I think Smokin' Joes is a rotary shop. I have heard about them turboing and porting things, but I haven't ever seen results. Not saying they didn't do these things, I've just never heard much about it.

i'm just curious to see if the hp gain is from just porting an otherwise stock car, like we did, or if there was anything else involved. 40 hp is one hell of a claim from a renesis.

I'd be curious as well, I've tried googling for their website but end up finding links to anti smoking websites or car nuts with the nickname smokin' joe.

Who talking about forcing me to read this thread (when did i say that) .anyways smoking joe was going to port my engine and this is what they said. By the way what are you smoking stay away from it. i never said for him to post or gave him a time line to post his result.That just goes to show you that you need to put something in your mouth before you talk read through the threads before you open it just a friendly reminder

Rotarian, my post wasn't aimed at you, I was referring to dDub.

I don't care what he's done in the past, I just think it's silly to keep opening threads to make claims with no proof and continually tease people with results that never appear.

Don't think you can lecture me on Rotaries, I've owned them since before there was an internet, and the Supercharged RX-2 in my garage should let you know I've been around these engines for a while. No one on this forum has started more threads that end in speculation, rumors and secrets than this guy. I could give a rat's *** what he does to his motor, and while no one forces me to read these pointless threads, I'm just so sick of seeing them that I finally felt compelled to share my opinion.

Sorry if it bothers you (and you want to keep sucking up to Mr. Pointless Thread), but it's the truth. Plus, if there's one thing that makes me happy, it's kicking the ant pile and watching 'em scatter. :D

If you T/C, S/C or port your 8, you are doing so with the knowledge that your warranty from Mazda on the drivetrain is gone. So no whining about that boys and gals... Mazda chasing people down on the ner?? ...why they hell is an ISP going to go through the trouble to search the DHCP server to find your IP and then pass out customer info? If a crime had been committed... might be different... but otherwise... whatever

i just hope the dealer doesn't give snoochie any **** about his tail light warranty because i ported the motor... we all know they're completely unrelated but ****...i bet they'll come up with some excuse if they know it's ported.

that's why i didn't paint it.

Not bashing you, just the thread.

I think you should've saved it all for the article. If there's no useful information in a thread, there's no point in it existing.

the funny thing is, you're right about it not being all that hard to get 350 out of porting and nitrous...i'd believe it.

but the way the thread went was just dumb. i don't think anyone is doubting ito's ability--he's good! but he just seems really arrogant-like what he says should be taken as the word of god. come on...a self-proclaimed guru? usually people wait until other people give them that designation

I have a family friend that owns a mobile station, we could use his garage...where do you live and what would you charge for this?

also, think it is something that can be done in a weekend or is that unreasonable?
