Engine Mods?

Hi,

I have recently bought a black 06 plate 192, if im honest im abit disapointed with the power :-( it just needs thar bit more, and yeh i know ''i should have bought the 231'' haha however, im only 21 and insurance on the 192 is £1600. i was getting quotes over £2000 for the 231 and i just couldnt afford that much.

So if anyone could give me a few pointers on the best ways to up the power a little it would be very helpfull.

Cheers!

I'd start by reading the "Major Horsespower" section. You're going to be a very sad camper when you see what it will cost you to add power to your car. I would suggest instead on investing the money into a driving course where you can learn what the car was really meant to do well, handle.

Yea ok, thanks for that,

i just thought it would be fairly easy to tune up to at least 231 with the 231 having the same power source

But it doesn't have the same power source.
From what it sounds like, you got the 4-port instead of the 6-port.
There is a physical difference between the two.
Sorry bud.. you have A LOT of reading to do.
Search (and time) is your friend.

Maybe you skipped over my last sentence so I'll make it easier...
Search (and time) is your friend!
Keyword being search...

Now I recommend you download the Mazda Training Module:
http://www.filemonster.net/en/file/1...odule-rar.html

Then read through these threads for newbies:
https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/rx8-faq-new-owners-116484/
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-faq-9/faq-update-63747/
https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/rx-8-faq-please-read-before-posting-959/

After that... use the search feature to get what you're looking for.
