I'm just bitter because my rx8 is flooded. That was supposed to be fixed with the M-flash. Oh well there. I have no money so i'll have to tow it to the dealer next week.

<-- just angreh

 

12:1 is about right for 10:1 compresson with 6psi, but it really depends on how well the intercooler is functioning, the heat range of the plugs, and the ignition timing.

In all honesty I would do all testing at 11.5:1 then once I got everything steady I'd bring it up to about 11.8.

I'm not a fan of boosting high compression engines though. Not to mention hi compression engines with square combustion chambers.

 

If you're truely interested in "track times" why are you taking jabs at some dudes time slips by comparing it to your imaginary one?

Where did you see a turbo 8 go 12.5? What was the mph? What was the 60'?

 

LOL and you banned me once??This forum is for discussion of the rx8 whether you like it or not.Banning for talking trash about the car?my350z has its share of Z haters and its not like i hate the 8 or anything.

I think it makes a for a fine, nimble grocery getter.A 12 secong car without major engine work is not happening.Emmissions have ruined the rotary im sorry to say and without further R&D money "not just mazda cash either"will die a painful death.

 

i dont think tuning the rx8 to 11.0 a/f's will be easy since the ecu throws codes running rich at 12.0's... the elctronics on this car are retarded, you get a code for anything that might alter the stock emissions.

 

There is a way around this. It just hasn't hit the market yet.

Just like with the FD RX-7 parts for the 8 are going to be slow to the market because it requires exclusive development for a single platform that doesn't have a huge share of the aftermarket community.

 

...that and they suck.

jk

 

Does anyone want to take a stab at why I have had such an easy time with my car?
Why 11.5:1 A/F doesn't "throw a code"?
Why "reputable" companies have had their "kits" in the R&D stage for over a year while I built mine on the floor of a townhouse garage in less than a month?
Why people have ridden along in my car and noticed, quite quickly I might add, that mine is faster and smoother than the parts hangers at some well-known "tuner" shops?

I read tirades like the ones above and I have to chuckle.

I'm no Judge Ito. My stuff is all out there for everyone to see and take as they see fit. I give away my knowledge (acquired the hard way - by experimentation) for free and only Greddy seems to understand it.

Are you all just skimming, or is all my pontificating on the merits of tuning a turbocharged RX-8 just falling on deaf ears?

 

You know I appreciate you, that's why I like to pick your Brain... And I hope you still let me and keep posting because most know your alright...... And I have Big Ears , so I hear you well..

 

Nice to see you under an alias WTF no turbo. The ISP doesn't lie!
