the rev limiter was removed and he is going beyond 9k. We all know the Renesis is good for more than 9k -- I seem to remember reading that they tested the Renesis by running it at 13 or 14k for 24 hours straight.

I can't see the bottom RPM numbers well, you could be right, but its looks like a major jump after ~7K RPM

That was just stupid.

Additionally, the dyno plot is as useless as the drag pics. Please post something that can actually be read with some context.
If spin without hop is your traction issue, you have some weird tire/surface problem and/or your dyno plot is lying.

mothers performance is where all local rotor heads in the area dyno there car.so cut the b.s crap about fake dyno sheet.

guys you really should chill
ito is not a kid, he's a grown man. i believe he did hit that dyno # and he may exceed that.
give the man a chance
go read a rx tuner magazine.chill out.
hey for what it matters i believe him and keep the secret ito if its one thing i know
mazda doesnt like your previous approach at your car.and they read this forum.

and old friend kelly

Hmmmm. Ito says he isn't trying to sell anything, and has reasons to withhold informtion.

Fine.

He also says he is just trying to demonstrate the potential of the Renesis. So, let's assume he is spraying nitrous, and is pulling 240 RWHP. That's a 33% increase over stock. There are those on this board who have said the Renesis would never support that level of power increase, but usually in reference to a boosted app. So, is Ito just trying to show us that serious power gains are possible?

While a 33% peak power gain isn't the end-all of engine tuning, if a well sorted out supercharger could yeild 33% increase in torque from 3,000 rpm to redline, now that would be something to talk about. So maybe Ito is just doing as he says - just trying to point out that big gains are possible, and that there is hope for the boosted methods.

George

p.s. Didn't Charles say that he couldn't run Nitrous at the track due to the need of a scattershield and drivesahft loop? Perhaps that is why Ito isn't talking.

RIGHT ON THE FOREHEAD FOR THOSE JUST TALKING SH*T AND NOT SUPPORTING THEIR FELOWS ROTOR HEAD, GO AHEAD ITO NOW DO 300 WHP AND 100 SHOT OF NYTROS, SO, THEY CAN TALK SHI*T WITH A REASON, THAT'S WHY I NEVER SAY OR COMENT ANYTHING IN THE FORUM, CO'Z IS FULL OF HATERS..

p.s. Didn't Charles say that he couldn't run Nitrous at the track due to the need of a scattershield and drivesahft loop? Perhaps that is why Ito isn't talking

MAYBE THAT'S A REASON, LEARN HOW TO LISTEN READ AND SHUT THE FU*K UP..

I have more to loose here then anybody else. There is more going on behind the scene that puts me in a sitiuation that I will not discuss the mod that has been done. The car made the power and it will make more power as I go along. I'm showing the potential this renesis engine has, I'm not trying to sell a product..
THE CAR IS NOT STOCK. FOR THE LAST TIME ITO., STOP CALLING IT THAT!!!! IT"S MODDED!!!! :D

OneEvilRx8, simmahdannah...

I'd still put my bet that Ito is spraying. He's probably putting up a really good hidden setup. For whatever reason he's in secrecy, I think he's making the right decision. If anyone ever accuses him of doing whatever to his RX-8, at least it never came from his mouth but rumors from the very excited fans at RX8club.com :D

Time will tell what he could do with his Rx-8. From one RX-8 owner/driver to another, don't stop til it's finished Ito!

Good point you have here. I said 1 year ago the renesis has loads of potential. I decided to show the potential 8 months later from the last time I destroyed my tranny and rear end. I could not resist the tempation of racing my car anymore.

I will keep testing and tunning and extracting more power from the bone stock renesis engine. For the serious rotary engine lovers I'll keep this forum updated..

ACK!!! I WAS HOPING NOBODY HAD GOT TO THAT YET. I'M BETTING THE REASON WE CANT SEE THE REST OF THE DYNO IS BECAUSE HE DIDNT WANT US TO SEE THE RPMS. SO BEYOND RAISING THE REV LIMIT SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE TO GET MORE AIR IN. BUT I AM DEFINITELY BETTING ON HIGHER RPM

I respect every single members opinion here, but your talking out of your buttocks. A mod has been done but a mod could be anything and nothing specific. The car looks and is in bone stock form. My last dyno run landed me 196 rwhp 8 months later I decided to play with the car again and I land a 239.7 whp.. again be a happy Rx8 owner and understand your renesis engine is a sleeping beauty. Your lucky I was able to get those pics up..
