where are u located. Willing to purcash one and if you tune it for a decent amount i am in. Just need to know where u are. Perfectly stock RX8 with 2 grand in miles on the clock.

 

2100 34th Way North
Suite A
Largo, FL 33771

Hmm, two way trip from Omaha to Fl, 14k miles thats about $400 extra in gas alone

 

should have known...eaither california or florida are the places everyone opens shop.
Next question would be how long would it take to do what is needed. 1 week, 2 weeks, could plan an extra vacation this year around it. >LoL<

 

He's right down the road from me.. I've talked to scott on the phone before.. unfortunately, it's this or lasik for my eyes..

 

Yeah at least you'll have a faster RX8 :p

 

i would go blind and have a fast RX8....just my opinion.

 

Scott,
So you are in Largo Florida? I am in mid georgia. hell I could drive down. I was just in Tampa this past w/e. I have a 20,000 mile car with the usual bolt on's. PM me if you are interested. There is a Ga market I believe.

I wish you had called, I was in the shop on saturday. I am waiting on a reply from another guy whose car is sitting in the showroom. If I get an O.K. from him, and things go well, we should be doing business! Thanks for your support,Scott

 

SO, if I understand this correctly, isn't it going to be very similar in character to the CZ results for a N/A car, with the exception of adjusting timing and not fighting the LTFT? The stock ECU ran close to stoich until the high revs, then the CZ could get an extra 15-20 rwhp by tuning in the high revs only.

It doesn't seem like there are any gains to be made in the low to mid RPMs with a N/A car.

 

The Interceptor system has many user definable functions that the other systems do not have. In some situations like autocrossing or track days switching maps and taking advantage of these could very easily provide a more consistant, usable power band. If the N/A's you have seen are running stoich at W.O.T. then they are leaving power on the table. I have always found 12.8-13.1 at W.O.T. for N/A makes good power and long engine life. We may all find out sooner than you think! thanks Scott

 

Just my luck man. Although I did pick up a nice volvo s 40 for my daughter.

I personally feel the RX-8 with the right upgrades is capable of running somewhere in the 13's in naturally aspirated form without nitrous. The first step is going to be with proper tuning. Next comes all the traditional bolt ons which don't do alot but still do something nevertheless. Then comes attention to the engine itself. I want to see how far tuning goes on it's own. I bet it will surprise some people.

 

The Star Mazda Race cars were running .94 lambda with Motecs. Isn't this a bit leaner than 12.8-13.1 that you mentioned?

I'm really liking what I hear you saying - keep talking! :p

 

Scott, will I be able to chase a certain AFR if I have a separate wideband O2 sensor in place? I have this one coming.

 

Just hearing that from rotarygod has given me hope. :D

Can't wait till someone gets dyno numbers for this on an N/A 8.

 

Could the interceptor be used with say a hi-flow cat?

 

^^^

That's the point of the interceptor, it can be adapted to work with any and all modifications for the 8.

 

What ever happened to the 8 with the ported engine, Snoochie I believe? I would love to see what the interceptor could do for his car.

 

200+whp is EASY to believe...I've seen that on a STOCK car...so I'd guess, if this Interceptor can replicate what that car's ECU was doing, adding i/h/e/fw should get to that 230whp mark w/o too much fuss.

 

200hp stock would be nice... too bad i've only seen one car do it, i think it had a honda motor in it or something :D

 

If we could get the ECU to keep ignition advance at 30 all the way from 6000 - 9000 rpm, I would be a happy camper. Damn ECU retards timing if you touch the fuel mappings on that range.

 

nope,
we have a 204rwhp na rx8 without the highflow cat on the dyno in our little group, The usual bolt ons,light flywheel and light wheels.

mine definately doesn't do that... are you hitting the knock sensor?

 

Personally I'd rather see full advance at full throttle somewhere around 25-26 degrees.

 

^ CZ :D No knocking yet. You know how ignition is reduced when it senses the AFR going above 12:1. Damn party-pooper
