Chip/Tune for 05
 

I just bought a 2005 rx8 w 51k miles on it and I'm looking to do some tuning. I already have a Magnaflow exhaust and a K&N Typhoon cold air intake. I am looking for a decent tune kit or chip to get the most out of these 2 parts?

there is absolutely NO 'chip' that will work on our car. None, so don't waste your time / money on them.

You can however have your car tuned via either a piggyback such as the Greddy Ultimate, HKS, or Intercepter X, those will require some wiring and are mainly used for turbo / supercharged cars.

The other option is to tune using the Cobb AccessPORT, there are a few tuners out there that work with it but don't expect huge HP gains as Mazda didn't leave much HP on the table with this car.
You might pick up 5-10hp but there are definitely other advantages to tuning other then just HP

Thanks... I might just wait then cause I planned on putting a Greddy Turbo kit on as well in a couple months

sub'd for interest in the build


Popcorn anyone?

make sure you do extensive reading in the Major Horsepower subforum before diving head first into that Greddy turbo.
There's plenty of owners who are extremely happy with their Greddy kits but planning ahead of time and being prepared for certain 'fixes' on the greddy is the key to getting that install done properly.

So no chance the chip that came with my electric supercharger from eBay is not going to work? WTF!

whaaat lol

oh, that's totally different!
make sure you adjust the cam shafts for optimal power with that chip
