More N/A Dyno Results
I wanted to share recent N/A dyno results with you guys but first some history.
12/28/07 originally posted in another thread
Hey guys, well we went to the dyno tonight with an n/a RX-8 and did a dyno comparison of the coil packs.
We performed a pull with good stock coils (no white markings on the back and had no hesitation on acceleration etc.) and then unplugged the coils and plugged in our new units and did another run. The improved spark does makes a difference as you can see! We did a couple more pulls (same results) then let the car sit with a fan on it for about ten minutes to eliminate some of the heat soak and it did 191rwhp.
The vehicle was running the factory computer with the latest factory flash. I hope this helps answer any questions you have. As always thanks for your interest, Scott
Update! Back on the rollers!
We returned to the dyno with the same vehicle and using the same fuel.
This time we installed the Interceptor-X EMS and did some tuning. The combination picked up 20 rear wheel peak horsepower but as the graph shows an overall improvement was accomplished and was as high as 25rwhp at about 8500rpm. When you are running the vehicle hard and shifting at say 9,000rpm the tachometer will drop 1500 to 2000 rpm depending on the specific gear, final gear ratio, tire size etc. In a side by side racing situation these two cars would accelerate at a noticeably different rate.
The improved engine tuning using the Interceptor-X E.M.S. combined with the improved spark has made a significant difference in the acceleration and the overall vehicle feel.
For those of you thinking about the upgrade path to forced induction keep in mind these are two modifications you will need once you get there and will provide some noticeable gain until that time comes.

lol... finally... well guys i once again had the opportunity to have the car tuned again by scott... let me tell this car now is so much fun to drive... there is pick up everywhere... in the upper rpms (7000- 9000) the car pulls so hard... it really wants to just take off... overall i believe this should be the direction for every single person expecting to stay n/a and i think everyone who is going to turbo the car they should run this stuff in the mean time..
to recap... the car is significantly more powerful
scott thank you for producing such great products

I agree and have run the InterceptorX EMS and Ignition Upgrade on my RX8 for a while.....
I feel this is a great mod for your NA 8 if you consider $$ vs. gains and the other options out there.

RX8 and a Truk....
It may add 0hp. It could be the car in question was lacking in areas the mods fixed. For a car not-lacking in those areas, the gains may be non-existent, because there's nothing to fix. KnowwhatImean?
My car made 198whp (on the previous engine) w/ Intake/Exhaust. Some cars just need more tuning to get where Mazda SHOULD have had the cars originally.

The dyno shown for the stock coils appears to indicate that the coils were in good condition - I've seen plenty of dynos on here where they were in bad condition and the affect is pretty obvious .
So if the OEM coils are in good condition and the only thing that is changed is the upgraded coils - we should still see a power increase no matter what other mods the engine has .

Disagree - the ignition system is a known weak point so it should make a difference to power no matter what the engine was putting out before .

But...did I mention I'm a skeptic? :D

I have the same questions as DMP. I want to see some NA mods that push car well above 200 whp. 225whp would impress me.
Please note this is not knocking these coils or the tuning because a "real" gain occurred for this specific car. But I want to see NA mods that push the car beyond what many feel it should have came with in the first place.
