Should I take my question elsewhere?

Only certain questions and certain people get answers in this thread. Other's interest and their questions are ignored or critisized. It seems to be more a sales thank you thread than a technical answers or proof of concept thread. I don't understand the point to it, but I see that is what happens. Hopefully it will change at some later point.

The only way to know for sure is if someone does a comparison. If I reflash my car with the turbo, I may try to do a dyno pull with the OEM coils and another with the Mazsport Coils. I won't do the comparison if I am running my Emanage Ultimate because it will require retuning and its just not worth the time. It will not happen for a couple of months and if I'm able to do the comparison I will post the results.

I've posted the dyno sheets on here before. I dont sell anything I am a verizon telephone repair man not a Rotary performance salesman.

I dyno'd my car before and after at the same place Mazsport uses for their dynos called Race Related. Im working right now and I'll see if I have the dyno in my work laptop. I think it might have actually been around 17.8 hp I can't remember exactly, because it was almost a year ago. People on here have seen the dyno's, and I checked and don't have them on this laptop.

BTW the K & N, they let me dyno 4 times and I did one completely stock, then droppen in the K & N and gained 5.? rwhp, then they installed the exhaust and dyno'd again 2 more times. All that for $220, they are good people.

I posted earlier that according to my gtec pro, I picked up 5 HP with the ignition solution and I only had 6K miles on my car so the coils were working just fine. If you know how a gtec pro works, you know that where and how you run the car makes a difference in the numbers, so i ran it in the exact same place, same tank of gas, same outsude temp and the same gear. I also ran it 3 times before and after and it was 5-6 HP more everytime with new igntion. Just so you know, I have the RB intake with scoop, RB catbcak and RP supercat. I was getting 200HP before and 205 after the igntiion solution.

I agree with you 100%, there was just some people asking about the HP gain on a N/A vehicle. I plan on going FI in the next year which was one of the main reasons I got it.

From a functionality standpoint i agree with you (everyone wants to see the Renny above 400hp), but from a SALES standpoint, i would have to disagree. Prob 90% of the customer base for this solution will be N/A (just a prediction mind u). I mean think about man, how many people here have Turbo setups vs. N/A? Let alone ones that will make 400whp. For SALES purposes, realistically Mazsport would be better off targeting the N/A crowd with the FI crowd along with them, not the other way around. Either way it looks like a great product across the board for ANY application, so......

Honestly, given the (lackluster) quality of the OEM coils, this is an excellent purchase for any RX-8 owner. Ask your dealer how much they'll charge for new coils, wires and labor. Then consider that you may need new coils every 30k miles.

You're not paying $600 for a power adder. You're paying to make your ignition system what it always should have been.

True enough. The following is pure conjecture, but what the heck. What if the solution lasts twice as long as OEM? What if OEM contributes to blown engines through carbon buildup?

Never mind the fact that few people considering upgrades like this bother to have a shop install them. I do realize that some people have no desire to get dirty maintaining/upgrading their car. However, if popping your hood means your car is broken down...the RX-8 is not for you. The 8 should have a "you haven't popped the hood" CEL

The only reason every one wants dyno results now is because they are inexpensively available and they knock down most of the possibilities of junk parts that give people no horsepower or a loss of horse power.

All of this stuff costs a pretty decent amount of hard earned money and no one wants to fall for the Electric Super Charger gag anymore

I don't blame anyone for wanting to see proven results, I still see products out there claiming giant horsepower gains with no proof. I saw an exhaust offered for the RX-8 that claimed 21 rwhp gain! It just makes you feel so much more confident that you have spent your money on something that works. We dont all know how the flow chart should read or what items can free up so much cfm, so it helps for it all to be simplified to a dyno test.

10 items at a time is pretty good. Even if it was a stocked item they probably wouldn't be stocking more than ten at a time. Once the demand slows down I'm sure they will have some ready to order without a wait. BTW Turbo is better!

Yeah Scott...got my confirmation today! Woot!
Thanks Mucho!

Even though we know the Scanguage II is somewhat inaccurate in it's HP readings.............I wonder if I will be able to see any difference there?
Guess I will try to find out.................BUT......I didn't buy this as a HP increase mod and if any, it's a bonus plain and simple.

Yeah, I know.......was just thinking that if I can get a consistent reading beforehand(at a given set of parameters) and then do the same after, I should at least get some idea. Ya know what I mean? I'll probably have to take up to three or four before and after readings and then look at the means and the std dev.
Still might not tell me anything other than to answer....."yes" or "no", and this would ONLY be slightly better than my butt dyno.

Well I put the car on the dyno and came away with crappy results. Seems like a great excuse to buy these coils.

It seems as though there is no excuse to not buy the coils.
