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

Raptor

Oops just the engine+tranny, never mind.

crappy pics, but better than nothing.

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

guitarjunkie28

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

guitarjunkie28

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.

Snoochie

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.

mysql101

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?

Ajax

Those edges look very good.

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

Aoshi Shinomori

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.

guitarjunkie28

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

webba_az

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

guitarjunkie28

tentatively, we may be doing the dyno pull tomorrow.

Kari

Can't wait for the results.

Snoochie

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.

guitarjunkie28

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.

rotarygod

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.

guitarjunkie28

we doing it today snoochie?

guitarjunkie28

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

rotarygod

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

guitarjunkie28

will do

Kid_Icarus

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.

Snoochie

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.

guitarjunkie28

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.

guitarjunkie28

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.
