From what I here Himni Racing has a pretty good reputation with the Rx7 community im not 100% positive though. Now if I was a shop trying to produce another turbo option for the Rx8 community and this was the response I got; i would say **** it **** these guys. Like he said more compition is great for the market. And top mounts are great for street only cars and show queens. Theres a market for everything. And how many people professionally race turboed 8's just asking?

Original Turbo 'd Auto !!
A lot of what is advertized in the first post have already been done before. So let see how this turns out.
FMIC's suck, (on the 8) enough said.

there has been no support for the RX8 Accesstuner Race for the last several years, they just make it available for download is all; WYSIWYG
anybody can still buy a Pro license for the RX8 Accessport, MM only has the rights to the remaining AP units in stock at Cobb, not the software

Q :What tuning solutions are you using, and is the MAF in a 3 inch piping ?
A : That is correct. The MAF is 3.00" T6 aluminum tubing & not the normal 3.50". This is because we are not relying on the OE MAF to meter air but rather a MAP sensor. We are using a Microtech plug & play system for tuning however, it is not the old interceptorX most know of. It is a different system that gets rid of all the old issues that were associated with the interX. However, it was in fact on the right path. Because we aren't tied to the OE MAF anymore, the 3.00" I/C tubing provides increased air velocity over that of the 3.50". Though the 3.50" is nice for the extra volume, it lacked the velocity that the engine really wanted. We tested 3 different tuning options for the 8. (Cobb AP, direct ECU re flash & the Microtech) The Cobb AP had too many tune limitations & limited availability & nothing "real time". A full re flash was great, but costly & required your old ECU to be sent to us & no ability for the customer to adjust tune himself as his needs changed. The Microtech was perfect & took care of all the above issues. It will arrive with a map preloaded & ready to go out of the box. We often say this but it's worth noting again. There are 2 completely different worlds out there... what you read online & reality. There are a lot of people that stand to 'win or loose' based on the "data" they spread across the net, promoting one product that holds all their nest eggs. We have delayed the release of this kit many times in the name of testing & more testing. We also have zero tie to any one product brand & stand to loose nothing by selecting the best tune solution that provides real world results. Careful not to believe the hype you read as the customers best interest can be push aside in favor for their own "bottom line" Also, please note that because we already have so much on our plate with our RX-7's kits/work & that we do NOT outsource our work, that there is a possibility that the RX-8 kit can be delayed even further. We only dove in for the 8 because so many customers asked us to make a kit for the 8 that was backed with the same real results our RX-7 kits yield. Know that we aren't in the RX-8 kit right now to make money. Only doing all the R&D that other kits lacked. I will have someone post the vid while on the dyno that shows the car's boost gauge in a 8.4 psi 3rd gear pull then pans right over to the dyno graph on the monitor showing that 310+ HP run.

EXACTLY! Folks must not have read that part--nor the part in which they have modified the theromstat housing to give more clearance for the downpipe and the OMP.
I agree that the Cobb does have some limitations although it does basically work for most people.
I like what he said about the log manifold--Pettit has found the same thing and actually advises NOT to put a "header" on this engine once it goes FI ( supercharger or turbo)

The pressure increase, increases the density of the air flowing through the MAF which in turn will cool it faster, so it will require more voltage to maintain the desired temperature of the "Hot Wire".

Have y'all considered contacting the Australian Adaptronic guys?

I will make a thread about my car now & will try to answer any questions you guys might have about it & link it from here. Himni Racing is the best rotary & turbo shop IMO & they exceed all my exceptions big time! Those guys brought my car to a whole new level! It's like a little monster now

Not true, if you understand how a Hot Wire MAF sensor works it does react to pressure changes, as long as the volume of air is unchanged which is why it's important to have a properly sized MAF housing.
The pressure increase, increases the density of the air flowing through the MAF which in turn will cool it faster, so it will require more voltage to maintain the desired temperature of the "Hot Wire".
