one of the fastest street rx8's in the world and looks completely stock minus the intercooler, so many highly modded rx8's running around with less than 200whp. this will do the rx8 community well.

Relocated to the firewall behind the washer bottle. It is non-functional. It just tells the PCM what it wants to hear about its presence and operation.

I believe the "remedy" is call pre-mix.
I'm sure there are plans to come up with a downpipe scheme that allows for the OMP and the APV motor.

Havent gotten the chance to drive her yet, but ma Pops says it has MOUNTains of power/torque everywhere in the range, and pins him to his seat upon accelleration, that there is hardly any lag, and i quote " it is the most powerful machine [he] has ever driven"

He ALSO says that she's quite thirsty...but that probably has much to do with him "testing her out"

Hey Jamaal, it's time to drop your ride. I know stock looking sleepers rule,, but that wheel gap, has to go. i hated mine.

Edit:
Turblown, I still think right after the 'What is your RX-8 Missing" text, Elliot should pop out and say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSTTTTT !

alnielsen is correct.

Also a very thin coat of paint is fine, it isn't the color it is the thickness that messes it up.

Star Trek Theme... Good job on the vid Turblown!

From a standing start, without revving it up, is there a lot of wheel spin if you stomp on it? If so, up to what gear?

And intercoolers act more as heat sinks anyway .....

Just thought I chime in... progress has been real good over the coming year from people only getting 220whp from greedy kits now 450hp with turblown.

With this talk about boosting and HP numbers make me so anxious to get mine finished and I do believe that 500hp will happen in the near future. Well at least that's what I'm aming for with my current build.

Mine is actually BBE coated from Swaintech which is supposed to help with heat dissipation and leaves the intercooler black.
