i speculate that snoochies motor will make at least 300 whp @ around 10-12 psi (with bigger injectors) with the porting... but that's pretty reasonable.

I'm going to get 725 rwhp @ 73 rpm out of a non ported 1 rotor based off of a 12A running a mack truck turbo at 978 psi using a Holley double pumper carb!

I'll be making a new thread on what was done to my car. I'll ask Ryan to make it, where I could keep members like you out of the loop.

I believe him, I just think he should use a 55mm DCO Weber and eliminate the extra 90 degree turn. I think you will improve performance by about 27%.

Edit) I'm sorry after recalculating it I find only 21%.

Another fantastic thread from Ito, P & P, whatever...

Over 4 months and no results. I can't believe I defended this guy in the first ridiculous thread (which was deleted) about this mod.

"Dude! I'm going on a date with Pamela Anderson soon, I swear! I'll take some pictures and show you when I do it." What a load.

And what's your problem?

Ever thought he's busy? He's selling his ******* shop and moving while trying to find a new shop to work with, give him a break, jeez...

With respect like this it makes me wonder why he even bothers entertaining you people, he could've easily kept all of his findings to himself while you all wait many years before another person experiments with porting a renesis.

What do you expect with Mazda threatening him?

I don't see how ANY of you can complain at all. If he doesn't ever share anything then you'll be exactly where you would've been if he hadn't ever posted. If he does, well then that's great of him and you should be appreciative. But to get upset because he's taking too long to give all the info of HIS work from HIS shop and hasn't because of either being busy or threatened by Mazda is just idiocy.

Ok, I was unaware of that. Where's his thread with detailed pictures, how-to, and everything you guys want then? Why isn't it stickied or something then?

By the way, is there a reason why you're using all caps? Are you angry or does it make you feel like your point is more meaningful that way?

Until Smoking Joe's posts on this site how they did it and issues they had, you still don't have any advice. Nobody forces you to read this thread, and nobody (including Smoking Joe's) is under any obligation to post results or advice much less on your time schedule.

Just the type of attitude I'd expect from someone who joined a less than a month ago. Ito's dealings here on this forum have all been pointless wastes of bandwidth. There was a thread about his great 1/4 times which went on for months with no timeslip posted. Dynos were promised with no results. Then an absolutely assinine topic about his "stock" engine putting out 250HP at the wheels, which over the course of two months he continued to claim was "bone-stock" and refused to give any indication of what had been done. The man was more interested in arguing over the definition of "stock" than providing any real information or results. His attitude has always been "Well, if you guys won't kiss my butt, then F* you, I won't post how I did it!" (Not that he ever has, anyway..)

All the crap about Mazda watching him is garbage. If he was that worried, he wouldn't be posting anything here. Mazda's lawyers are more than able to check IP addresses to find out who someone is.

The bottom line is this: I'm sure he knows what he's talking about with Rotaries, but all these threads he makes add up to one big, steaming pile of nothing. Why does he bother posting anything if there's no results, no proof, and no sharing of how he achieved the mystical improvements that no one can verify? One of two reasons:

#1- He's an egomaniac who wants everyone here to beg, "Oh please, O Rotary master, tell us what you've done! Pretty please? You're the coolest...." His big dramatic "walk-out" on the Forum is proof of that, but he couldn't stay away long. or...

#2- He's gearing up to sell these services to the public. You can feed me that crap about how he hasn't worked on any 8's yet, but so what? Just because a College football player isn't getting paid now doesn't mean he isn't showing off so he can make money later.

Waste. Of. Bandwidth.

Hope you're not talking to me, cause I've been here as long as you and have double the posts, not that it matters to me.

He has made public contributions such as a DIY porting guide for the 7 and posted it on the forums without people pleading. If this thread is for his ego (which I don't think it is) then wouldn't you just adding to it further his self-aggrandizement by having people argue over him. If he is going to make money on it, he doesn't need more advertisement. His shop was full booked when he sold it and he wasn't accepting more work. He doesn't need marketing.

I may have only been here a month but I've been on rx7club.com and nopistons.com much longer than you've been here. Your point? Just because I've owned an rx8 for less time than you makes my opinion less valid? Oh and don't forget about the fact that I've been reading stuff by ITO since before this site was even around...

Wanna cry about it? Because it sounds like you already are...

Is anyone forcing you to read his posts? No... Is anyone forcing you to be on here anticipating his results? No... So if you're so pissed off why not just leave this thread closed and move on with your life? Obviously thats too hard for you to do since you're still here.

Sounds to me like you're a waste of bandwidth too. You don't need to be in this thread, you don't need to be reading this, and no one would care if you never had opened this thread, but yet you still feel you have the right to bitch and moan? Why don't you do something more constructive with your time since you feel this is such a big waste and all, and tear down your motor and experiment yourself? Or better yet, why not just shut up and worry about other things in your life that matter more.

Sorry if I sound harsh here but you're really making a big deal out about something that is very minor. So what if he hasn't given any hard evidence? So what if you think he's taking too long? If it's that big of a deal just move on with your life, why does it matter? Why do you care so much?

Also, take a trip over to nopistons.com and see how much he has contributed to the rotary community there with no prevoking, no begging, nothing. He just did it because he wanted to help the community. He has plenty of threads about rotary engine building, porting, clearancing, and other tips and tricks for reliable porting. What have you done for the community?

did smokin' joe get that power from the porting alone, or was there anything else involved (cat removal, header, tuning, etc...)?

Threatening on what? Warranty...give me a break. On trade secrets?
You know what? I don't give a rats tail about him or his shop or his car. I hope he does well in his life, and thathe manages to raise a good, decent kid. If he decides to take his Renesis porting templates to the grave with him: good for him.

I plainly don't care.

Don't try to preach to me on this...just, don't post any nonsense defending -justifying- him.
