That's my zip code? what the heck is that?
is that a fully working RX8 for that price? :eek:
May I should get a second RX8 :D

Oops just the engine+tranny, never mind. :rolleyes:

crappy pics, but better than nothing.

these ports are basically done--except the final cleanup with the sanding wheels.

the intake is probably a bit larger than the future ones will be, but i'm sure it'll get the job done.

and no dyno today :(
apparently, god saw it fit to make it snow where i live.....keep in mind, i live in the desert.

so whenever that crap melts off, we'll get the dyno pull in.

Alright I was just going to call you and see if you still wanted to do this but it won't work out with this junky snow. We'll do this asap everyone don't worry.

so what did your car dyno at before the port?

is the car back together, and just waiting for normal weather for the dyno? If so, notice any changes?

Those edges look very good.

Nice and smooth looking. You really smoothed out that exhaust port. The difference is amazing.

For the port illiterate, can someone post a picture of the original ports? I have no idea what these pictures mean because I have no basis for comparison. Thanks.

if you go a page or two back, rg posted one with a shape drawn on it. you can use that as a reference.

any more progress on this? obviously very interested in any results as of yet :)

tentatively, we may be doing the dyno pull tomorrow.

Can't wait for the results.

Yeah I had plans for 2marow but I was willing to get people mad at me to go up and pull this thing. And we can actually see sunlight now so there shouldn't be any interruptions.

just give a call when you know for sure and i'll schedule it with the place. i may dyno the halfie too just for fun.

If you guys are planning on pulling the engine out in the near future, I need to know when and it's got to be kept on schedule. I can get out there for a couple of days but it also has to be during the week. The weekend is harder to fly on since I go standby.

we doing it today snoochie?

alrighty then...
150-someodd in 4th gear
162 in 3rd gear.

forgot to check the afr's in 4th, but 3rd was right around 12:1 @5500-7500 rpm, then leaned out to about 12.5@ 87-8800.

this is @ 4500 ft above sea level and 60 someodd ambient temps. i'm not sure if the dyno accounts for elevation in the correction, but that's not important anyway....we're looking for % gain, not the actual hp.

so we're under way. next step is to pull the motor and have my way with it :D

If you guys want me to come out there, you're going to need to give me some warning in advance.

will do

Good job so far, if it all works out I think I'll have to be one of your first customers since I live near by. Can't wait to see the numbers.

Yeah we'll let you know in advance. I need to get someone to help me pull it out so I'll keep you guys updated.

work has kinda slowed down the last week... bad for my money situation, but good for time. i think i'll be able to help pull it. :)

btw,
anyone have l vs. m flash dyno comparisons?

This thread is an exemplary example of what this forum should be like. Good luck fellas.
