Without starting another thread, I was wondering about other performance mods. From the looks of it, there isnt nearly as many mods as for the RX7. Besides intake, exhaust, what is there without going with a turbo that will give a little gain. Would a RB flywheel be a good investment? though im scared itll hurt the torque, which I cant have... ? Any of you guys broken out of the 14's without hurting the wallet?

it's still gonna cost you a few thousand dollars to break into the sub 14's (greddy turbo kit at least) and thats if your a decent/ good driver. I don't think I've seen any slips or proof with anyone hitting high 13's or low 14's with just bolt-ons.

Your shitting me, I was thinking the RX8 was faster than that. Oh well, Im mainly getting an 8 as my daily driver, something fairly fast/quick... so whatever the exhaust/intake gets me will be just fine I guess. Say if I was to go FI, what would be a good stand alone ecu to go with? I dunno if Id wanna buy an actual Greddy kit, though im not so sure what all is out there for the RX8, so that might be the only sane option

The popular but pricey standalone ECU available now is the Interceptor-X by Mazsport. It's $1600. From a dyno sheet somewhere on the forum it gives about 8 max whp gain, but gains up to 20 whp over the stock horsepower curve. If you ever decide to go turbo in the future this would be a good investment to make.
