Greddy efficiency

Greddy efficiency
Say, Greddy kit owners, has anyone tried their kit with a Koyo radiator (or some other race radiator), Greddy catch can, and some oil cooler and Greddy oil pan? Just wondering if tuning the Greddy kit would be easier with some nice efficiency parts. :D
Not sure if it would help, but just wondering what the results would be.

catch can.... nope no need.... just run a big hose away....
oil cooler... YES!!!...
pan... nope... just check the oil more often.
radiator YES!!!
the result: your car can take a bigger punishment from you ...
no power gain...

Just bought the PWR radiator from TURBO8. I will be putting it in next week, along with my boost controller (hopefully upping boost to a consistent/holding 8 psi across the board, with a 10 psi "race" program). I'll let you know.

Definitely getting larger injectors from RC Engineering (need to find out whether our injectors are low or high resistance units).
I would be more than happy with an everyday drivable 260-270 whp.

How is the unichip programed, laptop? Can you change the timing and fuel settings(injector sizes, base fuel map) Also what is the base map they are using for the RX-8 or is there a base map for RX-8 stock from Unichip? It is very hard to tune if they do not provide a base map to know where and how much fuel to add and timing to remove.
Thanks
Thanks

what i know is that unichip controls timing, injection, pressure, nos injection, speedometer, bla bla bla.....
all that on a 200rpm base and trottle position.
i dont realy know were to buy it on the us... since i am in brazil!
but i have one on my car with an extra injector ... and this week i am puting it to 10psi hoping to get very very close to 300whp
right now i am running 255 to the weels over greddys standard psi

the real key to set the car up is to have a dyno... without it you are in the dark.
what we do here is to have the "program" set to zero, then we set the dyno to lock the rpm on the car for, lets say... 3000rpm. and at that rpm we start moving the variables and see what the car is gaining or loosing for each variable... timing, fuel, pressure....of course for trottle position just as well.
then you move up to 4000rpm do the same thing, and so on
after all of that you go for a full dyno run, meaning from 1000rpm to 9500rpm
and see the graph
then you move into the 'dips' to fix it...
you are all done
it takes like 2 to 3 hours top.
