I have 10 years experince in the rotary world, what I have found is that wen RB says that their product makes 10 hp it does, that does not mean it is the best product in the market it means they say what they get out of a part, right now i just change my rb header from my race car and got 9 rwhp moore but that does not mean RB lied, there header made what they said it was going to.

I can tell you that what I am tired of is companys that say they make x hp an when you test the part you dont come even close , and end up putting the RB part back.

I have a RB 6 puck racing clutch in my race car, im at 269 rwhp I also have the same clutch in my 347 rwhp fd, NO PROBLEM SO FAR.

 

 

ooh NICE PIC MERRY CHRISTMAS HOGCAR

 

hehehe

..... Racing Beat 900 HP ducted fan turbo three Rotor

 

yeah, it's a shame that their RX-8 parts are so mediocre ...

heh, sometimes better to let sleeping dogs lie, this thread is like a bad train wreck ...

 

i didnt bump it

 

Team,
What companies are you fond of for their cutting edge products for the 8, especially normally aspirated?

 

With a FRAM filter

I joke, I joke....

 

^That is the one thing I will agree with you on!

for me to poop on. lol

beers

 

fwiw, I have nothing against RB, my issue is with the people who keep throwing up their website link like they're Moses coming down from the mountain top

I mentioned earlier in the thread that IMO their stuff is top quality

I think a performance exhaust that weighs more than OE is kind of a joke, but some people are more interested in that slick logo on the tip than anything else, to each their own ...

and the statement you replied to was just tongue in cheek remark, you guys keep going and and on with this BS thread, you're just asking for people to F' with you just for the annoyance factor ...

 

On the multimedia page there is a link to a "best motoring" video. They test different tuning stages on the RX 8 ..from NA to FI... very very nice video.

The second Rx 8 they test is a NA version where they only worked on the exhaust line (so says the tuner) and the came up with a 16bhp difference... (?!)

So there must be something to get out of it ...

For those who didn't yet see the movie .. take a beer.. relax and enjoy!

 

just because i think posting pictures of race cars is significant.... :




...they would do sooo much better if they had racing beat stickers....

 

its for a plane so maybe its ...... nah your right i cant even find a justification for it

 

its for a plane so maybe its ...... nah you're right i cant even make up a justification for it

 

the car pictured earlier was not better because of the sticker- its because Jim Mederer was driving it

 

No it was the sticker. Jim was not driving.

 

There are many tuners here that claim they got 12+ hp from a cat back exhaust only, and that has been shown as pure BS. Bottom line when somebody has a $$$$ interest it behooves them to state a big hp # so they can sell more exhausts. I'll trust the posters on the board who are getting 3-4 whp from their exhausts that that is about it.

 

A total lack of knowledge, Fram makes some VERY good racing filters, this appears to be an HP6 but I can't tell for sure. Maybee you should look at some real race cars and see what systems are being used before you pass judgement.

 

oops i said Jim Mederer earlier i was incorrect - that car was driven by Jim DOWNING

 

Try again.

 

does it really have any relevance in this woefully pointless thread?

 

jim downing drove #7 with walt bohren and john morton and jeff kline in the #17

edit- oh i have the wrong year

Pete Halsmer and Rick Knoop drove that car

 

i like pointless. besides - just passing the time

 

yeah, I suppose it matches well with their RX-8 exhaust
