Ported renesis engine plus a 150 n2o shot will land me 350rwhp non-turbo..
My Rx8 will be going to the dyno soon. This time a forum member and moderator will come down to make a story for Rx tuner magazine. This will be my story on some of the potential I have found with the rx8 and nitrous for the magazine. I will leave no secrets untold. I expect 350 rwhp with no problems, 350 reliable hp is my goal to run in the 11 second zone with drag radials on my daily driving Rx8.

Good luck..I'm interested in seeing how the stock rx-8 drivetrain components will hold up to some nitrous assisted launches on drag radials or some et streets. Hope all goes well on the dyno.

Good luck, I am a lot more interested to hear about what porting etc. has yielded you but I am also interested in learning the secrets of the 150 shot. If you are shooting for 350RWHP that means you aren't making too much more than 200rwhp without the nitrous though, which is kind of a let down, but will wait and read the article before making and judgements.

That is really awesome PandP. Although I find it weird that everyone is welcoming you with open arms now(not that they shouldn't be). I'm very excited to see the potential of this awesome engine. One last thing, do you go to Raceway Park in Englishtown? Just wondering, I thought I heard someone say you frequented there, it would be cool to see you drag it once. Thanks and good luck.

Port and polish is probably going to run from $300-$700. Of course if you cant R&R the motor yourself thats an extra $500-$1000, plus you will have to strip the accessories, another $200 if you can't do it yourself, plus you will have to replace the seals etc. at the same time so $500-$1000 in parts and then of course the labor of pulling the motor apart and putting it back together. Added up quick didn't it.

Curious what the most hp can be obtained from the Renesis in its naturally aspirated form.
