Sorry man, but theres no way the bridge is making 50 more hp. i have the same setup with bridged secondaries etc. in all honesty, it was probably lucky to add 5-10 hp, and that may be very generous...

Interesting! On my last dyno where I made 180rwhp a stock ported was at 14* horsepower. So peak gain was around 35hp but at some parts of the graph there was a gain of 45rwhp. I don't know what differences others have experienced but these are the results I've seen.

Case report, 13 Sept 2019
Full bridge build on R3, full costume ECU map with mazdaedit on dyno.
According to owner on clip it only produce 210 wheel hp, difficult to drive in traffic and rest of story. As far I can say that max hp of NA in UK
As far I know this is 2nd "full bridge" engine from them with 200is whp, "Street ported" engines on very same dyno made 190~200 whp
I don't link clip here for obvious reason, drop me pm if your are interested.

More info please , link to dyno perhaps ? Or is this just second hand info that someone told you ?

I wouldn't mind betting that same engine would make the same or better peak whp without the bridgeports.

Ok ...those videos confirm nothing .
If you watched the 'Car Throttle' series of videos where they compare the street ported vs bridgeported rx8s . The street port makes 210 and the bridge makes 190 ish , although the guy says "Josh and I are working through it" (which is code for .................. it didn't work).

non-ported engines exceed all those numbers, nothing new to see here.

As i haven't seen this addressed in my browsing on the forums anywhere and its probly not the correct thread to throw this in but here goes

Mazda RX8 Horsepower Dyno Test- Sport Compact Car Magazine

Basically our cars are allergic to dynos unless your flashing the front wheel speed sensors? Or using aftermarket ecu?

That stuff about the ecu changing (that was from 2003 btw) on the dyno is rubbish.

Fair enough so is there a way of bypassing "limp mode"? Or does it not enter into "cat overheat mode" at all?

And to recap on the entire thread, bridgeporting a renesis is just a labor intensive way of changing the exhaust note and idle?
